The Intel Pitch, Diamond: The Gems have been busy so far this year, and they'll meet up with a much fresher Torpedoes side. Smudge faltered with 153 for Infinity, far from a solid start for the visitors. Smokey's home form remains extremely poor, as he had only 69 for Diamond in this appearance as well. Solaris bolstered the Torpedoes attack with 357 in a fairly solid turn for the rookie. Citrus couldn't get comfortable on the ball for the Gems, going with only 128 as they fall farther behind in this game. Whiskers added another 441 for Infinity, keeping them on the right track toward victory. Pedey scooped 500 for Diamond, bringing them to a bit more of a respectable level despite their team-wide struggles. Mr. Snowman clubbed 471 for the Torpedoes, giving them a final score of 1422. Rosalina did well for the Gems, as the rookie scored 490, but they took the loss with 1187. Infinity remains undefeated at 2-0, while Diamond slides to 1-3 with some serious issues at the top of the lineup.
HP Field, Midland: The Predators face a tough task against the high-powered Hummingbirds offense. Princess did better in this game than the season debut, compiling 399 for Tysini for a solid opening attack. Shawn kept Midland in range with a reasonable 344, a much better effort than he put forth in week 1. Leandra launched another 599 for the Hummingbirds, solidifying their lead quite nicely. Rainmane answered by hammering 624 for the Predators, cutting into the deficit to create a very close game at the midway mark. Charli slipped up at 239 for Tysini, leaving them vulnerable at this stage. Leonardo pounded 525 to pull Midland into the lead with a player each to go. Brownie made a big move with 494 for the Hummingbirds, putting them at 1731 overall and forcing a response from the hosts. Fuchsia covered the deficit with 370 for the Predators, sealing their win at 1863. Midland is 2-1, while Tysini is left shaking their heads at 0-2.
Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The Arrows and Spurs have a meeting of the minds in this game. The week has been fairly stagnant so far for play, as the league is not meeting its schedule well. Spice struggled in her opening attack in this game, taking 160 for Victoria after league officials tested the field. Sally made good use of her response, smacking 594 for Archtown for the early lead. Yekaterina covered the deficit with her 576 for the Spurs, a solid effort from the sophomore. Sleepy B. faltered with 176 for the Arrows, leaving them just slightly ahead at the halfway mark. B. Chapman picked up 199 for Victoria, keeping the game a bit tight. Ruby had her finest performance of the young season with 480 for Archtown, strengthening their lead late in the game. Wario's 375 for the Spurs forced a small response from their hosts, as the visitors close on 1310 overall. Dusky carried the Arrows to a win with 357 individually for a final score of 1607. Archtown improves to 2-2, while Victoria falls to 2-1 on the year.
Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: These two glamor franchises meet with the Eagles hoping to extend the Union's home woes. The venerable Everton captain Goldy made a good start for her side, scoring 512 with some crisp hits. Ms. Puppy proved able to shrug off some trouble, but a bad angle ended her contribution at 264 for Modernistic. Puff III muscled up for 714 points for the Eagles, extending their lead quite a bit. Daisy tried to get a bit showy at the end of her turn, and the rookie learned a lesson when it backfired to stall her at 424 for the Union. Kirstin took patience over pace for Everton, and she was rewarded with a hard-earned 473 to keep their lead in fine form. Puff I lost a bit more ground with only 416 for Modernistic, as their hopes begin to fade for this game. Blizzard had a poor outing with 127 for the Eagles, leaving them at 1826, which they'll have to hope stands up to one last test. Strawberry was unable to make an impact for the Union, with her 144 sealing their loss at 1248. Everton is 2-0 on the new season, looking to challenge for the title again, while Modernistic drops to 1-2 with another home loss.
