UPCL Cricket - Week 14 Part 3

We're back for the final segment of Week 14, beginning in...


Amazon Field, Golden: The Pilots begin a three-game home stand against a well-traveled Gems side.

Valencia covered the deficit with ease for Golden, lining 615 to give the hosts the initial lead. Citrus suffered a few deflections for the Gems on her turn, posting a paltry 113 on her technical error replay. Dusty tacked on another 448 for the Pilots, keeping their lead strong at the halfway mark of the game. Pedey put a dent in the deficit for Diamond, smacking 535 on a good turn from the sophomore. Strut fought back with 546 for Golden, undoing Pedey's damage as the hosts hold a big lead heading into the final players' turns. Rosalina was solid with 424 for the Gems, but they lost with 1433 against a superior team. A. Charlton supplied another 515 for the Pilots on her turn, setting their final at 2124. Golden continues to excel despite a busy week, going to 20-10, while Diamond falls to 10-22.


Nissan Hall, Infinity: The Torpedoes have a ten-game winning streak as they look to retake first, but the Volcanoes plan to provide a challenge to that. Starlight set quite the tone with 665 for Pacific, giving them an early advantage in what promises to be a tough game. Smudge had an awkwardly high hit for Infinity, ending her turn at 224 as the hosts find themselves behind. Ms. Kitty thoroughly punished the mistake, crushing 969 for the Volcanoes to bring their lead to a new height. Solaris had a meager 111 for the Torpedoes, making it glaringly obvious that this is not their game. Leonette chipped 286 for Pacific on her turn, doing well enough to maintain a large lead. Whiskers had only 145, making Infinity what has gone wrong with this lopsided game. Chicky Phil shrugged his way to 450 for the Volcanoes, giving them 2370 for their final score in what should be a win. Mr. Snowman tried a late rally with 681 for the Torpedoes, but they lost badly with 1161. Pacific surges forward to 22-9, taking over second place, while Infinity is 19-8 in a nearby fourth.


Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Specters, fresh off their home win versus the Prestige are set to face them again, looking to complete the series sweep on the road. Sydney continued her recent good play with 634 for Harrison this time out, starting the visitors off quite well. Acorn fired back with 608 for Lighton on his turn, making it a close start this time. Twinkie II doubled down for the Specters, ripping 659 as their lead is restored in the second attack. Spirit had only 185 for the Prestige, putting them at a significant deficit at the midway mark. Lexi did fairly well with 408 for Harrison on her turn, maintaining their lead. Twinkie I couldn't get her angle to settle down for Lighton, and this cost the team greatly when she bowed out at 144. Sugar supplied another 424 for the Specters on her turn, bringing them to a lofty final score of 2125 in what should go for a win and the sweep. Salmo had a measly 66 for the Prestige, setting their final at 1003 in a brutal loss. Harrison continues to surge in recent games, improving to 11-21, while Lighton is now 10-15 after the defeat.


HP Field, Midland: The Predators bring in Southeast Division rival Flames for a game, as the Flames have quite a test in two games on the road. Crystal had a decent pace, but she splattered her hits all over the place, and ended with 354 as Queens gets off to a passable start. Shawn was barely any better for Midland, posting 387 to give them a slight advantage initially. Paige sent a firmer score over for the Flames, tallying 497 to produce a stronger lead. Rainmane slipped up a bit with 455 for the Predators, but it sufficed to keep the game close at the halfway mark. Violetta stayed on course with 447 for Queens, keeping their lead in about the same shape as before. Leonardo couldn't keep pace, taking a false start and then ending at 180 on the replay as Midland is in a hole late in the game. Max scored 384 for the Flames on his turn, setting their final at 1682 with the hopes that it will be enough. Fuchsia had 419 for the Predators, a good score but not enough as they lost with 1441. Queens is now 19-11 on the year, while Midland drops to 16-16. Queens also has a six-game winning streak.


Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Specters look to keep their surge going against a weak Meteors team. Mams wasted little time in establishing Viewpoint Sound, pounding 867 on the opening turn to give them a nice lead. Sydney fell out of rhythm slightly for Harrison, which aided in ending her turn at a solid 527, giving the hosts a hill to climb. Hoot answered with 441 for the Meteors, a good mark to keep their lead fairly steady. Twinkie II swung her way to 844 for the Specters, a great performance that covered the deficit at the halfway mark. Nibbles replied with 632 for Viewpoint Sound, striking back to keep things interesting in the later stages. Lexi countered with 783 for Harrison, wiping out the most recent attack to keep the hosts in front with a player each to go. Dominic just barely covered the deficit with his 231 for the Meteors, giving them a final of 2171. Sugar hit 199 for the Specters, giving them 2353 in the win. Harrison is surging now, going to 12-21, flying past the 7-14 Viewpoint Sound side they just defeated.


