Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: Two of the worst teams in the league will get a chance to move up in this meeting. Chelsea has been good on the road recently, and never better than today, smashing 1119 at the start to set Eastside on the right path immediately. Nightfur's rough home play continued with a poor 113 for Royal in this game. Taylor tallied another 434 for the Sharks on a solid turn from their star player. Jake covered some of the deficit in a strong turn for the Crowns, gathering 576 to get a little closer at the halfway mark. Niki stumbled to only 45 points for Eastside in a weak outing for the sophomore. Kayla couldn't capitalize on the opportunity, ending with 112 for Royal as they appear set to see their skid continue. Paps batted 672 at the end for the Sharks, bringing their big total to 2270 in what should be a win for the visitors. Hannah had just 128 for the Crowns, capping their loss at 929 in another bad team effort. Eastside cruised to victory to go to 8-16, while Royal's skid is now ten games long as they sit with a 6-16 record.
Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents and Swifts square off in a battle of teams of even strength so far. Patches started off with incredible pace, but lost control later and ended up with 562 for Boston in the opening attack. Precious had some troubles with deflections, but they didn't end her turn. Instead, a missed swing cut her down at 530, putting Pronger just a touch behind. Puff II did decently for the Swifts, batting 375 to keep their lead somewhat steady. Zach supplied the Tridents with 529, doubling their offense to give them a marginal lead at the halfway mark. Gradley tried and succeeded at covering the deficit, posting 519 as Boston challenges their hosts effectively. Spot didn't get his bat back quickly enough, scraping a ball into his stumps to end with 112 and set Pronger behind with a player each to go. Sweetheart went big at the end for the Swifts, ripping 623 to bring them to 2079 overall. Potter saw his swing split between two balls after a bounced offering, and he ended at 361, leaving the Tridents short at 1532. Boston's win carries them to 13-10, while Pronger drops to 11-10 in the loss.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The Cascades have struggled recently, but not more than their visitors, the Crowns. Nightfur had a reasonably good appearance for Royal, tallying 433 to open the scoring in acceptable form. Jasmine put together her best home effort of the season, smacking 830 to give Freedom a big lead initially. Jake just managed to cover the deficit despite a perfectly good turn, adding 424 to the Crowns score in the second attack. Stinky had a stunted offensive performance with 176 for the Cascades, making things a bit close at the halfway mark. Kayla didn't get as much of a boost as she liked, ending on a solid 319 for Royal as the team balance slides a bit. Freedom pulled away a bit more with 598 from Roxy, a fantastic appearance that saw her show off plus command. Hannah had a paltry 155 for the Crowns, leaving them well short with a loss at 1331, their eleventh in a row. Nikolai made a quick exit on 33 for the Cascades, giving them 1637 in the win. Freedom is back in the right direction at 8-11, while Royal drops again to 6-17.
Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores host the second in a three-game home stand against the Eagles, who are just hanging onto top-tier status after a fall from grace. Goldy was a little chaotic, but also effective in scoring 572 for Everton to give them a solid start to the game. Bear kept it fairly close for Whitewater, lining 486 on his opening effort. Puff III absolutely belted 986 for the Eagles on her turn, giving them a formidable lead with her amazing pace. Her sister, Twinkie III, tried mimicry for the Shores, but ended at 456 after hitting an elevated offering awkwardly. Kirstin's slump continued with a meager 82 for Everton in this game, leaving their lead a bit vulnerable. Marsell shrunk the deficit fairly well with 410 for Whitewater, giving them a chance depending on how the final players perform. Blizzard had only 20 for the Eagles, getting beat by a fast-paced ball early on to give them 1660 as their final. Her sister Shaggy also collapsed, taking a measly 39 as the Shores suffered a heartbreaking loss at 1391. Everton is back on track at 18-9, while Whitewater slips to 8-10.
FedEx Ground, Eastside: The Sharks still seek their first win in their new stadium, bringing in Eastern Hills rivals in the Diamond Gems to try to settle it. Smokey laid a good foundation for Diamond, paddling his way to 472. Chelsea couldn't settle a ball on her backhand quickly enough, getting taken out at 288 by the next offering as Eastside starts from behind again. Citrus didn't help the Gems much, faltering at 102 as their lead weakens in the second wave. Taylor flipped 476 for the Sharks, giving them the edge at the midway mark. Pedey had a misplay where he missed an offering, and while offered a technical error replay, he chose to accept 395 for Diamond to restore a small lead. Niki kept pace well for Eastside, cobbling together 385 to sustain the lead with a player each to go. Rosalina hit 472 for the Gems in the end, getting finished by a pair of deflections to leave the visitors at 1441, forcing the hosts to respond. Paps broke the curse with 376 for the Sharks, giving them their first home win on 1525. Eastside is now 9-16, while Diamond's heavy schedule has weighed them down at 10-20.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Each team has big reasons for wanting the win in this battle between talented sides. Capital City got off to a dream start thanks to 958 from their captain Chris, setting the tone quite well. Watermelon scooped up 894 in response for Pearl, keeping the game close initially with a great counterattack. Missy didn't last very long for the Sharpshooters, taking just 36 on her turn as their lead destabilizes. Neopolitan did enough to claim a lead for the Surfers, slicing 456 in a decent turn to put them ahead. Sprinkles covered the deficit in a turn filled with risky swings, working her way to 465 to give Capital City a chance. Boots had a rare misstep, stumbling with a meager 80 as Pearl falls behind again late in the game. Nicole had a modest 367 for the Sharpshooters against her first team, leaving her current team at 1826. Wings barely lifted the Surfers ahead in the end, scoring 418 to produce their final of 1848 in the narrow victory. Pearl jumps to 12-11 in the win, while Capital City is clearly second tier at 16-10.
Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Predators come off a bye for a two-game road trip, first facing the last-place Specters, who are trying to leave the basement. Shawn picked up a decent 375 for Midland, taking awhile to find a comfortable swing. Sydney was going well for Harrison, but she hit a ball awkwardly and ended abruptly at 289, putting the hosts a bit behind. Rainmane added a lot of support with 794 for the Predators, going at a slow but steady pace to build their lead up. Twinkie II quickly answered with 595 for the Specters, doing her part to mitigate the damage. Leonardo had a few odd bounces, and the last one took out his wicket, ending him at 253 for Midland as their lead loses a bit of strength. Lexi went big with 721 for Harrison, putting them in the lead late in the game with her big performance. Fuchsia has slowed from her early-season pace, falling with 84 as the Predators lost with 1506. Sugar tacked on 344 for the Specters at the end, giving them a final of 1949 in the win. Harrison's win gets them to 7-20 on the year, while Midland falls to 16-12.
IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks' sixth game of seven this week is at home against the Surfers, who embark on a three-game road trip through the western regions. Watermelon has recently been shaky on the road, evidenced by her scoring 267 for a soft lead for Pearl. Peach dug up enough strength to rattle off 807 for North Modernistic, giving them a supple first lead. Neopolitan fired back very well for the Surfers, carving out 907 on her turn to cover the deficit handily. Luigi did enough with 457 for the Nighthawks, covering the deficit to give them a small lead at the halfway mark. Boots didn't get much done for Pearl, falling at 287 as they are in a vulnerable position. Cheddar broke out with 939 for North Modernistic, potentially doing enough to secure the game. Wings had only 112 for the Surfers on his turn, sending them to a loss with 1573. His brother, Bright, capped the Nighthawks win with 352, giving them a final of 2545. North Modernistic pulled out of their nosedive to get to 17-14, while Pearl is backtracking to 12-12.
Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: The Union have a tough task on hand, as the first-place Torpedoes look to extend that lead in their second game of three in a road trip. Smudge made a critical mistake, rushing a swing that went out of bounds to leave her with 179 for Infinity. Ms. Puppy was doing fine until a ball arced over her bat to take out her wicket, leaving Modernistic a step behind at 167 to start with. Solaris blasted 1066 for the Torpedoes, giving them a significant lead after the second attack. Daisy had a decent pace going before an errant swing sent her down at 224 for the Union. Whiskers didn't provide much support for Infinity, ending on 147 in a mostly low-scoring game so far, save for Solaris. Puff I chipped away at the deficit with 568 for Modernistic, trying to make the game a bit closer at the end. Mr. Snowman added a solid 501 for the Torpedoes, giving them 1893, which should hold up. Strawberry rallied for 580 for the Union, but the rally came up short when they ended with 1539. Infinity has strengthened their grip on first place at 18-7, while Modernistic is 8-16, unfortunate to face such a tough opponent.
Home Depot Forum, Web City: A losing streak will end here, be it the eleven-game Crowns skid or the five-game slide for the Spiders. Nightfur started off with a mild 314 for Royal, giving them an acceptable opener. Shadow had no trouble coming up with an answer for Web City, knocking 837 to give the hosts a lead. Jake couldn't cover the deficit for the Crowns, falling out of rhythm and then getting taken out at 351 in rapid succession to end his turn. Ted kept the damage low, sustaining the Spiders lead with his 288 to bring the game to half-completion. Kayla did well for Royal, covering the deficit with her 503 as the game has gotten a bit close.

Hannah provided a sharp challenge with 439 for the Crowns, giving them a final of 1607 that will force the hosts to reply. Dani had only 152 for the Spiders in the end, leaving them with a loss on 1446. Royal's eleven-game losing streak is history as they go to 7-17, while Web City's skid is now six games long with a record of 10-18.
GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders' next game is also against their Southeastern rivals, the Pilots, but Golden will play four games between now and next week's return match. Valencia did well with 467 for Golden to begin the scoring. Bianca saw a high-arcing ball absolutely dive-bomb at her wicket, stalling her turn at 39 for Southridge. Dusty showed no mercy for the Pilots, hammering 980 to extend their lead to lofty heights. Debby didn't get far with her response for the Defenders, picking up 272 as they remain far back at the halfway point. Strut kept Golden on the right track with a simple 424 on his turn, padding the lead a little bit. Stephanie tried a rally for Southridge, quickly smacking 668, but the hosts remain far back late in the game. A. Charlton tapped another 264 for the Pilots, setting their final score at 2135 in what should be a win for the high-offense visitors.

Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds make a short stop at home between road trips to face the slumping Spiders in this segment's finale. Shadow was forced onto his backhand after a bounce, and this brought him down with 450 to start the game well for Web City. Tigerette couldn't quite match her fellow captain, but she got very close with 447 for Commerce. Ted clobbered 810 for the Spiders, working efficiently to give the visitors a better second lead. Ice Cream held on for awhile before a reaching swing ended her turn at 375 for the Tradewinds, putting them in a hole.
