Chevrolet Field, Everton: The Eagles begin a three-game home stand with this Northeast Divisional, the Arrows' final division game of the year, and their fourth of a five-game road trip. Sally didn't make it easy at all with 661 for Archtown at the start, giving them a hefty lead. Goldy failed to get quite that comfortable, leading off with a pathetic 28 for Everton in a slow start for the hosts. Sleepy B. lacked pace on her turn as well, bowing out at 44 for the Arrows in what could be the beginning of some sloppy play. Puff III quickly turned things around for the Eagles, giving them the lead by carving out 1040 in an excellent appearance. Ruby couldn't recover enough for Archtown with her 106, keeping them at a deficit. Kirstin didn't do much more for Everton with her 176, but they retain the lead with a player each to go. Dusky fired back at pace for the Arrows, clobbering 719 to give them a final of 1530 for the game. Blizzard did well with 557 for the Eagles, enough to give them 1801 and the win when the game ended. Everton improves to 27-20, while Archtown is 24-23, and ends Northeast Division play at 5-5.
BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers meet the Union in an Urban Division, with the visitors taking a short break in a home stretch for this local road battle.

Misty hardly flinched at all for Westside, answering with 674 to keep it close in the early going. Daisy maintained a respectable pace with 501 for the Union, boosting their lead a bit. Goatee took a bit of a stumble with only 234 for the Rockers, putting them farther behind at the halfway mark.

Microsoft Pitch, Del Sur: In the S-Line Derby, the Monarchs are set to host the league-leading Blades for a game that could result in an upset with the right bounces. Snowball learned about bounces the hard way, as a ball got over her bat and took out her wicket with just 171 to start Swordpoint's offense. Panda gained the lead for Southern with 336, but they don't have a lot of room for error. Dreamy continued the slow play to start the Blades' six-game road trip, producing a meager 80 on her turn. Hoppy chipped another 320 for the Monarchs, adding to their lead but still not enough to be comfortable. Bandit erased the deficit with ease, crushing 1022 for Swordpoint to put them in the lead with the good turn. Pounce reclaimed the lead for Southern with 696, although the lead has shrunk despite his good turn. Stealth didn't get much traction with 264 for the Blades, leaving them at a final of 1537. Shannon tacked on 319 for the Monarchs, completing the upset to give them a final of 1671. Southern's win carries them to 16-23, while Swordpoint falls out of first place once again to drop to 37-17.

Chris didn't waste any time in getting Capital City going with 720 on this turn, a strong mark from the visiting captain. Jasmine answered with 565 for Freedom, churning through a slow start to get a solid performance on the record. Missy fired back with 583 for the Sharpshooters, putting them further ahead with the effort. Stinky had two false starts for the Cascades and still couldn't straighten out his swing, ending at 117 in a poor outing.

Roxy lost more ground with 322 for Freedom, keeping them far back as the final players come to bat. Nicole batted 450 in a strong game for the Sharpshooters, ending their offense at 2348.

BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers continue their three-game home stand by hosting the Cascades, who are in the middle of their tripleheader in this game.

Misty countered with 842 for Westside, putting them far ahead in the early going. Stinky covered the deficit well for the Cascades with his 873, giving them a narrow lead for now. Goatee lost control of most of the Rockers lead with her 168, but they still have a slight edge at the midway point. Roxy put in a modest 248 for Freedom, covering the deficit again but not by much. Midnight fought it off with 250 for Westside herself, the close exchange doing nothing to separate the teams late in the game. Nikolai had a hesitant swing, which went out of bounds and ended his turn at 33, giving the Cascades another loss with 1170 total. Slinks did barely any better, but her 48 sealed up a Rockers win at 1308. Westside bounces back to 33-17, while Freedom sinks further to 12-22.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The Cascades return home to reach midseason at the end of their tripleheader, hosting an Arrows team regressing after a recent surge. Sally appeared to lack confidence in her swing, diving hard and falling at 128 for Archtown in a weak start. Jasmine covered the deficit easily, opening with 552 for Freedom to give them their best start of this stretch. The Arrows pulled ahead temporarily on the back of a 522-point performance from Sleepy B., a good outing from the veteran. Stinky nearly matched that himself, drilling 512 to restore a reasonably strong lead for the Cascades. Ruby squeezed a bit more out on an optional replay, but her 202 did little to help Archtown. Roxy shot back with 456 for Freedom in a good outing, padding their lead once again later in the game. Dusky hit 401 for the Arrows, good individually but not enough as they take the loss at 1253 to end their five-game road trip. Nikolai took a small 120 for the Cascades at the end, sealing their win at 1640. Freedom salvages the tripleheader a bit to go to 13-22, while Archtown sinks to 24-24 in the loss.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds and Tradewinds jockey for position in this game despite neither having much chance of making the playoffs. Tigerette never managed to establish herself for Commerce, quickly falling with 48 as her backhand let her down. Princess gave Tysini a noticeable lead with 359 on a solid effort for her turn. Ice Cream didn't quite have her swing on point for the Tradewinds, plodding along until her finish with 290. Leandra lost ground for the Hummingbirds, her 162 giving them a smaller lead halfway through the game. Lionel got a bit distracted for Commerce, falling at 45 as they just can't cover the shrinking deficit. Charli absolutely blasted Tysini ahead for good with 1525 on her turn, coming out of nowhere to decide the game a bit early. Lorde put up 152 for the Tradewinds, but they've had diminishing returns as they lose with 535 this time in a terrible road game. Brownie went with 270 for the Hummingbirds at the end, icing their win at 2316. Tysini jumps to 16-21, while Commerce falls to 19-27.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The league-leading Swifts get their chance to hold the top spot for awhile if they can defeat their Southeastern rivals, the Predators, in the toughest test of their five-game road trip. Shawn made quite the impact with 631 for Midland at the start of this game, giving them a stable base. Patches kept it very close for Boston with her 623, leaving the rest of the rosters to decide the game. Rainmane fired right back with 567 for the Predators, restoring a sizable lead for the visitors. Puff II clubbed 1109 in response for the Swifts, setting them distinctly ahead at the midway mark. Leonardo kept the pace of the game high with 831 for Midland on his turn, covering the deficit well.