Microsoft Pitch, Del Sur: The Monarchs host their third of five straight at home, while the Cascades are in the second of a seven-game road trip. Jasmine had a solid opening turn for Freedom with 487, staking out a fairly decent lead. Panda opened things up quite a bit for Southern, blasting 1161 on his turn to give them a huge initial lead. Stinky tried to keep the deficit manageable for the Cascades, tallying 520 to shrink the gap a bit. Hoppy didn't get too much for the Monarchs, as the rookie met a quick collapse at 131, weakening their lead. Roxy belted 964 to cover the deficit and put Freedom firmly in the lead, a rapid change of events thanks to her efforts. Pounce offered virtually no support for Southern, scoring a measly 160 on his turn. Nikolai posted another 505 for the Cascades on his turn, doing a significant part to end their offense at 2476. Shannon had a paltry 80 for the Monarchs, giving them the losing final at 1532 in an embarrassing offensive collapse for the hosts. Freedom is up to 9-12, while Southern is 9-17.


Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents play their seventh of an eight-game home stand, while the Sharpshooters kick off a three-game road trip. Chris had a major down turn for Capital City, hitting only 63 to get things going. Precious was hardly any better, getting stuck on a backhand attempt to end with 72 for Pronger in a slow start for both sides. Missy got beat by a deft deflection off a dead ball on the pitch, ending at 319 for the Sharpshooters, leaving them far from safe. Zach stepped up well for the Tridents, slicing 639 to give them a substantial lead at the halfway mark. Sprinkles failed to cover the deficit with only 232 for Capital City, making it more likely that they will slip in this game. Spot rocked his way to 926 for Pronger, another big turn that makes the hosts a bit more comfortable in their late lead. Nicole tried to reply for the Sharpshooters, but her 510 only got them to 1124 in the loss. Potter had only 146 for the Tridents, but this sealed their win at 1783.

Dustin is back to having struggles on the road, taking just 239 this time as the Warriors lead has fallen into danger. Luigi made things extremely close with his 424 for the Nighthawks, leaving the back halves of the rosters to settle this game. Mario faded against his brother's team, scoring only 33 as Central is now in deep trouble. Cheddar had a rare off game with 176 for North Modernistic, but they still hold a small lead with a player each to go. Gizmo was knocked back by deflections, ending with a measly 28 as the Warriors fall with only 959 total. Bright scooped up 609 for the Nighthawks at the end, icing their win at 1681. North Modernistic is up to 20-15 on the year at the halfway mark, while Central falls to 17-8.


Subway Field, Stonebridge: The Wolves and the Sharks meet in a battle of Eastern Hills Division rivals. Chelsea led off with 591 for Eastside, giving the visitors a nice lead in the first game played on Miniclip due to technical difficulties on the UPCL site.

Kiwi fell much quicker than expected for Terrace City, under-performing with a score of 193 to begin the game. Chelsea had another stable appearance for Eastside, slicing 564 to give them the early lead. Jennifer didn't react very quickly to an odd deflection, ending at 225 as it took out her wicket, doubling the Knights' troubles. Taylor answered effectively for the Sharks, extending their lead quite a bit with her 599. Oreo pulled back with 619 for Terrace City, shrinking the gap and giving the visitors a chance if they get a lucky break. Niki didn't slip for Eastside, holding firm with 504 to keep the hosts in front as the final players come to bat. Stripes had a reasonable 336 for the Knights, but this left them far short at 1373, a surprising loss for the top-tier side. Paps had only 92 for the Sharks, but they closed out the win with 1759. Eastside jumps to 12-18 with the effort, while Terrace City is 19-10, on the verge of losing their status with the top-tier.


Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Shores begin a three-game road trip against the Meteors, who are just back after a trip of their own. Bear's struggles on the road continued for Whitewater, as he had only 139 in this appearance.

Puff II answered with 742 for the Swifts, giving them a big boost as their lead grows. Luigi fell with only 90 for the Nighthawks as they appear to be having a team-wide collapse in this game. Gradley picked up another 441 for Boston, padding their lead a bit more. Cheddar tried a bit of a rally for North Modernistic, but her 671 barely touched the very steep deficit. Sweetheart contributed 595 for the Swifts on her turning, leaving their final at a lofty 2358. Bright's 337 brought the Nighthawks to their losing total of 1149.
