Chevrolet Field, Everton: The Eagles play a Northeast Division rival, the struggling Spiders, as the Eagles try to stay undefeated. Shadow started the week with a bang, smashing 1165 for Web City to establish a significant lead early in the game. Goldy seemed to start well, but her bat position slipped and she managed just 112 for Everton at the start. The long layoff for the Spiders didn't do Ted any favors, as his road numbers are still bad after hitting 82 in this game, a weak outing for the rookie. Puff III slugged 1763 to bring the momentum in favor of the Eagles as they now hold a sizeable lead at the midway point. Shiny found the yet-unexplored middle-ground, grinding out 492 for Web City to cut the deficit down a bit. Kirstin drilled another 770 for Everton, extending their lead late in the high-scoring game. Dani swatted 528 more for the Spiders, but they couldn't keep up and lost with 2267. Blizzard kept it simple with 111 for the Eagles, icing their win at 2756. Everton is now 7-0 on the year, pacing themselves to another hot start, while Web City drops to 1-6 with the divisional loss.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Shores leave home well-rested for the first time this year, while the Swifts are about to have a hectic back-and-forth schedule beginning with this home game. Bear poked 239 for Whitewater at the start of this game. Patches took a swing too high a bit too early, as she had only 208 for Boston, putting them slightly behind at first. Twinkie III suffered a similar fate, taking a measly 48 for the Shores as this game features significantly less scoring than the first one of the week. Puff II broke the curse in the game, belting 1755 for the Swifts to give them a massive lead halfway through the game. Marsell charged back with 623 for Whitewater, but they remain far behind. Gradley softened the blow a bit for Boston, picking up 439 to keep their lead firmly intact. Shaggy had only 16 points for the Shores, giving them the loss with 926. Sweetheart put an exclamation point on the Swifts win, knocking 879 more to give them a final of 3281 for their first home win. Boston is still working off their championship hangover at 5-5, while Whitewater is 1-3.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds make a quick stop at home to face a Lumberjacks team preparing for a week that could see fatigue set in. Fluffina spiked 870 for Maplewood, twice going to the backhand to prolong her appearance. Princess did okay in her turn, scoring 287 for Tysini in an unimpressive but solid performance. Diddley stumbled at 108 for the Lumberjacks, leaving them a bit vulnerable after the poor outing from the veteran. Leandra cut into the deficit for the Hummingbirds, collecting 499 on her turn to tighten the game at its midway point. Bryant further weakened Maplewood's lead, taking only 96 as he swung too aggressively on the last offering he saw. Charli earned a controversial false start replay, and cashed in with 378 on the second try, putting Tysini in the lead late in the game. Waluigi had 331 for the Lumberjacks, putting them at 1405 overall, which will require a response from the hosts. Brownie was partially bailed out by a technical error replay, but hit a meager 129 the next time out and left the Hummingbirds at a loss with 1293 total. Maplewood makes the jump to 8-4 on the year, while Tysini is down to 2-8 with no sign of a comeback in them.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: Fresh off their loss, the Hummingbirds make a short jaunt to face the Spurs, who are coming off a bye week. The Spurs are ending a four-game home stand, while the Hummingbirds commence a three-game road trip. Princess was solid in this appearance, scoring 320 for Tysini to begin the game. Spice's home struggles persisted in this game, as she put up only 106 for Victoria, giving them an early deficit. Leandra added a crisp 457 for the Hummingbirds, padding their lead a bit in the process. Yekaterina sliced 663 for the Spurs, getting them very close at the halfway point, but not quite nosing them ahead. Charli slapped 641 for Tysini, restoring a significant lead for the visitors. B. Chapman kept Victoria in range, tallying 463, but they'll play from a deficit as the final players come to bat. Brownie once again put the Hummingbirds in a precarious position, with her 138 leaving them vulnerable at 1556 total. Wario posted 319 for the Spurs, but it was too little for them, and they lost with 1551. Tysini escapes with a division win to go to 3-8, while Victoria drops to 3-5 in the loss.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: Two of the league's best this year tangle, with the Rockers embarking on a five-game road trip against the Torpedoes in a one-off at home for them. Misty provided a very solid start for Westside in this game, pounding 631 to stake out a lead. Smudge faltered on her turn, floating her hits back, which messed with her pace and gave her 192 for Infinity's starting attack. Goatee got twisted by a high-arcing ball that found safety, but she wasn't set for the next one, taking a meager 73 for the Rockers. Solaris pulled the Torpedoes into the lead at the halfway mark, slamming 807 on his fantastic turn. Midnight cranked out 1043 for Westside to regain a strong lead for them. Whiskers rallied for 536 for Infinity, keeping them in range as the final players step up to bat. Slinks continued to decline, taking just 66 for the Rockers, which gives them a final of 1813, far from safe in a high-scoring game. Mr. Snowman did enough to steal the win away for the Torpedoes, batting 298 to give them 1833 for the narrow margin of victory. The teams are now tied with a 7-2 record.
Subway Field, Stonebridge: The Torpedoes immediately jet out to the far northeast, facing a Wolves team starting to find its identity. Smudge took an unlucky deflection in this appearance, ending on 248 for Infinity to start off with. Juno drilled 760 for Stonebridge, giving them the initial lead with a very confident performance from the captain. Solaris got 336 back for the Torpedoes, but they remain behind as the quick turnaround is giving them trouble. Frosty countered that with 385 for the Wolves, maintaining their lead effectively at the halfway point. Whiskers poked 312 more for Infinity, but they are still facing a similar deficit as before. Cobalt had only 112 for Stonebridge, providing a bit of an opening for the visitors with a player each to go. Mr. Snowman fell short with 209 for the Torpedoes, giving them a final of 1105 in the loss. Prism struggled with a cluttered pitch, ending at just 269 for the Wolves, but they sealed the win at 1558. Stonebridge is even on the year at 6-6, while Infinity is 7-3.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks return home for a pair of games, where they are undefeated, facing a middling Flames team on the road for their next two games. Crystal had a bad game for Queens, taking only 180 to open this match. Fluffina fired back with 640 for Maplewood, showing no signs of fatigue despite her team's heavy schedule recently. Paige couldn't produce a meaningful counter for the Flames, taking just 128 as their deficit grows deeper. Diddley collapsed at 48 for the Lumberjacks, weakening their lead halfway through the game.

