Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: The stagnant Union host the upstart Specters to get this segment going. Sydney had no troubles getting started, churning out a quick 572 for Harrison to lead things off positively. Ms. Puppy has hit a bit of a slump for Modernistic, a worst-case scenario for the team, and she had only 160 this game as they're quickly behind.

Daisy fired back with 682 for the Union, a big effort to keep the game close at the midway mark. Lexi did alright for Harrison, keeping them in the lead with 336, but that lead isn't a very confident one. Puff I slugged 1055 for Modernistic on her turn, covering the deficit and then some as the hosts build up a huge lead with a player each to go. Sugar collected 414 for the Specters, but it was far from enough, and they took the loss with 1614 after suffering the big counterattack. Strawberry made it a quick ending with 88 for the Union, giving them 1985. Modernistic proudly goes to 9-17, while Harrison drops to 9-21.

Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns just broke a long losing streak, and look to reverse their home fortunes, while the Wolves try to avoid going winless in their five-game road trip.

Twilight set a high bar on the opening turn, hammering 691 for Central to begin with a nice lead. Patches couldn't keep up for Boston, ending on 313 as the hosts will play from behind here. Dustin claimed he was legal for a false start replay, but was judged out at 24 for the Warriors, and he put up a firm but respectful protest before leaving. Puff II failed to cash in on this opportunity, taking a pathetic 96 for the Swifts as they remain behind halfway through the game. Mario chipped a decent 367 for Central on his turn, padding their lead a little bit. Gradley made a dent in the deficit with 575 for Boston, getting them within striking distance late in the game.
