GE Stadium, Southridge: The Navy Blue Derby, a battle across the Intercity highway between two big-name teams. Chris started with a modest 283 for Capital City, another somewhat low effort on the road from the team captain. Bianca answered with 458 for Southridge, giving them the initial lead against an always-dangerous opponent. Missy had some struggles with swinging too aggressively, but the Sharpshooters star recovered to take 384 and make the game interesting. Debby collapsed at 176 for the Defenders, leaving them a hair behind at the halfway mark of the game. Sprinkles appeared to find her sweet spot again, hammering 717 for Capital City to pad the lead. Stephanie froze under pressure for Southridge, as the rookie couldn't play a ball off the bounce and ended on 365 when the next offering wiped out her wicket, keeping the team in trouble. Nicole supplemented the Sharpshooters attack with 524 individually for 1908 overall, giving them a likely victory. Hughbert picked up 240 for the Defenders, and they lost with 1239 in total. Capital City jumps to 4-2 with the rivalry win, while Southridge is down to 2-5 after another lackluster effort.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts return home for the first of two such games, while the Arrows are finishing a four-game road trip in the Southeast. Sally slapped a quick 810 for Archtown to lead the game off, putting pressure on the hosts from the start. Patches made a dent in the deficit with 593 for Boston in response, setting a high-offense tone for the game. Sleepy B. had trouble maintaining the pace for the Arrows, taking 324 on her turn. Puff II carved deeper with 550 for the Swifts, making the game very close between the teams at its halfway point. Ruby regained a large lead for Archtown with 800 on her turn, continuing to frustrate the hosts. Gradley broke free of his home struggles to smash 965 for Boston, pulling them ahead once again with a player each to go. Dusky refused to go down without a fight, launching 856 to give the Arrows 2790 as their final score. Sweetheart had a solid outing with 416 for the Swifts, but they lost with 2524. Boston's home struggles continue to plague them, pushing their record to 3-3, while Archtown is also now even at 4-4.
Capital City SuperCenter, Capital City: The Sharpshooters are back home for a quick game against the Waves, who embark on a fast-paced three-game road trip. Snuggle couldn't keep control of his hits and fell with only 155 for Oceanside. Chris had a much different outing, lining 777 for Capital City to establish a wonderful lead. Caitlin fumbled her turn with only 67 for the Waves, making the hopes of a comeback much dimmer. Missy did alright for the Sharpshooters, shrugging her way to 200 points to keep the lead steady. Celestia got some back for Oceanside, snagging 287 in a mildly effective turn, but nothing game-changing for the rookie. Sprinkles went big with 791 for Capital City, likely securing the win with such a strong offensive output. Dewey tried to make a spike-save, but he was a split-second too late, and ended on 297, giving the Waves a loss with 806 in total. Nicole added 336 for the Sharpshooters, icing their win at 2104 in the dominant game. Capital City improves to 5-2 now, while Oceanside drops to 3-3.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills end their four-game home stand in this Coastal divisional, while the Volcanoes are on the road for the fifth of seven games in a row. Starlight had an early ending to her turn, scoring 264 as she hit a ball a bit too high. Easter showed a bit of fatigue for Todavía, claiming only 176 for the hosts on her turn as the game starts with low offense. Ms. Kitty had a bad appearance, taking a measly 117 for the Volcanoes, making this a very tight game so far. Sierra cranked out 793 to bust the game open favorably for the Stills, establishing quite a lead for them with the effort. Leonette fired back with 747 for Pacific, covering the deficit by a slim margin. Sparkles had a dud for Todavía, taking a meager 96 after a bad bounce caught her out of position, and they'll have to come from behind if they want this game. Chicky Phil tacked on 285 to put the Volcanoes at 1413 overall, still within reach of the hosts on their last turn. Bells proved strong enough for the Stills, rallying with 591 to snag the win for the team on a total of 1656. Todavía goes to 5-4 on the year, and 2-0 in the division, while Pacific is 4-4 with a division record of 0-1.