FedEx Ground, Eastside: The Sharks are still trying for their first home win, going against the Surfers in their third of a four-game road trip. Watermelon had a slow start with 118 for Pearl, putting them in a dangerous spot immediately. Chelsea probably should have gotten a bit more than 224 for Eastside, as they hold a small lead initially. Neopolitan saw a ball get caught behind her bat as she went to her wind-up, and she took herself out at 496 for the Surfers, a much better second effort.

GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders return home to kick off a four-game home stand, while the Volcanoes have a doubleheader on the road beginning in this game. Starlight had her eyes on a potential record-setting effort, but couldn't keep her form, ending with an unbelievable 2741 that saw her pulled out a backhand to keep the turn going for Pacific. Bianca melted under pressure trying to follow that up, ending on 192 for Southridge, a side very familiar with being on the wrong end of big performances. Ms. Kitty added 1170, a great effort in its own right, to the Volcanoes score, putting them on the brink of a lofty mark. Debby had a respectable 378 for the Defenders, who will have to play out the game with no hope of a comeback.

Puff I made up a lot of ground with 719 for Modernistic, giving them a chance with a player each to go. Chicky Phil left the Volcanoes exposed after hitting a meager 80, giving them 2026 overall.

Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds face a tough test against a rested Flames team as both battle for league position. Crystal opened with 281 for Queens, not the best result from their captain in what's expected to be a tight contest. Tigerette was much worse for Commerce, taking a measly 12 after tipping a ball lightly over her wicket, putting the hosts behind. Paige answered with 320 for the Flames, pushing their lead to a slightly stronger mark. Ice Cream got 288 for the Tradewinds, a bit disappointing after it looked like she could go deep, as they remain behind at the halfway point.

Kiwi had trouble getting much turn on her swings, ending up at 169 as her pace collapsed below her, putting Terrace City in an unfamiliar position. Hoppy flicked only 220 for the Monarchs on her turn, not doing much to help the lead. Jennifer got a little bit back with 336 for the Knights, but they'll need a big performance later on.

Delila churned out 791 for Atlantic in her opening turn, establishing the visitors with a significant mark. Tigerette couldn't keep up, producing only 289 for a slumping Commerce side. Isabella chose to accept 377 for the Pirates rather than risk an optional replay on such a low-scoring day. Ice Cream made things worse for the Tradewinds, as she took just 179, further deepening the deficit. Americus faltered at a paltry 40 for Atlantic, leaving them with less control than they previously had.

Bear was unable to answer effectively, ending on 99 for Whitewater as they start from behind. Solaris scooped up another 780 for the Torpedoes, practically doubling their lead in the performance. Their recent bye week doesn't seem to have helped the Shores, as Twinkie III replied with 263 on her turn, a poor mark that has them far behind at the halfway mark. Whiskers managed only 169 for Infinity, allowing their lead to slip a little bit. Marsell chipped back with 312 for Whitewater, making a little bit of progress but likely too late.

Ms. Puppy led things off with 543 for Modernistic, continuing to play a hot game this week. Snowball was knocked back at 28 for Swordpoint, putting them in an unenviable position of playing from behind early on.