Capital City SuperCenter, Capital City: The Spurs are back at it again, playing another road game in this Southwest Divisional against the Sharpshooters. It's the last game of the Spurs' opening road trip, and the third of four games in the Sharpshooters' home stand. The road has made Spice a bit weary, as she falls with 149 for Victoria to lead this game off. Chris whacked 610 in response for Capital City, giving them a substantial first lead. Yekaterina had a solid outing with her 320 for the Spurs, but they remain behind. Missy hammered another 883 for the Sharpshooters, leaving no doubt in their control of the game. B. Chapman couldn't get a lot of it back, but her 384 represents a good outing for Victoria. Sprinkles slipped with 115 for Capital City, but their lead remains solid. Wario managed 266 for the Spurs, resulting in them taking a loss on 1119 total. Nicole lined 466 for the Sharpshooters, finishing their win at 2074. Capital City is up to 2-1 for the season, while passing the now 2-2 Victoria.
HP Field, Midland: The first M-Line Derby of the year features the expansion Predators hosting the Lumberjacks in the latter's first game of the year. Fluffina looked shaky at times and this cost her points, as she posted 249 for Maplewood in her season debut. Shawn slipped up at 175 for Midland, leaving them a bit behind initially. Diddley tried to stay in front of the ball as much as he could, but he broke form and put up 271 for the Lumberjacks to boost their lead slightly. Rainmane continued her hot start to the year with 863 for the Predators, giving them a very stable lead at the midway point. Bryant looked similarly rusty as the rest of Maplewood, falling at 215 as their plight gets more severe. Leonardo had to deal with a cluttered pitch and struggled, ending at 72 for Midland to destabilize their lead. Lumberjacks rookie Waluigi had a weak start to his career, with only 60 points putting his team at a loss with 795. Predators rookie Fuchsia had a strong closing appearance, with her 391 lifting the Predators to 1501 in their big win over a well-established franchise. Midland is up to 3-1 on the year as the premier new franchise so far, while Maplewood will begin from 0-1.
Capital City SuperCenter, Capital City: The Sharpshooters will embark on a road trip after meeting the Nighthawks in their second game of ten straight on the road. Peach came down from her lofty career debut, but her 535 for North Modernistic still sends a strong message. Chris stayed steady for Capital City, pulling them ahead with his big 552 from the lead off position. Luigi struggled with pace at first, but rallied his way back to 405 for the Nighthawks in a strong second attack. Missy kept it close, but the Sharpshooters fell behind a bit when she submitted 365 as her score. Cheddar showed some veteran savvy to extend her turn with a save, eventually finishing it off at 551 for North Modernistic to pad their lead nicely. Sprinkles kept the exchange fairly even, slicing her way to 586 for Capital City as it'll come down to the final players in this one. Bright left the Nighthawks a bit vulnerable with his 281, ending their offense at 1772. Nicole stepped up with just enough for the Sharpshooters, posting 311 to give them the win on 1814. Capital City is 3-1 now, while North Modernistic's first loss takes them to 1-1.
HP Field, Midland: The Predators continue their seven-game home stand while the Stills enter the first game of a road doubleheader. Easter looked comfortable from the start for Todavía, posting 424 for them. Shawn answered with 480 for Midland as he finally appears to be getting comfortable with his new team. Sierra had a very strong counter for the Stills, churning out 547 to regain the lead in stronger form. Rainmane erased that deficit with her 557 for the Predators, keeping the pace of the game quite high halfway through. Sparkles scored 280 for Todavía in this appearance, covering the deficit but not by much. Leonardo got tangled up while trying to make an impact against his former team, and this proved detrimental to Midland, as his 173 sees them fall behind with a player each to go. Bells may have choked it away for the Stills, hitting a meager 49 to put them at 1300 even. Fuchsia did more than enough in a cautious outing, hitting 257 to ice the Predators' fourth straight home win at 1467. Midland is now 4-1, while Todavía drops to 1-3.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: The Stills return to the west for a Coastal Division game with the undefeated Surfers. Easter looked even better this time out, clobbering 695 for Todavía to pressure the high-octane opposition early on. Pearl's Watermelon struggled with the task of catching up, scoring just 160 for the hosts. Sierra tacked on 274 for the Stills to keep their lead fairly strong. Neopolitan dug into the deficit a bit, racking up 457 for the Surfers to pull them closer at the halfway mark. Sparkles put Todavía in a vulnerable position with her measly 6 points. Boots capitalized on the opening with 401 for Pearl, giving them a late lead. Bells went out on a swing and miss, but only after collecting 393 for the Stills, forcing a response from the hosts as the Stills finish on 1368. Wings did all he could for the Surfers, but his 345 left them just five points shy of even, and they've lost with 1363. Todavía gets a critical division win to get back to 2-3, while Pearl is down to 3-1 after the heartbreaking home loss ends their undefeated run.
