UPCL Cricket - Week 29 Part 3

We're back for the final segment of the day in a big day of UPCL Cricket. We begin this segment with...


Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: This Southwestern Divisional/Cluster Derby has the Torpedoes in the fourth of a six-game home stand while the Spurs try to fix their road woes at the start of a four-game trip. Spice put the hosts on alert, using a reasonable pace and strong swings to score 684 for Victoria. Smudge just didn't have much of a response in her, ending on 318 for Infinity in a mild start. Yekaterina accidentally popped a ball off the knob of her bat, ending her turn at 218 for the Spurs. Solaris got some of the deficit back with 424 for the Torpedoes, making it a closer game at the halfway mark. B. Chapman also put in a dud effort for Victoria with only 209, a deflection to blame for her early exit. Whiskers poked a decent 370 for Infinity on her turn, putting them ahead by a single point, which leaves the decision to the final players. Wario didn't back off for the Spurs with 567, bringing them back into form at 1678. Mr. Snowman failed in the comeback attempt, bowing out at 225 as the Torpedoes lost with 1337. Victoria pulls off a huge upset to rise to 25-30, while Infinity drops to 33-26 with the loss.


Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The Warriors play in their third of a four-game home stand, while the Tradewinds travel to meet them for this C-Line Derby. Tigerette had a strong showing at the start of this game, hauling in 543 to stake out a lead for Commerce. Twilight let Central down this time, contributing only 247 at the start as they will play from behind. Ice Cream had a bit of a stumble for the Tradewinds, putting up only 208 as their lead becomes a bit weaker. Dustin carved out some of the deficit with his 415 for the Warriors, keeping things close halfway through the game. Lionel once again cemented a Commerce lead, slugging 1639 in this appearance to do so while stunning the hosts at the same time. Mario had no answer for it for Central, collapsing with 57 in a pitiful outing from the rookie. Lorde also hit the ball well for the Tradewinds, striking with 515 at the end to ice their outing at 2905 total. Gizmo got beat on a deflection for the Warriors, his 232 confirming their loss at a final of 951. Commerce's big win takes them to 27-34, while Central drops down to 36-20 with the loss.


Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds won't even change out of their jerseys as they complete a doubleheader at home against their Urban Division rivals, the Union. Ms. Puppy didn't have her same instinct in this road match, picking up a middling 275 for Modernistic to lead things off. Tigerette answered with 552 for Commerce, giving them a noticeable, if not intimidating, lead. Daisy did managed to cover the deficit for the Union, but her 296 didn't give the visitors much margin for error. Ice Cream supplemented the Tradewinds lead pretty well with 503, a solid performance from the veteran. Puff I tried and failed to pluck the corner on her turn, dropping at 184 as Modernistic appears set to take a loss here. Lionel kept the Commerce offense consistent with 567 against his former team, helping the hosts to a stable lead. Strawberry tried a rally for the Union at the end, but her 487 came up short as they lost with 1242. Lorde kept her turn a bit shorter, wrapping up the Tradewinds win with 432 to give them 2054 total. Commerce is on a bit of a late surge, rising to 28-34, while Modernistic falls to 30-25.


Toyota Pitch, Freedom: After meeting just five games ago, the Cascades and Wolves clash again in an Eastern Hills Divisional south of the first match. Juno had a solid first turn for Stonebridge, swinging her way to 428 for the visitors to build upon later in the game. Jasmine couldn't match it for Freedom, settling with 320 on her opening turn for a minor deficit to the hosts. The Wolves' Frosty cranked out an even 700 on a pacey and dangerous turn, putting a wrinkle in the hosts' comeback hopes. Stinky replied with 552 for the Cascades, doing his part to minimize the damage done. Cobalt seems to be petering out as the season progresses, with only 57 for Stonebridge in this poor appearance from the rookie. Roxy easily took advantage of the opportunity presented to her, rallying with 547 to give Freedom the lead before the final players come to bat. Prism didn't make it easy for the hosts, clobbering 795 for the Wolves to set their score at 1980, forcing the hosts to respond. Nikolai accidentally knocked a ball backward after missing it on his first swing, ending his turn at 443 and the Cascades' offense at 1862. Stonebridge gets the sweep to rise to 26-34, while Freedom sinks to 19-36.


Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Torpedoes try to right their season in the fifth of a six-game home stand, while the Arrows also want a boost as they play the second of four straight on the road. Sally had good pace on her swings for Archtown, gathering 657 on the first turn for a strong start. Smudge continued her recent fade with only 271 for Infinity, putting them at an early deficit. Sleepy B. did even better for the Arrows, dealing with distractions and a cluttered pitch while pummeling 896 to extend their lead. Solaris fought back with some intent for the Torpedoes, grabbing 745 to mitigate the damage a bit. Ruby let the lead slip a bit for Archtown, getting cut down at a paltry 57 on her turn. Whiskers blasted 850 for Infinity on her turn, covering the deficit as the final players prepare to bat. Dusky shot back with 622 to bring the Arrows to 2232 overall, which forces the hosts to respond. Mr. Snowman failed to cover the deficit with 239 for the Torpedoes, leaving them at 2105 in the loss. Archtown took the intense win to go to 32-31, while Infinity drops down to 33-27 with the loss.


Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Knights return home for a pair of games now, while the Spurs play their second of a four-game road trip against a tough foe. Spice got caught, rather unexpectedly, on her backhand for Victoria, and she let the ball roll into her wicket to end her turn at 113. Kiwi fired back with 594 for Terrace City, using good pace and a strong swing to give her side a big lead. Yekaterina did a good job in covering the deficit, spraying 623 for the Spurs to retake a small lead. Jennifer belted 1030 for the Knights on the counterattack, boosting their lead at the halfway mark of the game. B. Chapman did just enough for Victoria to scrape back ahead, slashing 915 in a fierce turn for the visitors. Oreo produced a measly 51 for Terrace City, a terrible time for a bad swing as the game is close with a player each to go. Wario hit 466 for the Spurs in a solid turn, forcing the hosts to respond as his side closed with 2119. Stripes came up short with 160 for the Knights, a fifth straight home loss the result at a final of 1835. Victoria piles on here to get to 26-30, while Terrace City is 34-29 and becoming prone to infighting.


Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores return home for a single game, facing a Swifts team that has turned into a rip saw on the road. Patches put up a respectable 408 at the start for Boston, not wowing with pace or precision on her swings. Bear had a strong-looking turn going for Whitewater when a deflection cut him down at 287, giving his team a slight deficit. Puff II stayed very much in form for the Swifts, dishing out 854 to give them a stronger lead after the second attack. Twinkie III tried to hit over a dead ball, but spiked one swing right off of it, ending with just 39 for the Shores. Gradley showed no mercy to the hosts on his turn, clobbering 904 to pad the Boston lead once again. Marsell had no answer for this with 122 for Whitewater, the poor turn leaving them likely at an untouchable deficit. Sweetheart tapped only 239 for the Swifts, bringing their total to 2405 in what should be a comfortable win. Shaggy capped a pathetic team effort from the Shores with her 272, leaving them at 720 in the loss. Boston has six straight road wins to rise to 37-18, while Whitewater gets more isolated at 32-22.


Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: The Union return home for the start of a five-game home stand, while the Pilots travel to begin a three-game road trip. Valencia got things going in decent form for Golden, batting 402 on the first turn of the game. Ms. Puppy didn't have her best pace in this appearance, causing a deflection to be detrimental as she finished with 245 for Modernistic. Dusty added a nice amount to the Pilots lead with her 481, giving their lead a decent boost. Daisy put the Union on her back with a big turn, covering the deficit with 695 to make things interesting halfway through the game. Strut did even better for Golden on the counterattack, regaining a large lead with his 769. Puff I let the visitors get away, taking some poorly-timed swings as she crashed out with only 90 for Modernistic. A. Charlton tacked on another 264 for the Pilots at the end to give them 1916 overall. Strawberry couldn't complete the comeback for the Union, ending on 280 to give them 1310 total in the loss. Golden's win carries them to 37-20, while Modernistic takes a knock down to 30-26.


IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks host their second of a five-game home stand, while the Tridents open up a three-game road trip against the expansion team. Precious made sure to establish Pronger early in the game, smacking 896 on the opening turn for a large lead. Peach had a solid turn going in response until she swung and missed a ball to end with 471 for North Modernistic. Zach didn't get as much for the Tridents, taking 352 to add to their still-strong lead. Luigi made a bit of an impact, using a perfectly weighted double-tap backhand to keep his turn going. He had 430 to cut into the deficit as the Nighthawks pull a bit closer. Spot got a bit distracted on his turn, but he still swatted 504 to pad the Pronger lead. Cheddar chipped away at the deficit for North Modernistic, scattering 632 to get them closer with a player each to go. Potter can only hope his 399 is enough for the Tridents, who rest at a final score of 2151. Bright did gain ground for the Nighthawks, but the deficit was too much, and his 463 left them short at 1996. Pronger takes a nervy win to get to 30-26, while North Modernistic slips down to 29-30.


Capital City SuperCenter, Capital City: The Sharpshooters need to right the ship right now, while the Arrows are starting to roll in the third of their four-game road trip. Sally seemed to have a good pace going, but it all fell apart with a mistimed swing, and she finished at 331 for Archtown. Chris answered with a solid 307 for Capital City, keeping things close at the start of the game. Sleepy B. couldn't find a good enough pace to help the Arrows, lightly padding their lead with 274 instead. Missy crushed 1188 for the Sharpshooters in response, giving them a huge lead with the excellent appearance. Archtown is heading in the wrong direction in this game, with Ruby bowing out after a bad backhand stopped her at 162. Her lookalike, Sprinkles, replied with a big 580 to extend the Capital City lead again as she stays in excellent form. Dusky tried a late rally with 640 for the Arrows, but they fell shot at 1407 in a brutal loss. Nicole tapped 192 for the Sharpshooters to seal their winning score at 2267. Capital City is up to 30-31 for the year, while Archtown slips back to 32-32.


McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates are in desperate need of a home win, but the Swifts have been untouchable on the road lately, playing in the third of a five-game trip. Patches carved out 1031 for Boston right at the start of the game, not wanting to allow the hosts any breathing room. Delila only got a bit back for Atlantic, grabbing 329 on a typically acceptable turn. Puff II had the pace to put the game away for the Swifts, but a deflection stalled her at 383. Isabella actually lost a bit of ground with 363 for the Pirates, although they are far behind either way at the midway mark. Gradley launched another 886 for Boston on his turn, extending their lead to a likely unreachable level once again. Americus made a convincing counterattack with 733 for Atlantic, but they lost ground once again despite the nice effort. Sweetheart couldn't get her turn to connect, with a false start and then just 63 on the replay after a failed backhand. The Swifts close at 2363. Klaus did not complete the comeback for the Pirates, his 402 setting their losing final at 1827. Boston has won seven straight on the road to get to 38-18, while Atlantic is down to 33-27 with the loss.


Microsoft Pitch, Del Sur: The Monarchs and Volcanoes clash in the Burnt Red Derby, a Coastal Divisional, that will bring an end to Week 29. Starlight kept to her recent form, batting 433 for Pacific to open the game with a solid foundation. Panda kept Southern close with a crisply hit 416 on his turn, the deficit practically negligible at this stage of the game. Ms. Kitty brought a bit more firepower on the second attack, flicking 600 to pad the Volcanoes lead nicely. Hoppy couldn't keep her swing on target out of excitement, faltering at 64 as the Monarchs fall deep behind. Leonette couldn't settle one of her swings, sending it too high to end her turn at 184 as Pacific isn't out of danger yet. Pounce made only incremental progress for Southern on his turn, a deflected ball distracting him from the offering that downed him at 190. Chicky Phil provided a bit more support with 448 for the Volcanoes, sealing their score at 1665 total. Shannon only managed 186 for the Monarchs, leaving them at a loss with 856 total. Pacific gets the jump to 37-19, while Southern is down to 20-31 with the loss.

That's all for this week. @UnitedPCL on Twitter will have a standings update link and Players of the Week named by the end of the night.