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks are looking for revenge against the Defenders, who beat them earlier in the season back in Southridge. Bianca got Southridge off to a spectacular start, hammering 535 on her opening turn to establish the lead. Fluffina answered with 447 for Maplewood, keeping the game close at the start. Debby lost a bit of ground for the Defenders, accidentally striking a ball into her own wicket to end her turn at 290. Diddley recovered the deficit with 639 for the Lumberjacks, giving them the lead at the halfway mark of the game. Stephanie grabbed 392 for Southridge, covering the deficit but not by much against the hard-charging hosts. Bryant's 217 for Maplewood weakened their lead ahead of the final players' turns. Hughbert choked at the end, scoring a measly 39 to give the Defenders 1256 in the loss. Waluigi went for 551 for the Lumberjacks, icing their win at 1854 in total. Maplewood improves to 2-2, while Southridge's busy schedule has seen them go 2-6.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: Out west, the Spurs challenge a traveling Waves team, with both teams looking to nose their way above .500. Snuggle managed a paltry 225 for Oceanside to begin the game with, which probably won't hold up for very long. Spice had a weak 66 for Victoria, meaning both captains suffered poor outings in this game. Caitlin got stopped with an unfortunate bounce, cutting her off at 239 for the Waves as they maintain a very tenuous lead. Yekaterina hauled in 405 for the Spurs, giving them the slightest lead at the midway point of the game. Celestia gave Oceanside a bit of a boost in their output, poking 368 to put them ahead for now. B. Chapman matched it exactly with 368 of her own for Victoria, leaving them teams separated by just seven points with a player each to go. Dewey put the team on his back with 903 for the Waves, as the rookie carried them to a final score of 1735 and quite the challenge for his opposite to match. Wario made a good effort to meet the challenge, but fell short with 536, giving the Spurs only 1375 in the loss. Oceanside's win sees them to 4-3, dumping Victoria to 3-4 in the process.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: A Southeast divisional game awaits here as the stumbling Swifts are home again to face the Flames, who head out on a short road trip. Crystal was locked in from the start, pounding 904 for Queens as she routinely hit her target spot on the field with powerful swings. Patches replied with a massive 1058 for Boston, giving them the lead in a high-octane start to the game. Paige chipped 240 for the Flames, covering the deficit but leaving them highly vulnerable long-term. Puff II was neutralized with multiple unlucky bounces ending her turn very early with only 28 points added to the Swifts' score. Violetta countered with 570 for Queens, keeping them in strong control of the game with her emphatic effort. Gradley missed a backhand attempt for Boston to end with 304, leaving plenty of work for the hosts to get back into the game. Max didn't ice the game well at all, hitting 133 to give the Flames a final of 1847, very much in range of being surpassed. Sweetheart was unable to recover with an errant backhand hit giving her 48, and leaving the Swifts short at 1438. Queens jumps to 3-3, while Boston's winless start at home has them at 3-4.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Waves end their road trip against a very strong Torpedoes team looking to overcome their first loss of the year as they finish a three-game home stand. Snuggle had a far too aggressive swing to end his turn very early, scoring just 21 for Oceanside. Smudge clubbed 627 for Infinity, giving them a very large lead initially. Caitlin struggled a bit on her turn as well, scoring 247 as the Waves continue to lack offense consistently. Solaris countered with 391 for the Torpedoes, adding a sufficient amount to their lead. Celestia staved off danger to pile up 481 for Oceanside, but they are still trailing in the game. Whiskers was nearly overwhelmed on her turn, but settled a ball with a couple of backhand taps and lasted to score 270 to keep Infinity in control. Dewey failed to recapture the magic from his last game, taking just 185 as the Waves lost with 934. Mr. Snowman iced the Torpedoes win with an individual 312 for a total of 1600 even. Infinity is 5-1 on the year, while Oceanside's road trip was cruel to them, sending them down to 4-4.