Goldy didn't falter this time for Everton, standing her ground to strike 696, getting the hosts quite close initially. Ms. Kitty didn't give a lot of cover for the Volcanoes, posting 271 as their lead takes a bit of damage. Puff III did enough with 378 to put the Eagles in front at the midway mark in a still-close game.
