Capital City SuperCenter: The Sharpshooters face the Gems, who travel after already having two home games. Smokey looked very much in form already with his 505 for Diamond to lead things off. Capital City's steady captain Chris answered with 523 to pull them slightly ahead in the early going of this game. Citrus didn't do very well on her turn, taking only 144 for the Gems, leaving them vulnerable. Missy also struggled, producing a measly 96 for the Sharpshooters. Diamond's Pedey couldn't get into a rhythm, and had only 117 as their lead remains very cautious and unstable. Sprinkles unleashed 987 for Capital City on her turn, almost assuring them of a win with the late epic. Rosalina had a good rallying effort wiped out by optional replay, as she knew she'd be short. Her 112 on the second try left the Gems far short at 878 total. Sharpshooters newcomer Nicole had only 51, icing their win at 1657 as they start a long home stand off right. Capital City is 1-0 while Diamond drops to 1-2.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The season's first division game is from the Eastern Hills, and doubles as an Expansion Derby between these two first-wave era teams. Delila, the reigning MVP, had 287 for Atlantic to start this game. Jasmine answered with 583 for Freedom, only ending when a ball got just over the base of her bat. Isabella, one of Atlantic's two rookies, replied with 433 for the Pirates to cover the deficit for now. Stinky answered with 362 for the Cascades, restoring a slightly smaller lead for the hosts. Americus stumbled with 129 for Atlantic, failing to cover the deficit this time and giving the opposition room to breathe. Roxy took advantage with 227 for Freedom, creating a decent lead for this late point in the game. Klaus chopped a crisp 769 for the Pirates, bringing their final to 1618 and forcing a response from the hosts. Nikolai rallied back with 608, enough to give the Cascades a win with 1780 overall. Freedom's bold effort puts them at 1-0, while Atlantic suffered some bad luck to fall to 0-1.
Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The new-look Meteors, with a redesign in roster, logo, and jersey, have their home opener against a brutally effective three-headed monster for Hummingbirds. Princess had a bit of trouble with her turn, ending on 207 for Tysini. Mams chipped 256 for Viewpoint Sound, acting in her new role as captain. Leandra matched that with 256 for the Hummingbirds, getting thrown off and knocked down by an odd bounce at the end. Hoot bounced 344 for the Meteors, adding to their improbable halftime lead. Charli fired back for Tysini, keeping them alive with her big 481. The Viewpoint Sound rookie Nibbles couldn't quite keep up, taking 264 for his team as they'll trail heading into the final players' turns. Brownie's Hummingbirds' career got off to an embarrassingly poor start with a meager 13 points, giving them a final of 957. Dominic covered it for the Meteors, with his 336 sealing their win at 1200. Viewpoint Sound pulled off a massive upset to start the year at 1-0, while Tysini's got a lot to figure out from 0-1.
Ebay Center, Queens: The Flames try to get their offense in form against a tough Knights side. Terrace City's ever-reliable captain Kiwi began the game with 591 for the visitors. Crystal replied with 541 for Queens, keeping her team very close early on. Jennifer answered nearly as well, taking 527 for the Knights to basically restore their lead. Another former Shore, Paige, pulled the Flames ahead with a massive 671, setting this game up to be an offensive war. Oreo poked 290 for Terrace City, giving them a small lead against an apparently dangerous offense. Violetta showed growth for her second appearance, and her 256 put Queens back on top in a very tight game with a player each to go. Stripes covered it with 135 for the Knights, but they are looking at a very realistic chance to lose with a total of 1543. Max went with 368 for the Flames, earning them the win on 1836 total. Queens improves to 1-1 while Terrace City will start at 0-1, a much different position than where they were last year.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige make their home opener against a very different Waves side. Snuggle struggled with only 126 for Oceanside on his second effort after a false start wiped out his promising first try. Acorn smashed 723 in response for Lighton, establishing a strong lead from the start. Caitlin covered much of the deficit with her 494 for the Waves, starting her season on a good note. Spirit maintained the Prestige lead with her 256, leaving it weaker than it was as the game reaches half-completion. The rookie Celestia covered the deficit with 439 for Oceanside, making a battle out of this game. Twinkie I shot back with 308 for Lighton, but either team could stake a claim to this game in the end. Dewey had 258 for the Waves in his first professional appearance, ending their efforts at 1317, which stands on shaky ground. Salmo slapped 529 for the Prestige, easily securing their win at 1816. Lighton is up to 1-1 on the year, while Oceanside will start at 0-1.
Verizon Field, Pacific: Both teams are playing their third game of the year, with this ending a three-game homestand for the Volcanoes and marks the first Defenders road game. Bianca has found some comfort in leading off for Southridge, hammering 685 in this appearance to set the tone. Starlight answered back with 572 for Pacific, keeping them in the game early on. Debby had a weaker score for the Defenders, adding 290 to their lead. Ms. Kitty countered with 429 for the Volcanoes, just enough to give them a narrow lead. Stephanie had 208 for Southridge, recovering a small lead once again. Leonette matched it with 208 of her own for Pacific, setting up a close finish for the final players to determine. The Defenders' Hughbert did quite well for himself and his team, scoring 510 to bring their total to 1693, which will force a large response from the hosts. Chicky Phil choked the game away with only 24 for the Volcanoes, leaving them short at 1233. Both teams move to 1-2 on the year.
