GE Stadium, Southridge: The Waves end a pair of road games here, while the Defenders have two of the first three games this week at home. Snuggle had a predictably slow start for Oceanside, gathering a mild 241 to start the scoring in this game. Southridge got off to a stronger start with 368 from Bianca, as the rookie did well for her team. Caitlin broke free for the Waves on her turn, putting them much farther ahead with 768 in a strong appearance. The Defenders' Debby couldn't cover the deficit, or even come close, scoring a meager 20 to put the hosts behind halfway through the game. Celestia proved stabilizing for Oceanside, contributing a good 580 to pad their lead some more. Stephanie made a bit of progress against the deficit for Southridge, collecting 726 to help her team get in range. Dewey slipped up with 162 for the Waves, giving them a final of 1751 for the game. Hughbert gave chase but ended short with 354 after a ball bounced off the back of his bat. The Defenders took the loss with 1468. Oceanside is 17-15, while Southridge is 15-17 after the close game.
Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents end their eight-game home stand against a soft opponent, the last-place Crowns. Nightfur gave Royal a fighting chance at the start of the game, lining a crisp 512 to establish a lead. Precious showed very little concern for the attack against her team, replying with 846 to give Pronger a noticeable initial lead. Jake failed to cover the deficit for the Crowns, ending with only 144 on a weak turn from the veteran. Zach covered that damage, but couldn't extend the Tridents lead by much with his 160, a poor effort from the sophomore. Kayla was able to cover the deficit for Royal, chipping a decent 384 to get them back in the fight. Spot was very frustrated with the bowling going against him, taking three false starts and then only scoring 57 on his fourth try, hurting the Pronger lead as the game will be close for the final players to decide. Hannah had a measly 24 for the Crowns, an embarrassing mark that leaves them at 1064 and all but guarantees a loss. Potter was sloppy in his turn, but the 220 gave the Tridents 1283 and the win, which is all that matters in the end. Pronger goes to 15-11, while Royal is 7-19 in a disappointing loss.
GE Stadium, Southridge: The first of a home-and-home between these teams is now, with the return at the end of the segment. Acorn did reasonably well for himself and Lighton on the opening turn, striking 483 in a good performance. Bianca shot back for Southridge in full force, rallying her way to 632 to give the hosts an early lead. Spirit had a bad swing at the end of her turn for the Prestige, poking 234 to cover the deficit very lightly. Debby has entered a home slump for the Defenders, ending on a measly 64 this time around, which leaves them just behind at the midway mark. Twinkie I applied a bit more pressure for Lighton, carving out 506 to give them a significant lead. Stephanie kept the back-and-forth of the game going with her 602 for Southridge, pulling them ahead with a player each to go. Salmo popped a decent 295 for the Prestige, putting their final score at 1518, which will force a reply from the hosts. Hughbert couldn't do it, taking a big swing too soon and ending with a pathetic 16 to leave the Defenders in a loss with 1314. Lighton improves to 11-15, while Southridge slips again to 15-18 and will be hungry for revenge in nine league games.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Torpedoes look to take second place as they host the Cascades, who play in the third of a seven-game road trip. Jasmine had a good pace going but lost control of her swing and ended with a solid 328 for Freedom to open the scoring. Smudge was very good for Infinity on her turn, pulling them ahead with 503. Stinky shot back with only 3 for the Cascades, losing control of his swing very early but not early enough to earn a false start replay. Solaris charged forward with 739 for the Torpedoes, doing very well to pad their lead at the halfway point. Roxy fired back with 624 for Freedom, attempting to keep them in the game with the cut into the deficit. Whiskers tried to stave it off but had plenty of complaints about the pitch conditions, as she tapped 274 to give Infinity a small boost. Nikolai had just 49 for the Cascades, giving them a loss with 1004 in a tough game in which they couldn't keep up. Mr. Snowman added 454 for the Torpedoes at the end, icing their win at 1970. Infinity makes the leap to 20-8, while Freedom gets knocked back to 9-13.
AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: The Waves return home to face the Eagles, who begin a four-game road trip at a pivotal time in their season. Goldy slapped a strong 479 for Everton on her turn, setting the tone at an appropriate pace. Snuggle seemed to have a slightly better pace for Oceanside, but an earlier exit put his team behind when he scored 408. Puff III left her turn highly disappointed, taking only 152 after skying a ball earlier than expected, harming the Eagles' lead. Caitlin answered with a solid 447 for the Waves, putting them ahead at the halfway point in an almost balanced game. Kirstin made things worse with 155 for Everton, failing to cover the deficit as the visitors fall into trouble. Celestia stayed in line for Oceanside, padding their lead with another 470 as they've taken a firm grip on the game. Blizzard had only 361 for the Eagles, leaving them far short of the mark at 1147 in their loss. Dewey iced the Waves win with his own 208, leaving them at 1533 in a good game for the hosts. Oceanside is up again to 18-15, while Everton drops to 18-11, slipping farther down the standings as their formerly dominant offense eludes them.
The Intel Pitch, Diamond: The Gems host their hated rivals, the Shores, in the Bloodbath Derby. The Shores are in the second of a three-game road trip, while the Gems play a one-off at home. Bear seemed to forget the rivalry factor, hitting a light 102 for Whitewater in a poor opener. Smokey had a much hotter start for Diamond, ripping 578 to give them a big lead. Twinkie III covered the deficit with ease, slugging 932 to put the Shores in the lead after their second attack. Citrus has struggled at home, and this was no different, with just 215 coming from the star as the hosts fall behind. Marsell did his part to extend the Whitewater lead, adding a supporting burst of 707 to their offensive efforts. Pedey stumbled at 207 for Diamond on his turn, furthering the deficit with a player each to go. Shaggy chipped a decent 343 for the Shores, finishing their scoring at 2084, a good mark that they believe will hold. Rosalina tried to make a mark with 546 for the Gems, but this left them at 1546 in the loss. Whitewater improves to 10-11, while Diamond is 10-23 with the loss.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: The Spurs are in action at home for the third of a four-game home stand, hosting the Stills at the start of their two-game road trip. Todavía got off to a good start with 416 from Easter, pacing their attack fairly well early on. Spice answered with a solid 391 for Victoria on her turn, keeping the game close initially. Sierra didn't have a good performance with only 192 for the Stills, weakening their lead after the second attack. Yekaterina fired back in a big way for the Spurs, swatting 542 to give them the lead at the halfway mark. Sparkles tried to keep her pace healthy, but her final swing just went too high, and she added a mere 211 for Todavía as they fall farther behind. B. Chapman continued her recent surge for Victoria, churning out 844 to extend their lead significantly in this game. Bells had a paltry 36 for the Stills, never getting comfortable as they ended their loss with just 855 total. Wario had a terrible 7 for the Spurs, but they already had the game under control, winning with 1784. Victoria finally gets a lucky break, going to 10-17, while Todavía is 16-16 on the year.
FedEx Ground, Eastside: The Torpedoes look to close the gap on first place while keeping their road play hot, while the Sharks try to find comfort at home. Smudge struggled to keep an appropriate rhythm for Infinity on her turn, ending up with 346 to close out the first turn. Chelsea was much more decisive on her turn for Eastside, clobbering 735 to give the hosts a big lead early on. Solaris got greedy on his turn and paid for it dearly, ending on a measly 21 for the Torpedoes, who are entering a crisis. Taylor stayed composed despite a weak pace for the Sharks, hitting 370 on her turn to keep the lead strong. Whiskers tried to make a rally for Infinity on her turn, but it didn't work, and she fell with 169. Niki tapped another 360 for Eastside, padding their lead a little more before the final players come to bat. Mr. Snowman ended with a labored 383 for the Torpedoes, bringing their losing score to 919, snapping an eight-game win streak on the road. Paps added 112 for the Sharks, putting them at 1577 in the win, their fifth straight at home. Eastside is on a surge to 13-18, while Infinity drops back to fourth at 20-9.
McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates and Eagles are close in the standings, and each need to reverse their recent misfortunes. Goldy did well in the opening turn for Everton, tallying 469 to give them the stable start to the game. Delila didn't have the easiest time for Atlantic, chipping only 249 on her turn as the hosts will play from behind. Puff III didn't seem to be having trouble until she struck a ball too high and ended on only 169 for the Eagles. Isabella cashed in on the opportunity presented to her, putting the Pirates ahead as she hit 433. Kirstin didn't exactly help the cause for Everton, scoring only 215 as she had a bad swing. Americus crushed 1069 for Atlantic, leaving no doubt to the quality of their lead as the final players come to bat. Blizzard had 240 for the Eagles, getting distracted near the end of her turn to leave the visitors in a loss with 1093 total. Klaus takced on 441 for the Pirates, giving them 2192 in the big win. Atlantic snaps a six-game home losing streak to get to 18-11, passing the now 18-12 Everton side as their slide into mediocrity continues.
AT&T Oceanside Hall, Oceanside: The Waves wrap up a pair of home games, while the Tradewinds close up a decent four-game road trip. After a couple of technical errors, Tigerette got on track for Commerce with a massive 650 to establish their lead early on. Snuggle didn't even cover half of that for Oceanside, tapping an early 320 for the hosts to start with. Ice Cream cancelled out most of the damage done by Snuggle with her 306 for the Tradewinds, holding their lead steady. Caitlin made a dent in the deficit for the Waves with 447, bringing them a bit closer at the halfway mark. Lionel kept pace for Commerce pretty well, adding a bit more with 495 after a ball bounced off his bat handle and out of play. Celestia did not allow Oceanside to be easily felled, slapping 876 to give them a late lead in the game. Lorde had 235 for the Tradewinds on her turn, bringing their final to 1686, which forces a small response from the hosts. Dewey did enough with 227 for the Waves, giving them the win on 1870 overall. Oceanside is 19-15 after a resilient game, sending Commerce to 10-17.
McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates look to build on their last win against the lowly Crowns. Nightfur had a decent pace but couldn't last very long with her swinging position, taking only 177 for Royal. Delila showed a bit of improvement with 439 for Atlantic to open their offense this time. Jake countered with a big second attack of 635 for the Crowns, covering the deficit to give them a strong lead this time. Isabella couldn't recover for the Pirates, ending on just 211 on a weaker turn that puts them behind at the midway mark. Kayla ended on a bit of an odd bounce, but it couldn't take away the 464 she produced for Royal to pad their lead. Americus tried to rally for Atlantic, but fell apart early at 155 to do more damage than good late in the game. Hannah iced the Crowns' offense at 1791 with 515 individually, putting them in a good position to win. Klaus covered that with 536 for the Pirates, but his impact on the deficit was irrelevant as they lost with 1341 total. Royal goes to 8-19, while Atlantic is 18-12.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige hope to sweep the Defenders in this return from a match earlier in the segment. Bianca had a very rough go early for Southridge, falling out at 144 in a poor performance from the rookie. Acorn shot back with a more stable 448 for Lighton, giving them a solid lead early on. Debby had a paltry 60 for the Defenders on her turn, putting them in a deep hole with the failed second attack. The Prestige's Spirit was not great on her turn, with 255, but they hold a decent lead at the halfway point. Stephanie had to tap a ball on her backhand at least three times, and she still couldn't clear it away, ending at 144 when she took out her wicket, putting Southridge in a bit more trouble. Twinkie I had only 166, as Lighton remains in the lead of this sloppy game with a player each to go. Hughbert had only 89 for the Defenders on his turn, giving them a loss with 437 total, a brutally low score. Salmo added 192 for the Prestige, giving them 1061 in the win. Lighton is 12-15, sweeping Southridge, who are now at 15-19.
That's all for this cricket segment. More to come in the next few days.
