Shawn couldn't produce an answer for Midland, getting juked by a quick offering that sat him down with 115. Goatee answered with 306 for the Rockers, an iffy performance that will pad their lead slightly.

UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks and Volcanoes meet for what should be a close game between positive-points teams. Starlight did alright for Pacific on her turn, ending a bit early on a deflection, which gave the visitors 345 to start with.

Royal's Nightfur started with incredible pace, but fell at 218 when she lifted a ball too high, and the hosts will start from behind. Dreamy did enough for the whole team in a massive turn, combining pace and longevity to blast 2212 for the Blades, essentially guaranteeing a win in this game. Jake had no answer for that performance, crashing out at 51 for the Crowns to deepen the damage. Bandit acknowledged little need to perform well, taking a meager 96 for Swordpoint as a small supplement to the lead.

Swordpoint's massive win carries them to 13-7, while Royal's fifth straight home loss puts them at 6-12.
