Chevrolet Field, Everton: The Eagles look to extend their league lead in the standings at the start of a four-game home stand, facing their British derby rivals, the Prestige, who are finishing a four-game road trip. Acorn worked a slow build to open this game, but he made it work with a long-lasting turn, eventually fading out at 546 for Lighton. Goldy had only 32 for Everton, unable to overcome the cluttered pitch that faced her. Spirit didn't do a lot better for the Prestige, taking just 93 to add to their lead. Puff III answered with 730 for the Eagles, once again propping up their offense as they lead through half of the game. Twinkie I tapped 292 for Lighton on this turn, another weak road effort from the veteran. Kirstin bested that just slightly with her 304 for Everton, giving them a small lead as the final players come to bat. Salmo put in a good turn with 560 for the Prestige, setting their final at 1491 total. Blizzard answered with 471, more than enough to give the Eagles a win with 1537. Everton is now 10-1 on the year, while Lighton drops further to 5-8.
IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks' second ever home game is against the Spurs, who have two in a row on the road. Spice found a fairly fruitful groove to give Victoria 529 at the beginning of the game, a good performance from the captain. Peach stood tall against an onslaught of dangerous offerings against her in the early going, rising her play to 839 for North Modernistic as they take a strong lead. Yekaterina covered the deficit with 345 for the Spurs, but she didn't give them much room to maneuver beyond that. Luigi countered very well for the Nighthawks, bashing his way to 623 to extend their lead at the halfway mark. B. Chapman bailed from a fairly average turn at 304 for Victoria, leaving them at a noticeable deficit. Cheddar left North Modernistic a bit exposed with her 152, certainly within range of the visitors. Wario went on a rally with 681 for the Spurs, giving them a final of 1859, which will force a response from the hosts. Bright rose to the occasion with a quick 320 to give the Nighthawks the win at 1934. North Modernistic is up to 7-5, while Victoria sinks to 6-9.
FedEx Ground, Eastside: The Sharks debut their burnt orange look against the Flames after having the previous two weeks off, while their opponents are wrapping up a short two-game trip.

Paige followed up for the Flames with a massive 780, extending their lead significantly as the game approaches half-completion. Taylor was taken out by a split offering, which she misdirected out of bounds for 24 points as the Sharks fall far behind. Violetta tacked on another 447 for Queens on her turn, padding their lead nicely as they continue to cruise through the game. Niki cancelled that performance out with 449 for Eastside, but the deficit remains large with a player each to go. Max got beat by a deflection, taking only 164 to give the Flames 1919 overall. Paps fell with 171 for the Sharks, giving them 1080 in the loss. Queens is up to 9-8 with the win, while Eastside has yet to win in their new building, sitting at 3-10 overall with an 0-6 home record.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks get a single game at home as their busy schedule continues, hosting the Tradewinds in this one. Tigerette looked very much in form with 591 for Commerce at the start of this one, a good tone-setting play. Fluffina stumbled with 177 for Maplewood at the start, getting their game off to a sluggish start. Ice Cream responded with 385 for the Tradewinds on her turn, strengthening their lead with the performance. Diddley crashed from the high pace he's been setting recently, ending with just 41 on an ill-fated backwards his for the Lumberjacks as their situation becomes dire. Lionel chipped another 245 for Commerce in an acceptable outing. Bryant put on a rally for Maplewood, gathering up 663 to get them back into the fight late in the game. Lorde had a modest 211 for the Tradewinds, putting their final score at 1432, not yet safe.

Ms. Kitty pulled no punches for the Volcanoes, slugging 1323 to cement their lead in great form. Stinky was solid with 417 for the Cascades, but he was unable to make much of an impact on the large deficit. Leonette answered with 432 for Pacific, keeping their lead stable as the game enters its second half. Roxy couldn't pull a ball off of her backhand, ending any hopes for a Freedom comeback as she added a measly 40 to their offense. Chicky Phil had only 152 for the Volcanoes, but that's expected to be plenty as they close with 2614 overall. Nikolai managed 248 for the Cascades, sending them to the losing total of 889 for the game. Pacific's win takes them to 10-7, while Freedom exits a bye week with a loss to go to 5-5.
Verizon Field, Pacific: The Nighthawks have left home again, making the trip southwest to face a Volcanoes team that has traversed the whole map. Peach popped 641 for North Modernistic, giving them a very strong start to the game. Starlight crushed 1049 in response for Pacific, showing no ill effects from the heavy travel burden. Luigi just barely covered the deficit for the Nighthawks, taking 415 on his solid turn to keep them competitive.

Crystal couldn't find her swing at all, falling with a meager 41 in her first bad home game for Queens. Caitlin couldn't get the Waves on track at all, with her 129 adding only slightly to their unstable lead. Paige made it a very close game at the halfway mark with her 379 bringing the Flames to a hardly noticeable deficit. Celestia replied with 343 for Oceanside on her turn, giving them a better lead. Violetta poked 471 for Queens, giving them the lead late in the game, but either side could end up on top. Dewey produced a reasonable 432 for the Waves, putting them at 1200 even, which is not safe from a counterattack. Max blew it with 96 for the Flames, leaving them with 987 in the loss. Oceanside improves to 9-8, bumping Queens down to 9-9.
Ebay Center, Queens: The Sharks are on the road for the next two games, with their Burnt Orange look facing the Fireball Flames in their back half of a doubleheader. The Sharks are also looking to avenge a loss from earlier in the week. Chelsea did not mess around for Eastside, smashing 1055 to open the scoring very well for the offensively-challenged visitors. Crystal had another dud opening for Queens, taking just 21 this time as the result may already be determined. Taylor supplemented the Sharks offense with her own 483, giving them a very sturdy lead. Paige offered very little resistance for the Flames, taking a poor 135 as they appear set to lose again. Niki unleashed another 1154 for Eastside, practically guaranteeing their victory. Violetta chipped a mere 106 for Queens, with their hopes of a comeback extremely dim. Paps eased up with 169 for the Sharks, giving them a final score of 2861.

Twilight got beat by a high bounce after she had committed to a swing, ending on 206 for Central. Neopolitan added 327 for the Surfers, a reasonable performance from the veteran. Dustin made a dent in the deficit with 495 for the Warriors, bringing them within striking distance at the halfway mark. Boots faltered a bit at 298 for Pearl on her mandatory replay after a mess of a first attempt at her appearance that saw two technical errors in rapid succession.

Kiwi answered with a slump-breaking 512 for Terrace City, edging them ahead after the initial attacks. Jake let a good rhythm go to waste as he got greedy, ending at 96 for the Crowns with his wild big swing. Jennifer blasted 1399 on a massive turn, mixing pace and longevity in the best way to give the Knights an impressive lead.

Patches put an end to extended road issues with 573 for Boston to lead things off here, establishing a noticeable lead. Sydney didn't get much back with 192 for Harrison. Puff II pounded an extra 736 for the Swifts on her turn, extending their lead very nicely. Twinkie II twice went to her backhand to keep the turn going, but the Specters captain couldn't best her sister, taking 632 as the deficit grew only slightly. Gradley supplied 415 for Boston this time around, keeping their lead fairly steady as the game progresses into its later stages. Lexi fired back with 400 for Harrison, recovering most of the recent damage with her effort. Sweetheart tacked on 551 for the Swifts, icing their big game with 2275.