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns end their opening home stand against a Union team in the middle of three straight road games. Ms. Puppy carved up the hosts' bowling to the tune of 550 for Modernistic to open the game. Nightfur's pitifully slow start to the season continued with just 28 for Royal in this appearance. Daisy flicked 257 for the Union, keeping them well ahead in the game. Jake picked up 328 for the Crowns, gaining a little bit of ground at the halfway mark despite a still-steep deficit. Puff I tapped 313 for Modernistic, basically cancelling out the previous counterattack. Kayla continued to be the engine for Royal, stunning the visiting team as she drilled 1603 to pull the hosts far ahead late in the game. Strawberry put up a good fight with 472 for the Union, but they would ultimately fall with a total of 1592. Hannah provided 375 for the Crowns, giving them a final of 2334 in a thorough win. Royal can thank Kayla for making the impact this time, sending them to 2-1 on the year, while Modernistic falls to 1-4 as the new pieces of the team fail to click together well.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds kick off their initial home stand of the year, a five-game stint, against the Flames, who are ending their short road trip. Crystal went off again for Queens, collecting 743 to stake out another strong lead at the start of this game. Princess got a large portion of that attack back, smacking 614 for Tysini on her turn to keep things close at the start. Paige answered with 373 to re-up the Flames lead in a fairly solid outing for the veteran. Leandra didn't have a good pace to her turn, and this cost her when she ended at 256, allowing the deficit to grow a bit more for the Hummingbirds. Violetta swatted another 600 for Queens, as the rookie's hot start has helped solidify another lead. Charli flubbed her turn with 248 for Tysini, likely dooming them to another loss early in the year. Max served another 666 for the Flames, icing their prospective win at 2382. Brownie went with 535 for the Hummingbirds, playing well despite their loss at a total of 1653. Queens continues to play fairly well at 4-3, while Tysini's struggles are becoming well-documented with their fall to 1-3.
Starbucks Cup, Archtown: These two Northeastern rivals square off in a division game to get a boost up the standings. Fluffina broke out of her road slump to slam 705 for Maplewood at the start of this game, a good attack from the captain. Sally got beat by a couple of bounces on her turn for Archtown, ending with 257 as the hosts will play from behind. Diddley rocked another 696 for the Lumberjacks, as they begin to run away with this game. Sleepy B. is continuing to struggle at home, taking only 113 as the Arrows appear overwhelmed this game. Bryant picked up 359 for Maplewood, padding their lead nicely as they continue to dominate this battle. Ruby faltered with 204 for Archtown, making a comeback even more unlikely. Waluigi was far from graceful in scoring 132 for the Lumberjacks, but his input gave them a final of 1892 in what should be a fairly certain victory. Dusky's 416 helped the Arrows look slightly more respectable in the loss, in which they finished with 990. Maplewood's first division win of the year takes them to 3-2, while Archtown is 4-5 with an 0-2 division record.
Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The segment ends with the Warriors squaring off with a struggling Union team that's deep in their travels. Ms. Puppy started the game with 353 for Modernistic, a solid outing for the captain. Twilight slugged 1173 for Central to give them a massive lead in their home opener. Daisy swung for 319 for the Union, recovering some of the offense that they lost previously. Dustin kept the Warriors in good shape, supplementing their lead with a modest 271 to keep things steady at the halfway mark. Puff I sliced a fairly solid 385 for Modernistic, keeping them in the hunt for the game but still unable to cover the deficit. Mario countered with 328 for Central, sustaining their lead once again. Strawberry had only 149 for the Union, and they lost with 1206 against a potent offense from the hosts. Gizmo iced the game with a weak 90 himself for 1862 in total, sending the Warriors to an unchallenged win. Central is 3-0 so far, while Modernistic falls to 1-5.
I'd love to finish the week by tomorrow, but we'll see how the rest of the games get played.
