Puff III barely covered the deficit for the Eagles, unable to establish her swing before getting bounced out at 63. Ice Cream ran forward with 614 for the Tradewinds, a great turn to give them a nice lead midway through the game. Kirstin didn't even get close to saving the day for Everton, her 158 leaving them still far short of the target.

Juno picked up 320 for Stonebridge to open the game against her former team in acceptable form. Ms. Puppy failed at trying to prove a point this time, ending abruptly with 145 for Modernistic in a poor performance. The play continued to get sloppier when the Wolves' Frosty ended with only 60 as a deflection went straight to her wicket.

Sprint Pitch, Victoria: The Spurs come back home for a three-game home stand coming out of a bye week, while the Cascades complete their doubleheader with this road game. Jasmine is feeling a bit of travel fatigue with the quick trip, taking only 131 for Freedom to begin the game. Spice couldn't even beat that, showing a bit of rust as the Victoria captain tapped 121 with an unfortunate deflection at the end.

Ms. Puppy continues to dazzle during the Modernistic surge, belting 1103 to give them the lead this time. Ted came down from his recent road pace for the Spiders, getting only 289 this time as they slip behind. Daisy countered well with 548 for the Union, supplementing their lead nicely at the midway mark.

Dani tried to mount a comeback for the Spiders, but her 328 left them with a loss at 1593, unable to rise far enough. Strawberry iced the game with her 324 to give the Union 2696 overall in a big win. Modernistic is now 27-23, while Web City drops to 23-26.
That's all for Week 26 of cricket. The plan for cricket in the near future is to pump out one more segment before the weekend, and potentially but not likely more than that. Week 27 should be done early next week.
