Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The Warriors' last home game before a long trip comes against one of the most road-tested teams. Misty was way off target with her turn, taking a poor 64 for Westside as they'll start from a bad position. Twilight asserted Central very early on, smashing 740 on her opening turn to build up a big lead. Goatee tapped 243 for the Rockers, doing very little to help them attack the deficit. Dustin shot back with 386 for the Warriors, doing well enough to add a bit to their lead at the halfway mark. Midnight added to the long line of mediocre efforts from Westside in this game, taking a shaky 160 as they remain in deep trouble. Mario fell with a measly 76, after a backhand attempt didn't have enough to get to safety, with Central maintaining a late lead. Slinks had a paltry 97 for the Rockers, finishing their embarrassing loss at 564 total. Gizmo produced 368 for the Warriors, ending their efforts at 1570 in the win. Central improves to 14-7, just a half-game behind the now 14-6 Westside team. The top of the league could experience significant change.
Microsoft Pitch, Del Sur: The Monarchs open a five-game home stand, while the Tradewinds look to keep rolling in the second of a three-game road trip. Tigerette produced a reasonable output of 295 for Commerce to lead things off. Panda responded much stronger for Southern, swatting 735 to give them a significant lead. Ice Cream had some trouble controlling her swing, and this combined with a deflection to end her turn at only 53 for the Tradewinds. Hoppy pulled her own weight well for the Monarchs, tacking on 472 to extend their lead nicely at the halfway mark. Lionel came up big, slamming his way to 919 as he covered the deficit Commerce had been facing. Pounce continues to find comfort in Southern, collecting 677 this time to restore a slightly smaller lead with the final players up next. Lorde got some of it back with 359 on her turn, but the Tradewinds fell with 1626 total in the loss. Shannon tapped 324 for the Monarchs, giving them the win with 2208. Southern jumps to 8-16, while Commerce slips back to 9-12.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts are a team on the rise, and the lowly Specters will try to interfere with that. Sydney did very well for Harrison in the opening turn, carving out 529 to stake out their offense. Patches faltered with 160 for Boston in this game, putting them behind early on. Twinkie II added quite a bit of support for the Specters, tallying 661 in a strong appearance for the captain. Puff II fired back with 586 for the Swifts, keeping them in the game at the midway mark despite a noticeable deficit. Lexi stood her ground for Harrison, batting 423 in a solid performance to maintain the lead. Gradley got a bit distracted on his turn, falling at 361 as Boston lost a bit more ground late in the game. Sugar didn't have the biggest game, ending on 281 individually to put the Specters at 1894 total. Sweetheart took an aggressive pace for the Swifts, but it failed when she fell at 215, giving them 1322 in the loss. Harrison is having a good week, getting up to 6-19, while Boston is slipping to 11-10 on the year.
Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Meteors return after two weeks off to host the Waves in a Coastal Divisional. Snuggle had quite the pace going for Oceanside before a technical error forced him to stop, and he accepted 584 to lead things off. Mams answered very efficiently for Viewpoint Sound, ripping 665 to put them slightly ahead early on. Caitlin got dinged for a mandatory replay after playing through a technical error, but it all worked out when she ended with 578 for the Waves, covering the deficit with ease. Hoot couldn't cover the deficit the other way, ending on 336 for the Meteors as they fall behind at the midway mark. Celesita picked up a decent 304 for Oceanside, doing what she could to hold the lead steady. Nibbles kept things even as well, gathering 327 for Viewpoint Sound to remain in striking distance late in the game. Dewey stepped up nicely with 487 for the Waves, bringing their final score to 1953. Dominic made a decent rally for the Meteors, but the marginal gains he made with 500 left them at 1828, short of victory. Oceanside improves to 15-13, while Viewpoint Sound drops down to 7-12 in a hard-fought battle.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds play in three of the next four, including a pair of tough home games, the first against the top-tier Pirates. Delila earned an optional replay for a technical error, and she took it, ending on 463 the second time around for a good start for Atlantic. Princess kept things close for Tysini on her turn, scoring 410 for a tight start. Isabella slipped up for the Pirates, hitting only 200 in a weak performance that leaves them vulnerable. Leandra made up the deficit with a quick 449 for the Hummingbirds, giving them the lead at the halfway mark. Her mother, Americus, answered in a big way for Atlantic, pummeling 919 to put them in a much firmer lead. Charli replied with 408 for Tysini, getting some of the damage covered but not enough as the final players come to bat. Klaus provided a nice bit of support for the Pirates, slashing 497 to get them to 2079 overall. Brownie seems to be slumping for the Hummingbirds, taking only 96 to leave them at 1363 in the loss. Atlantic's win keeps the competitive at 16-7 in a tie for second place, while Tysini drops to 7-13.
Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Specters return home on a bit of a run, facing a Torpedoes team in the thick of the top-tier fight as they close a four-game road trip. Smudge leaned back too much on her turn, lifting a ball out of play to end with only 51 points for Infinity. Sydney laid the foundations for an upset, slugging 1277 for Harrison to lead off what's shaping up to be another win. Solaris did a massive service for the Torpedoes, blasting 2024 to not only cover the deficit but create a large lead for the visitors. Twinkie II, still a bit awestruck, only had 153 in reply for the Specters, putting them behind. Whiskers rallied for Infinity as well, poking 764 to extend their lead quite nicely. Lexi had a pathetic 33 for Harrison, confirming their inability to keep up after Solaris' counterattack. Mr. Snowman chipped 240 for the Torpedoes, icing their win at 3079. Sugar had only 51 for the Specters, and they fell with a total of 1514. Infinity stays in the fight by going to 15-7, while Harrison falls to 6-20.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds are back, taking on Southwest Division rivals in the Blades, who are another team in the tangle at the top. Snowball got things going in good form, taking 543 for Swordpoint to begin with. Princess just edged ahead, going at a better pace but a shorter time to score 552 for Tysini to take a minor lead on. Dreamy didn't quite match her last road game, but 497 was good enough for the Blades to retake a lead. Leandra went the other way for the Hummingbirds, besting her captain to knock 654 and give the hosts a better lead at the halfway mark. Bandit made quite the impact for Swordpoint, belting 963 to give them a massive lead. Charli got knocked back at 155 for Tysini, with a deflection ending her turn far short of the deficit. Stealth crisply added 511 more for the Blades on his turn, giving them a sturdy final score of 2514. Brownie hit 439 for the Hummingbirds, leaving them at 1800 in the loss. Swordpoint is the latest high-ranked team to win, moving to 17-8, while Tysini drops again to 7-14.
Ebay Center, Queens: The Flames have a good chance of getting a win against a fatigued and reeling Hummingbirds side. Princess showed the fatigue for Tysini, failing to corral a ball on her backhand that bounced around and ended her turn at 171. Crystal surged forward for Queens, giving them a massive lead with 875 on her opening attack. The Hummingbirds' Leandra flailed in her short appearance, ending on only 69 points as the visitors are in a deep hole early. Paige didn't help Tysini very much with 224 on her turn, a poor outing but enough to maintain the lead for now. Charli managed only a meager 96 for Tysini, slicing a ball a bit too high to end her turn prematurely. Violetta added a little bit more for Queens, picking up 320 on her turn to keep the lead in their favor. Brownie had only 246 for the Hummingbirds, leaving them looking flat in a loss with 582. Max went pretty well for the Flames, collecting 448 to give them 1867 total in the win. Queens improves to 16-11 with the win, while Tysini's season is heading towards being lost at 7-15.
GE Stadium, Southridge. The Defenders look to keep a good season going in the third of a four-game home stand against the well-rested Shores, who are playing only their fifth road game so far. Bear provided a stable opener for Whitewater, chipping his way to 463 to lead off. Bianca crushed 1319 for Southridge in response, with big performance setting the hosts far ahead initially. Twinkie III made a decent cut into the deficit, cobbling together 410 for the Shores. The Defenders answered even stronger, as their captain Debby slammed 607 to extend the lead at the midway mark. Marsell made even more progress for Whitewater, churning out 796 to shrink the deficit. Stephanie contributed 240 for Southridge, leaving their lead a bit smaller with a player each to go.

Southridge is up to 13-13, passing the now 7-8 Whitewater side.
IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks look to get closer to the top tier, while the Blades look to ascend through it in a battle of high-scoring teams. Snowball set the tone early in game 1, annihilating with 1295 and a powerful swing to give Swordpoint a huge lead. Peach kept pace for the most part, drilling 1125 for North Modernistic to keep the game close early on. Dreamy helped the Blades to double down, nearly matching her captain with 1216 to extend the lead again. Luigi fell off the pace a bit for the Nighthawks, spiraling for a bit before finishing on a still-strong 766. Bandit washed that out effectively for Swordpoint, striking 874 to keep their lead extremely strong. North Modernistic appears a bit outmatched in this one, as Cheddar bounced a ball to end with 529 in a decent outing. Stealth just helped the Blades reach lofty heights, as his 625 set them at 4010 overall in what should be a win, and also the fourteenth-ever 4K team effort. Bright contributed 554 for the Nighthawks, setting them at 2974 in a high-scoring loss. Swordpoint is up to 18-8, challenging near the top of the league, while North Modernistic is unlucky to fall to 15-10.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills are back in action for their league-leading 30th game, facing the Gems in the second of their three-game road trip. Smokey kept the high pace theme going from the last game, but he only lasted long enough to score 400 for Diamond's first attack. Easter gave Todavía a small lead, poking her way to 505 to set her side ahead. Citrus barely covered the deficit with 128 for the Gems, getting a bit distracted during her turn. Sierra didn't get a lot better, but her 257 added modestly to the Stills lead halfway through the game. Pedey couldn't pull off a double-flick with his backhand, ending at a paltry 36 for Diamond as their game has gone downhill fast. Sparkles took advantage of the mistake, helping lead Todavía to a safer lead as she struck a large 647. Rosalina faltered at 103 for the Gems, and they took a heavy loss with 667 total. Bells rallied with 570 more for the Stills, icing their winning mark at 1979. Todavía dominated to get to 15-15 on the year, while Diamond slips to 10-19 with the poor performance.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: A varying segment ends with two struggling teams squaring off in the Southwest. Chelsea got things going very well for Eastside, rallying for 652 to set them off in the right direction for once. Spice edged Victoria ahead with a similarly strong outing, taking 682 to keep the game close. Taylor replied with 344 for the Sharks, making their second lead about half as strong as their first. Yekaterina countered very well for the Spurs, blasting 1044 to give them quite a lead at the midway point. Niki did well to take 538 for Eastside, but that wasn't enough to cover the deficit they faced. B. Chapman slipped up at 112 for Victoria, making them a bit more vulnerable with a player each to go. Paps put up a big rally with 975 for the Sharks, setting their final at 2509, forcing the hosts into a big response. Wario came up short with 471 for the Spurs, leaving them at 2309 in the loss. Eastside's big rally for the win sends them to 7-15, just a game behind Victoria as they move to 8-14.
That's all for this segment. My hope is to publish the Week 12 finale tonight.