Fuchsia did well with 418 for the Predators, bringing their final score to 2467 overall in the high-scoring game. Sweetheart put in a good effort with 359 for the Swifts, but she came up short, and their nine-game home winning streak snapped as they fell with 2379. Midland's upset win takes them to 26-20, while Boston is 32-15 and bad against the division.
Chevrolet Field, Everton: The Eagles hope to continue their renaissance in their second of a three-game home stand, as they host a struggling Cascades team. Jasmine got beat on a bad deflection early in her turn for Freedom, ending at only 108 in a poor opening turn.

Stinky got less than half of the damage covered for the Cascades, exiting at a strong 679. Puff III kept things steady for the Eagles at the midway mark with her 421. Roxy put another dent in the deficit for Freedom, slinging 610 to bring the visitors closer after their disastrous start. Kirstin shot back with 483 for Everton on her turn, keeping their lead strong enough again as the final players come to bat.

Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents put their undefeated division record on the line when they host tough Eastern Hills rivals in the Pirates. Delila couldn't have stopped all the offerings that approached her, choosing to go backhand but not recovering in time as she ends with 248 for Atlantic. Precious put Pronger slightly ahead with 351, but the margin is still small early in the game. Isabella showed a sturdier side to the Pirates offense by slicing 523 in the second attack to give them a better lead. Zach held his own quite well for the Tridents, bumping 580 to keep them in the lead. Americus couldn't keep her swing on target long enough for Atlantic, falling with 144 while failing to cover the deficit. Spot answered with 487 for Pronger on his turn, adding a bit more padding to their lead ahead of the final players' turns. Klaus had to accept 591 for the Pirates, unsure of his ability to cover the deficit if he took a replay. The visitors close the game at 1506 total.

Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts look to reclaim first place if they can win this game, the first of a three-game road trip for the Knights. Kiwi had a reasonably good opener for Terrace City with her 482, giving them a solid foundation. Patches did not play well for Boston at all, struggling with pace throughout her turn before bailing at 294 to put them at a deficit. Jennifer got caught on a technical error, then false-started on the replay before posting 271 in a mediocre turn for the Knights. Puff II darted forward with 656 for the Swifts, covering the deficit as the hosts hold the midgame lead. Oreo covered the deficit well with 376 for Terrace City, giving them at least a temporary lead.

BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers look to join the tie for third place in the finale of their three-game home stand, hosting the Predators in their fourth of five straight on the road. Shawn thought he had a decent pace going, but it quickly went bad and he fell with only 199 for Midland. Misty barely did any better for Westside, grabbing 250 to give them a modest lead initially. Rainmane had a more respectable 433 for the Predators on the second attack, giving them a better lead this time. Goatee answered with 318 for the Rockers, unable to retain the lead for the hosts as the game remains close. Leonardo popped another 527 for Midland on his turn, extending their lead quite nicely with the effort. Midnight couldn't keep her patience for Westside on her turn, skying a ball to end with 372 as they fall a bit farther behind with a player each to go.

Midland has turned into somewhat of a giant killer, going to 27-20, while Westside crashed to 33-18.
That's it for this segment. We'll have the end of this week done by tomorrow. The delay incurred was due to a computer problem I had. Given my upcoming personal schedule, and the wait I'm still having to resolve lingering effects from the problem, Tournament action will not resume until July 3. Until then, when I can play and publish, all action on here will be for cricket.