Waluigi tapped just 99 to give the Lumberjacks 1197 in their least confident home win of the year. Maplewood is up to 9-4 on the season, while Queens slides to 4-5.
Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores are back at home for two games, facing a still-winless Specters side in the midst of a five-game road trip. Sydney couldn't pick her bat up off a ball she had nearly saved, ending with 79 as she bumped it into her own wicket, a poor start for Harrison. Bear smacked 694 for Whitewater in response, giving the hosts a very strong lead to begin the game. Twinkie II also took out her own wicket this time, ending with a pathetic 30 points for the Specters. Twinkie III was hardly better, posting a meager 81 for the Shores as the teams appear out of rhythm. Lexi stumbled at 36 for Harrison, giving them virtually no hope of a comeback for this game. Marsell got Whitewater back on track with 504 in his turn, securing their lead a bit more in a prospective win. Sugar saved a bit of face for the Specters with her 457, bringing them to 602 in a brutal loss. Shaggy iced the Shores' win with a poor individual 63 to give them 1342 overall.

Ted made a backhand save smoothly for the Spiders, and he rode the momentum of his big play to 788, easily covering the deficit. Solaris slipped up at 273 for the Torpedoes, and they'll see themselves trailing at the halfway mark. Shiny tacked on another 571 for Web City in her turn, strengthening their lead. Whiskers grabbed 343 for Infinity, but they still need more and have very little time to get it. Dani proved sturdy for the Spiders, adding 425 to their offense to give them 2018 total. Mr. Snowman couldn't adjust to a ball that flew at him at a fast pace, ending with 362 and sending the Torpedoes to an upset loss at 1581. Web City has finally been rewarded, going to 2-6 with the win, while Infinity drops to 7-4.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades look to continue their strong start to the year as they host the middling Flames.

Snowball bashed her way to 551 for Swordpoint, establishing the early lead in favor of the hosts. Paige kept the Flames in the game with her 581 for the visitors, a solid outing for the star of the team. Dreamy fired back with a sharp 731 for the Blades, giving them a larger lead halfway through the game. Violetta provided 457 for Queens in another solid game from their rookie. Bandit didn't quite cover that damage, but his 389 sufficed to keep Swordpoint distinctly in the lead late in the game. Max made the comeback rally for the Flames, gathering 578 to give them 1751 total, forcing a response from the hosts. Stealth had no trouble meeting the challenge, flicking 585 to put the Blades at 2256 in the win. Swordpoint moves up to 6-1 for the year, while Queens drops to 4-6.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks have their last game before a road trip, while the Prestige will be back at home after this meeting between talented teams. Acorn spiked 566 for Lighton to lead things off. Fluffina got stymied at 16 points for Maplewood, a shocking knockdown for the captain. Spirit didn't gain a lot of new traction for the Prestige, taking only 215 on her turn to keep the lead fairly steady. Diddley made it a close game against with 743 for the Lumberjacks, making it anyone's game halfway through. Twinkie I accidentally backhanded a ball into her wicket, ending with 78 for Lighton as their lead has become quite vulnerable. Bryant continued contributing reliably for Maplewood, driving his way to 519 to give them a late lead with a player each to go. Salmo produced 368 for the Prestige, a solid effort but not enough to keep them from taking a loss with 1227 total.

Maplewood is the first team to 10 wins, at 10-4, while Lighton slides to 4-3 with the loss. Their rematch comes in segment three of this week
Apple Park, Todavía: Two very busy teams clash on the coast, with the Stills ending a four game home stand while the Predators play in the second of two road games in a row. Shawn cranked out 714 for Midland at the start of the game, playing at a blistering pace. Easter replied with as much ferocity, but not as much longevity, producing 467 for Todavía to start off the game slightly behind. Rainmane couldn't manage a high pace, batting 287 for the Predators to pad their lead a little bit. Sierra put in no challenge on the ball that bounced over her bat, and it ended her turn at 241 for the Stills, making the deficit a bit worse. Leonardo deftly handled a series of crazy deflections as his swings bounced into the next offerings, and he navigated his way to 458 for Midland against his former team. Sparkles answered with 448 for Todavía, keeping them somewhat in range. Fuchsia managed only 160 for the Predators, leaving them slightly vulnerable at 1619 overall. Bells couldn't snag the game for the Stills, scoring 416 to give them 1572 in the narrow loss. Midland improves to 7-6, while Todavía dips back to an even 8-8, not bad given the excessively tough schedule for them.
I hope to play the rest of the week over this weekend, but it's been difficult to carve out time for the cricket action.
