We're back as the league prepares to reach 1/3 completion of the season this week. We begin with...
BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers look to take a chance at first as they close a four-game home stand, while the Monarchs wrap up a five-game road trip here as well. Southern started off slow, as Panda managed only 198 on his turn, a slow-paced effort from the visiting captain. Misty was a bit better for Westside, pulling in 327 in a decent performance to give the hosts an early lead. Hoppy posted 248 for the Monarchs, covering the deficit but not by much in a mediocre outing from the rookie. Goatee unleashed 1255 for the Rockers, a massive outing that put them firmly in the lead at the halfway mark. Pounce responded with only 266 for Southern, far from helpful in attacking the deficit. Midnight swatted another 934 for Westside, padding their lead significantly as it looks like they will take this game. Shannon struggled to find her swing on a cluttered pitch, and her 18 points left the Monarchs at 730 in the loss. Slinks added 941 more for the Rockers, putting their big total output at 3457. Westside improves to 14-5, while Southern is 7-16.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: Southwestern rivals in need of a boost meet, with the Hummingbirds in line to sweep the Prestige this season. Princess set Tysini on a fast track, taking 809 to give them a large lead early on. Acorn couldn't even come close to matching that, ending at 291 for Lighton, who will start from behind this game. Leandra chipped her way to 64 for the Hummingbirds, an erratic and short performance from the usually reliable star. Spirit picked up the slack for the Prestige, ripping 679 to put them ahead at the halfway mark of the game. Charli tried to save her turn for Tysini with a backhand flick and then a spike play, but it all failed and she ended on 170, putting her team in a vulnerable spot. Twinkie I maintained a Lighton lead with a light 202, giving them the slight edge as the final players come to bat. Brownie replied with a massive 829 for the Hummingbirds, giving them some late hope as they close with 1872. Salmo couldn't cover the deficit with 280 for the Prestige, ending their effort at 1452 in a loss.

Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades hope to keep a good season going as they end a four-game home stand, while the Crowns want to snap their seven-game skid. Nightfur knocked 445 at the start for Royal, a good opening attack. Swordpoint answered back with a great game from Snowball, who lined 769 to put the hosts in the initial leading position. Jake couldn't get the right angle on his backhand swing, ending up at 28 points after sending it out of bounds for the Crowns. Dreamy didn't add much for the Blades, posting a weak 138 on her turn to add to their lead. Kayla pulled Royal ahead at least temporarily with her 617-point appearance, a good effort. Bandit fought off that attack with 512 himself for Swordpoint, keeping the hosts at a substantial advantage with a player each to go. Hannah put up 336 for the Crowns, but they couldn't cover the deficit, losing with 1426. Stealth tapped 300 to seal the Blades win at 1719. Swordpoint jumps to 16-8, while Royal is down to 6-14 in an eighth-straight loss.
The Intel Pitch, Diamond: The Gems try to close their three-game home stand well, while the Pirates face a division rival in the second of a four-game road trip. Delila's hot streak for Atlantic came to an abrupt end when she scored a meager 135 this time out. Smokey had a very bad game for Diamond, taking a measly 24 points to start things off. Isabella answered with 402 for the Pirates, giving them a bit more of a lead the second time around. Citrus kept things close, scooping up 503 for the Gems to get them a little closer at the midway point of the game. Americus was not strong for Atlantic, taking only 126 to put their lead in a more vulnerable position. Pedey couldn't recover for Diamond, producing only 122 after trying to triple-hit carefully with a ball behind his bat for added trouble. Klaus cobbled 392 together for the Pirates, putting their final score at 1105, which might be enough in this low-scoring battle. Rosalina put in a challenge with 335 for the Gems, but this left them at 984 in the loss. Atlantic survives a rough game to go to 15-7, while Diamond is 9-18 in a rapidly developing lost season.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts need this game to keep their ascent going, while the Eagles want to retake first place again. Goldy had a fairly strong outing for Everton, leading things off with 426 for the visitors. Patches did not back down for Boston, striking back with 433 to give the hosts a very narrow lead initially. Puff III did better for the Eagles, pounding 624 to give them a bigger lead the second time around. Puff II couldn't be controlled, as the Swifts star bashed 1064 to give them the lead once again at the midway mark. Kirstin couldn't keep up with the escalation in attack, ending at a paltry 110 for Everton as they've fallen behind. Gradley was fairly steady with 376 for Boston, adding a bit to their lead before the final players take their turns. Blizzard couldn't recover the deficit, ending on 112 for the Eagles, which gave them a losing final of 1272 as their road skid hits four games.

Fluffina couldn't produce much of an answer for Maplewood, getting struck down at 92 as the hosts play from behind again.

Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Specters start a home doubleheader against another struggling team in the Spurs, who are out for a one-off road game. Spice wasn't sure what went wrong, but she had only 125 for Victoria in a very poor outing. Sydney was a little bit better for Harrison, but her 245 only gives the hosts a moderate lead. Yekaterina couldn't break free of the low scores, but she cancelled out the initial damage, taking 245 for the Spurs to regain a small lead with.

Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Specters wrap up the doubleheader with the Pilots coming to town in their short two-game road trip.

Dusty got the Pilots going in the right direction, appropriately hitting 737 to pad their lead very nicely. Twinkie II couldn't provide a solid answer for the Specters, giving them only 209 as their offense is weak at the midway point.

Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The Arrows kick off a four-game home stand against Northeast Division rivals, the Spiders. Shadow's road slump continued as he played aggressively and paid for it quickly with a measly 39 points to start the Web City offense. Sally answered with a middling 258 for Archtown, enough for a modest lead for now. Ted had only 54 for the Spiders, making it appear to be one of those games where their offense won't leave the ground. Sleepy B. had only 144 for the Arrows, squandering another chance for them to pull farther ahead at the halfway mark. Shiny pulled Web City back into the game with 300 on her turn, shrinking the deficit dramatically in a pitiful game. Ruby lost a bit of ground for Archtown, scoring only 147. Dani couldn't cover the small deficit, hitting a pathetic 48, which is a firm summary of their overall score of 441. Dusky iced the horrendous game with 222 herself for 771 for the Arrows overall.

Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns have a six-game losing streak at home to snap, but their cold offense faces a challenge from the resurgent Tradewinds. Tigerette pummeled 976 for Commerce right at the start, setting the visitors off on the right foot to begin this battle. Nightfur had her best home game of the year for Royal so far, producing 433 to make a dent in the deficit her side faces. Ice Cream got cut down at 113 by a nasty deflection, weakening the Tradewinds' lead in the process. Jake just about covered the deficit for the Crowns with his 582, making it a close game at the halfway point.

Kayla got some back for Royal with her 454, keeping them within striking distance late in the game. Lorde blasted 891 for the Tradewinds on her turn, setting their final at 2549, which will be tough for the hosts to match. Hannah had only 387 for the Crowns, leaving them in a loss with 1856.