FedEx Ground, Eastside: The new digs have yet to be friendly for the Sharks, and going against the Swifts in the first game of their title defense doesn't bode all that well either. Patches carved out a cozy 578 for Boston to start them off well. Chelsea lacked command on her swings for Eastside, ending up at 264 and a noticeable deficit early on. Puff II had her struggles with a cluttered pitch, but wrangled 294 for the Swifts to add a bit to their lead. Taylor looked strong on her second try after a false start, but an errant backward swing ended her turn at 201 for the Sharks. Gradley bashed 512 for Boston, extending their lead quite nicely in the process of the reliable turn. Niki shot back with jsut 166 for Eastside, letting the game slip further away. Sweetheart iced the Swifts offense with 310, putting them at 1694 in an expected victory. Paps had 98 for the Sharks, and they lost with 729. Boston starts the title defense at 1-0, while Eastside is 0-3 in a very ruined building-opening homestand.
Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The Arrows get their home opener against a traveling Torpedoes team. Smudge pounded 805 for Infinity, as the captain leads the remodeled team in their season opener. Sally replied with 450 for Archtown, but they'll need a lot more to catch up. Solaris tried a backhand flip at the end of his turn, but it failed, so he contributed 469 to the Torpedoes. Sleepy B. failed to help the Arrows cause with only 185 points. Whiskers, herself a former Arrow, also struggled, taking just 141 for Infinity as the game slows in pace quite a bit. Ruby tried a scoop play for Archtown, but erred in execution, and her 133 reduced Archtown's chances of a comeback. Mr. Snowman put up 384 for the Torpedoes to bring them to a final of 1799. Dusky picked up 304 for the Arrows, giving them 1072 in the loss. Infinity starts the year off right at 1-0 with their new-look roster, while Archtown drops their home opener to fall to 1-1.
Capital City SuperCenter: The Sharpshooters renew their quasi-rivalry with the Rockers in their second game of the year. Misty thought she had things under control until a slow-paced ball threw off her timing and sent her to 98 points for Westside. Chris answered with a solid 361 for Capital City to give them the early lead. Goatee got the Rockers on track with her 460, pulling them ahead at least temporarily. Missy replied with 481 for the Sharpshooters, restoring their lead and a little more at the halfway mark. Midnight cobbled 289 in a shaky turn for Westside. Sprinkles had no trouble with confidence, knocking 522 for Capital City to boost their lead late in the game. Slinks came up big with 583 for the Rockers, keeping them alive at 1430 as the hosts will need a response to come away victorious. Nicole's struggles to adapt continued, with only 44 for the Sharpshooters, costing them the game this time as they close with 1408 in a close battle. Westside is 1-0 on the backs of heroics from their veterans, while Capital City falls to 1-1 with the hard luck loss.
Google Pitch at Union Ground. Modernistic: Two teams with new looks meet up in the largest city. Snowball cranked out 454 for Swordpoint to open this game in much better form than her previous two games. Ms. Puppy got Modernistic very close with her 447, leaving this game to the rest of the rosters to decide. Dreamy faltered with 162 for the Blades, leaving them in a vulnerable position. Daisy managed to pull the Union ahead with 346, giving them the slightly uncomfortable lead. Bandit brought a bit more offense for Swordpoint, churning out 484 to pull them ahead again. Puff I posted 378 in response for Modernistic, retaining a small lead ahead of the final players. Stealth did his job pretty well with 346 for the Blades, giving them 1446 overall. Strawberry had only 183 for the Union, costing them the game as they lost on a total of 1354. Swordpoint is up to 2-1 as they head home, while Modernistic drops to 1-1.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills and Pirates meet up in the first of a home doubleheader for the Stills. Delila started with a reliable 361 for Atlantic, a decent opening effort. Easter kept Todavía within a close range, gathering 343 on her first turn. Isabella played even better for the Pirates, rallying for 497 to add nicely to their lead. Her aunt, Sierra, struggled with just 84 to add for the Stills, putting them far behind at this stage. Americus strengthened the Atlantic lead with 535 on her turn, making it far more secure. Sparkles provided a steady offense with 647 for Todavía, overcoming a chaotically cluttered pitch to produce such a score. Klaus struck 392 for the Pirates in a strong outing, giving them a final of 1785. Bells got beat on her backhand, ending her turn at 304 for the Stills, and the team ended at 1378 in the loss. Both teams move to 1-1.
Apple Park, Todavía: The second segment ends with the other half of the doubleheader, as the Stills bring in another Eastern Hills team in the Cascades. Jasmine pummeled 586 for Freedom to lead things off with a big advantage for the visitors. Easter came up weak in this game, taking just 21 for Todavía. Stinky got into a late groove that carried him to 463 for the Cascades. Sierra got beat on a bad touch that ended her turn with 33 total for the Stills, in what's become an embarrassing game. Roxy managed 266 for Freedom, but it wasn't her best effort. Sparkles made an effort to keep Todavía alive, tacking 576 to their score to show some sign of life. Nikolai replied with 433 for the Cascades, and they close the game at 1748 in what's expected to be a win. Bells belted 881 for the Stills in an impressive comeback effort, but this fell short at 1511. Freedom survives the late scare to go to 2-0, while Todavía falls to 1-2 after a disappoint pair of home games.
