Sierra pulled the Stills back in the game, slicing 719 on her turn to easily cover the deficit for the visitors. Missy fired back with 592 for the Sharpshooters, keeping them in control of the game at its halfway point. Sparkles was too aggressive for Todavía, skying a ball to end with only 84 points in her turn. Sprinkles carved out another 642 for the Sharpshooters, almost assuring them of a victory at this stage. Bells went on a rally with 679 for the Stills, but they fell short at 1518 total, taking the loss. Nicole tapped 192 for the Sharpshooters, giving them 1849 in the win. Capital City jumps to 6-5, while Todavía is 8-9, but will rest for the remainder of the week.

Central is up to 5-2 for the year, while Freedom falls to 3-3.
McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Lumberjacks embark on a three-game trip against the very rested Pirates in this meeting. Maplewood's Fluffina got victimized by a bad bounce in her appearance, taking only 138 for the turn. Delila lifted 608 for Atlantic, giving them a sizeable lead at the start of the game. Diddley had a lot of pace on his backhand, but it couldn't sink fast enough, and he was out at 220 for the Lumberjacks. Isabella couldn't wrangle a tough bounce for the Pirates, and she added 543 to their lead, a satisfying effort from the rookie. Bryant broke his recent road slump, but his 322 is far from enough to be helpful for a far-back Maplewood side. Americus couldn't stop a fast-paced offering, which claimed her wicket and sent her packing with 192 for Atlantic. Waluigi was too eager for the Lumberjacks, ending up with a pathetic 36 as he was out in quick time, and they suffered the loss with 716. Klaus provided 312 for the Pirates, icing their victorious offensive effort at 1655. Atlantic improves to 4-1 on the year, while Maplewood is down to 10-5, and will take some time off before their next game.

Snowball drilled 793 for Swordpoint, staking out a significant advantage for the visitors from the first attack. Chelsea had another weakened home output, posting 186 for Eastside as they'll play from the familiar behind position. Dreamy tacked on another 417 for the Blades in her turn, keeping their lead solid. Despite her tall frame, Taylor couldn't reach back and grab a ball from in front of the wicket, ending with 533 for the Sharks as they make up a bit of ground at the halfway mark. Swordpoint rookie Bandit did well in his turn, collecting 538 to add nicely to their lead. Niki faltered with 184 for Eastside, likely preventing any instances of a comeback now.

Amazon Field, Golden: The Pilots get only their second home game, as the Pirates make a one-game jaunt down south. Delila didn't have the greatest opening attack, assembling only 232 for Atlantic to lead things off. Valencia countered with 531 for Golden to begin the hosts' attack, giving them a noticeable lead. Isabella had a backhand flip during her turn, and she carried the momentum from that to 392 for the Pirates, covering the deficit for now.

The Intel Pitch, Diamond: If the Eagles can win this one-off road game in the Hills, they'll remain atop the league for another week. Goldy got Everton off to a wonderful start, slugging 1144 on the opening turn. Smokey replied with 384 for Diamond, a reasonable effort to cut into the deficit a bit. Puff III pummeled another 581 for the Eagles, working at a ridiculous pace to extend their lead. Citrus answered with a nearly equivalent 596 for the Gems, a good performance but not enough to make progress in beating the deficit down. Kirstin scooped another 690 for Everton, keeping them firmly in control of the game with a massive lead. Pedey couldn't match the pace for Diamond, bailing at 193 as it appears the hosts have been overwhelmed in this game. Blizzard added 378 individually for the Eagles, bringing their total to 2793 in what should be a pretty convincing win. Rosalina couldn't provide much of an answer for the Gems, ending with 20 as she accidentally flipped a ball onto her wicket. Everton remains perfect at 8-0, while Diamond is bumped down to 4-5 after a tough game.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: A rematch of week 3's final game is here, with the Rockers in the second of five straight road games, looking for a sweep against the Prestige.

Microsoft Pitch, Del Sur: The Monarchs continue their six-game home stand against the Arrows, who are embarking on a six-game road trip. Sally slapped a quick 510 for Archtown to begin the game in good form. Panda made some challenging plays for Southern, including multiple reaching saves as he swung his way to 431, keeping the hosts in the game early on. Sleepy B. was done in by a high-arcing ball, cutting her down at 32 points for the Arrows. Hoppy sent the Monarchs into a firm lead with 608 on her turn, and they'll hope the second half of the game is just as kind as the first.

Twinkie II fired back with 480 for the Specters, maintaining their lead quite efficiently.

Nike Field, Commerce: Another match between struggling teams sees the Sharks return to the road for a pair of games, against the Tradewinds as they open a three-game home stand.

Ice Cream put a bit of a dent in the deficit with her 407, but the Tradewinds remain significantly behind halfway through the game.

Lionel went deep with 616 for Commerce, covering the deficit late in the game as the hosts have gained control.

Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores hope to keep the Waves from crashing on them in this Aquatic Derby match. Snuggle had a solid performance for Oceanside, collecting 479 to stake out a lead with. Bear did not buckle in his turn, but a bad swing after a tough bounce stalled him at 465, keeping Whitewater very close in the early going. Caitlin couldn't handle the bounces for the Waves, taking only 48 as they are in trouble at this point. Twinkie III did her part for the Shores, poking her way to 410 to give them the lead halfway through the game.

Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: This is a battle of strengths to end this segment, as the Blades are undefeated at home and opposing the Swifts, an elite road team with home struggles. Patches stumbled at the start of the game, taking only 54 for Boston as they are probably playing from behind. Snowball slugged 1182 in response for Swordpoint, establishing a potentially already untouchable lead. Puff II cut back with 542 for the Swifts, trying to keep them in the game against long odds for doing so. Dreamy left an opening when she had only 42 for the Blades, but they are still far ahead at the midway mark. Gradley made some progress with 400 for Boston, getting them a bit closer in a race against time more than anything else. Swordpoint's Bandit cancelled it out exactly with 400 of his own, a good showing from the rookie to keep the game at status quo. Sweetheart couldn't perform a rally, taking 200 for the Swifts and giving them a loss with 1196. Stealth tallied 463 for the Blades, icing their win at 2087.