Home Depot Forum, Web City: It's the Volcanoes turn to be the Coastal team playing on the road twice in a row, facing a Spiders team in desperate search of their first win. Starlight produced a solid 343 for Pacific in the opening attack from the visitors. Shadow had an inexplicable swing and miss to cut his turn short at 147 for Web City, setting them up to play from behind once again. Ms. Kitty slugged a massive 829 for the Volcanoes, solidifying their lead quite early against their hapless hosts. Ted clubbed 752 for the Spiders in response, keeping them somewhat in the game. Leonette may have opened the door a bit, as she faltered with 215 for Pacific. Shiny gained grounded with 355 for Web City, including a clever flip to the back 6s to keep her turn alive early on in the process. Chicky Phil closed well with 472 for the Volcanoes, giving them a total of 1859 that should stand for a win. Dani poked 246 for the Spiders, sending them to a loss with 1500 even. Pacific improves to 3-2 as they continue a seven-game road trip, while Web City is 0-4 before heading out on a six-game trip themselves.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: The Spurs make their home opener against the traveling Volcanoes, who may be a bit weary for this game. Starlight wasted no time in establishing the Pacific attack as a strong one, pounding 511 points in the opening turn. Spice came back even better with 614 for Victoria, getting their home schedule off to a nice start. Ms. Kitty had a bit of a choppy turn, ending with her posting a weak 81 for the Volcanoes as they slip behind. Yekaterina didn't make the most graceful finish, but her 417 keeps the Spurs in control of the game at the halfway mark. Leonette managed 281 for Pacific, a decent score, but not enough to cover the deficit. B. Chapman destabilized the Victoria lead, hitting only 80 points on her turn as they become a bit vulnerable. Chicky Phil hit 253 for the Volcanoes, giving them 1126 and forcing a small response out of the hosts. Wario literally spiked his way to 348 for the Spurs, doing more than enough to secure their win at a final of 1459 with the bold performance. Victoria is up to 3-2 now, passing the 3-3 Pacific squad they just dispatched.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns get their season started just as this segment comes to an end, and they'll host a low-expectations Meteors team that's on the road for the first time this year. Mams salvaged a good effort out of a near-mess, clearing three balls at once to score 401 later on for Viewpoint Sound. Nightfur had a bit a of poor game, taking just 66 for Royal in this appearance as they'll play from behind. Hoot added another 400 for the Meteors in his appearance, strengthening their lead. Jake suffered an unlucky deflection that ended his offense at 88 for the Crowns, making this a very bad season debut so far. Nibbles had a very messy pitch for Viewpoint Sound, and he was able to produce only 153 from it. Royal got a bit more involved in the game when their free-agent acquisition Kayla slammed 684 to make it a close game with the final players left to bat. Dominic tallied 249 to bring the Meteors to 1203 total. Hannah carried Royal to victory with 459 in her career debut, giving the Crowns 1297 overall. Royal is 1-0 on the year, while Viewpoint Sound slides to 1-2.
That's all for this segment. An update: I have redoubled my efforts in Reconstructing documents that were lost in the data loss issue in August. Three months in, and I am comfortable with saying that approximately 70% of the work is done. However, most of this has come in the last four weeks or so, and I expect to finish the work by the end of the month. Once that is complete, UPCL cricket should return to an appropriate pace, which I look forward to starting very soon.
