BMW RockDome, Westside: Two of the better teams in the league meet in the weekly debut, with the Swifts riding a road high as they come to visit the Rockers. Boston got off to a solid start with 475 from Patches on the opening turn of the game. Misty showed up well to counterattack with 591 for Westside, giving them the initial lead. Puff II played with confidence, but not for a long time, ending at an acceptable 328 for the Swifts, who have the deficit covered for now. Goatee successfully went to her backhand twice before a third ball got over her bat and stalled her at 379, which allowed the Rockers to regain the lead. Gradley got smothered early in his turn, keeping his pace low for Boston, and eventually he scored 213 in a poor turn. Midnight smacked 603 for Westside in response, extending their lead quite a bit near the end of the game. Sweetheart forced a response from the hosts again with her 790 for the Swifts, putting them at 1806 for their final score. Slinks did enough with 360 to give the Rockers a win at 1933. Westside gets the critical win to move into fourth place at 25-13, while Boston is a half-game back at 25-14 in a tie for sixth.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Torpedoes try to shake their home troubles with this three-game stand, hosting the Union in the first of those games. Ms. Puppy doesn't want to make it easy on her hosts, corralling 566 for Modernistic on the first turn. Smudge can't seem to shake this home slump, falling at 220 for Infinity this time as they start from behind again. Daisy padded the lead for the Union with 521, a good performance to keep them in control of the game. Solaris tried to soften the blow a bit for the Torpedoes, collecting 424 on a decent turn. Puff I accepted 445 for Modernistic after a technical error, although she left a lot of points on the table as it took awhile to end the turn without being forced into a replay. Whiskers still couldn't take advantage for Infinity, scoring 378 in a decent effort that still sees them slip farther behind. Strawberry stumbled at 269 for the Union, putting their final at 1801. Mr. Snowman couldn't pull back with 136 for the Torpedoes, and they lost with 1158, their sixth loss in a row at home. Modernistic rises to 17-20, while Infinity is down to 23-18 on their slow fall.
Ebay Center, Queens: The Flames host a Southeast Divisional against the Predators, as two in-form teams battle it out for a critical victory.

Crystal got a bit bunched up on her turn as well, scoring a modest 231 as Queens is a bit behind at the start. Rainmane gave the Predators a more respectable output with her 544, padding the lead quite nicely. Paige couldn't get her swing on track for the Flames, with a poor 108 putting them in a deeper deficit at the midway mark.

Violetta shot back with 600 for Queens, but they are losing ground and have little time to recover. Fuchsia got knocked down at just 80 for the Predators, but they end at a total of 1978, which should be a win. Max finished with 416, not enough to save the Flames from taking a loss at 1355. Midland improves to 21-18, while Queens is down to 23-15 on the year.
BMW RockDome, Westside: The third jerseys are out for an Urban Divisional between two very strong teams, as the Rockers host the third of four straight at home against the Nighthawks in their eighth of ten straight on the road. Peach did alright in plucking 409 for North Modernistic to open the scoring. Misty didn't readjust after a backhand try, ending her turn as she failed to settle the next ball, which gave Westside 295 to start. Luigi continued his strong play of late with 538 for the Nighthawks, adding a good amount to their lead. A deflection was to blame for Goatee stalling out on 289 for the Rockers, losing a bit more ground. Cheddar slugged 1607 for North Modernistic this time, just about securing the game with the epic turn at bat. Midnight barely showed any fight in her game with a measly 48 for Westside. Bright hit 105 for the Nighthawks, closing their likely win at 2659. Slinks tapped 456 for the Rockers, but they took a brutal loss at 1088.

Sugar put all her effort in getting close, only to fade too far and end with 688, giving the Specters a loss with 2597. Whitewater moves up to 14-13, while Harrison sinks to 16-26.
HP Field, Midland: The Predators are going for the season sweep against the Knights, who play in their third of four straight on the road. Kiwi is really feeling like herself late, bashing 921 for Terrace City in a great start for the visitors this time. Shawn couldn't get control of his appearance for Midland, hitting a meager 114 in the effort. Jennifer rattled off another 777 for the Knights, extending their lead by a wide margin with a good game from the second hitter. Rainmane accepted 458 for the Predators, forgoing an optional replay to make a minor impact on the deficit. Oreo weakened the Terrace City lead a bit with only 200 on her turn, a poor outing from the usually punishing veteran. Leonardo made a little bit of progress for Midland with 378, but they are running out of time to make a late push. Stripes had only 129 for the Knights at the end, producing their final score of 2027. Fuchsia wasn't any better with 128 for the Predators, icing their loss at 1078.

Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Torpedoes need a quick end to their home slump, but the Pirates, in their sixth of seven straight on a successful road trip, don't seem likely to oblige. Delila couldn't seem to get a handle on her swing for Atlantic, ending with a poor 185. Smudge had one of her best recent efforts, quickly swatting 728 for Infinity to start this game.

Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige look to snap a home losing streak, but the visiting Blades are a tough team to do that against. Snowball did well in her return to road play, smacking a solid 506 to get Swordpoint off to a strong start. Acorn fired back with an even better 591 for Lighton, giving the hosts a narrow initial lead. Dreamy stumbled badly for the Blades, picking up a weak 138 as they barely cover the deficit this time. Spirit wasn't much better for the Prestige, scraping them ahead with her 115 as the game takes a low-scoring turn at the halfway mark. Bandit parried a solid 510 for Swordpoint on his turn, giving them another chance to lead the game. Twinkie I fell just short of covering the deficit for Lighton, poking 423 as they trail slightly late in the game.
