UPCL Cricket - Week 33 Part 2

We're back with the middle segment of this week's games, and we're leading off with a big one here, as...


Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: Both teams are ending their Urban Division play in this meeting, which will have a big effect on playoff positioning. Bear didn't look his most comfortable for Whitewater, but he produced well with 560 to start them off in good shape. Ms. Puppy couldn't quite get it all back for Modernistic, playing well at first but ending when a ball got behind her to end her turn at 481. Twinkie III had a bit of a down turn personally, grabbing 288 for the Shores to lightly pad their lead. Daisy did just enough with 375 for the Union to cover the deficit at the halfway point of the game. Marsell had to clear a cluster for Whitewater, his long swing catching him out of position as a ball flew over his bat to hit his wicket, downing him at 380. Puff I went a bit light with 287 for Modernistic, putting them behind again with a player each to go. Shaggy stepped up at the right time with 506 for the Shores, helping them finish with 1734 overall. Strawberry surged out of nowhere with 742 to give the Union 1885 in their comeback win. Modernistic is up to 33-29, while Whitewater is 36-23 after the loss, but with a massive schedule remaining.


Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents are back home for a quick game, facing a Specters team beginning a pair of road games. Sydney hit well leading off for Harrison this time, although her last swing was too slow and she ended at 604 for the turn. Precious only got 353 back for Pronger on the counterattack, just losing control too early for her liking. Twinkie II couldn't place her swing well enough for the Specters, crashing out at a poor 32 on this turn. Zach covered the deficit with a modest 331 for the Tridents, the game becoming quite close at the midway mark. Lexi fired back with a solid 408 for Harrison, restoring a smaller lead for the visitors with her solid performance. Spot got wiped out by an unlucky pair of deflections, halting his turn at just 202 for Pronger, who trail late in the game. Sugar didn't pull away as much as she wanted to for the Specters, taking a mild 271 to put their final score at 1315. Potter needed more pace than he got for the Tridents, ending on 378 to put them at a loss with 1264 in the end. Harrison's upset carries them up to 27-38, while Pronger is down to 34-29 with the loss.


Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: The Union finish a quick pair of home games in a huge bubble battle, while the Surfers begin their final pair of road games this season. Watermelon had the right idea but poor execution for Pearl on her turn, hitting 306 in an acceptable start. Ms. Puppy didn't have much for pace either, but she lasted all the way to 595 for Modernistic to earn the early lead. Neopolitan shot back with 679 for the Surfers on a great turn, putting them ahead for now. Daisy upped the stakes quite a bit for the Union, crushing 1049 in a wonderful turn to give them a huge lead. Boots countered with a crisp 568 for Pearl, unable to reach the deficit on her strong turn, which puts the visitors in danger. Puff I didn't quite break out for Modernistic, but she added 352 to stabilize their lead a bit late in the game. Wings put in a good challenge with 392 for the Surfers, but they came up short at 1945, taking a critical loss. Strawberry didn't go too far, just icing the Union win with 249 to give them 2245 overall. Modernistic rises to 34-29 now, while Pearl sinks to 35-31, two games ahead of 17th with four games to go.


Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The Rockers are making a one-off trip to the east for this game, while the Cascades get their last home game before their season finale. Misty got off to a decent start for Westside, going at a solid pace to put up 408 on the initial turn. Jasmine had quite the rough start for Freedom in this appearance, only able to accumulate 128 to start her team off. Goatee had an awful appearance for the Rockers, taking a pathetic 24 on the second attack to weaken their lead. Stinky wasted the opportunity to help the Cascades catch up, producing a paltry 96 instead in this low-scoring game. Midnight wanted a replay for excessive distractions, but it was not granted, and she accepted 353 for Westside. Roxy kept Freedom's offense embarrassingly low with her 112, likely erasing any chance of a comeback. Slinks managed only 194 with an awful pace, leaving the Rockers at 979 total. Nikolai went on a rally with 615 for the Cascades, but they still took the loss at 951 overall in a bad game for both teams. Westside is lucky to rise to 43-21, while Freedom dips to 23-41.


Amazon Field, Golden: The Pilots begin their final pair of home games, while the Tridents start a three-game road trip against playoff teams in a pivotal stretch of the season. Precious was not the one to bring the offense back, as she picked up a weak 192 to lead things off for Pronger. Valencia broke the dam on scoring for Golden, slugging 1047 to put them far ahead initially in this game. Zach provided a solid 408 for the Tridents on their second turn, cutting into the deficit a little bit as well. Dusty got most of it back with 361 for the Pilots, keeping their lead strong halfway through the game. Spot made a bit more progress on his turn for Pronger, slicing 487 as he pulls the visitors closer. Strut cancelled out that effort for Golden as well, swatting 495 to once again steady their lead late in the game. Potter fell far short with 84 for the Tridents, leaving them at a brutal loss with 1171. A. Charlton emphatically closed the game for the Pilots with her 534, bringing their winning total to 2437. Golden's big win puts them up at 44-23, while Pronger is 34-30 with the loss in this appearance.


Home Depot Forum, Web City: The Spiders wrap up a pair of home games, while the Predators close a four-game road trip in this game. Shawn cranked out 858 for Midland on the opening turn, an excellent performance to stake out their early lead. Shadow didn't let him get too far away, showing his strong offense once again by churning out 697 for Web City to keep it close. Rainmane added some solid padding for the Predators with her 423, keeping their lead intact for now. Ted successfully used his backhand under pressure early for the Spiders, but his next swing failed and he ended at 16 points only. Leonardo pummeled another 784 for Midland on his turn, adding nicely to their large lead. Shiny actually gained ground for Web City after a remarkable turn, smashing 1028 to bring them a little closer with a player each to go. Fuchsia set the bar pretty high with another 722 for the Predators, giving them a final of 2787. Dani dribbled just 16 for the Spiders at the end, leaving them with 1757 in the loss. Midland rises to 40-25, while dumping Web City down to 30-33 with the loss.


BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers open up their last four-game home stand of the year, while the Sharks are the first team to have any sort of finale, this derby being their last road game. Chelsea served up a massive 862 for Eastside in this appearance, giving them a huge foundation. Misty kept her pace high but fell out of rhythm and stalled at 414 for Westside, putting them behind at the start. Taylor did well enough to cover that damage for the Sharks with 420, keeping their lead strong. Goatee made some progress with 633 for the Rockers this time, cutting into the deficit. Niki faltered at 176 for Eastside, destabilizing their lead at a bad time for such a thing to occur. Midnight wasted the opportunity to catch up for Westside, poking a simple 200 to make only minor progress. Paps put the Sharks on the right track again with 512, giving them a final of 1970 for the game. Slinks couldn't even cancel that out, her average 361 leaving the Rockers in a loss with 1608. Eastside gets their revenge for the series, improving to 30-38, while bumping Westside down to 43-22 in the disappointing loss.


Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: Southwestern rivals clash in this game, with the Spurs opening a five-game road trip against their northern neighbors, the Prestige. Spice looked to be building her attack with pace for Victoria, but an errant swing brought her down at 243, a mediocre result. Acorn didn't have as strong of a pace, but he edged Lighton ahead with his 256, creating a close start to the game. Yekaterina blew the game wide open on her turn, drilling 907 to put the Spurs well ahead. Spirit answered with just as much force for the Prestige, ripping 837 to keep things close at the midway mark. B. Chapman collected 348 in a decent turn for Victoria, adding a bit to their lead. Twinkie I lacked pace on her turn for Lighton, unable to keep up with her mark as she added 279 to their offense, widening the deficit. Wario popped up with a big performance for the Spurs, tacking on 748 to bring their final score to 2246. Salmo tried to make a rally for the Prestige, but his 566 left them short at 1938. Victoria's big win takes them to 29-33, while Lighton is 29-39 on the year and 3-7 in the division.


GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders are back at home for a game, meeting another team already out of the hunt as the Hummingbirds come to town. Princess put up a pretty good first attack for Tysini, establishing their offense with a strong 578 in the lead-off role. Bianca didn't have much pace after a messy first turn, but her perfect backhand flick allowed her to scrounge up 307 for Southridge. Leandra efficiently matched that for the Hummingbirds, plucking 312 to add to their score. Debby lost ground for the Defenders with only 177 on her turn, making the deficit worse at the halfway mark. Charli floundered for much of her turn, eventually crashing out at a bad 150 for Tysini as their lead weakens. Stephanie tried to pull back for Southridge, and she gained a little ground with her 312, but the deficit remains significant. Brownie went with a good 400 for the Hummingbirds as their final attack, putting them at 1440 overall. Hughbert made a good attempt at a rally with 566 for the Defenders, but they still lost with 1362. Tysini gets a boost to 26-38, while Southridge is 25-41 on the year.


Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The Arrows are at home for the third of a four-game home stand, while the Union begin their final road trip, a five-game stretch that will define their season. Ms. Puppy found herself disappointed with a middling turn of 206 for Modernistic at the start of the game. Sally gave the visiting captain a huge let-off, as her third swing was deflected out to end her turn at 16 for Archtown. Daisy slashed a much stronger 697 for the Union on the second attack, giving their lead more stability. Sleepy B. was too aggressive on her backhand save attempt for the Arrows, ending at 376 instead as they trail more significantly now. Puff I suffered an unfortunate deflection to end her turn at 231 for Modernistic, keeping her in a bit of a slump. Ruby made a little bit of progress with 361 for Archtown, but they remain far behind as the final players come to bat. Strawberry swung and missed on about three balls all at once to end at 117 for the Union, giving them a final of 1251. Dusky made a great push forward with 487 for the Arrows, but fell short for a total of 1240 in a narrow loss. Modernistic advances to 35-29, while Archtown slips to 32-36 with the loss.


IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks must win to stay alive in the playoff hunt, and they face a Monarchs team out of the fight with nothing to lose. Panda continued a strong run of recent road form by striking 564 for Southern to begin the scoring in this game. Peach covered the deficit for North Modernistic, impressing the fans with a steady turn of 603 to take the early lead. Hoppy replied with a crisp 499 for the Monarchs, doing her part to restore a smaller lead to the visitors. Luigi got too absorbed with drilling balls to the 6s, and he ended up mishitting one to end with 185 for the Nighthawks, erasing their lead. Pounce did well to use his backhand for Southern, saving his turn and allowing him to hit 411 to extend their lead. Cheddar made a bit more progress for North Modernistic, swinging her way to 515 to get them a bit closer before the final players' turns. Shannon's making a late season push to go out on a good note, hauling in 521 this time to end their offense at 1995. Bright made a good attempt with 455 for the Nighthawks, but they're done at 1758 and a loss. Southern is up to 27-35, while North Modernistic is out at 30-37.


Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Meteors play their second of three straight at home, while a busy segment sees the Union play their second of five straight on the road. Ms. Puppy seems to be having some road offense struggles, taking only 312 to begin this game. Mams made quite the impact for Viewpoint Sound in response, belting 694 to give them a sizable lead. Daisy failed to cover the deficit for the Union, contributing an acceptable 324 on her turn instead. Hoot powered the Meteors a bit more, clobbering 726 to grow their lead at the halfway mark of the game. Puff I shook her head as she left with 196 for Modernistic, their heavy schedule this week clearly catching up to them on the road. Nibbles provided another big attack for Viewpoint Sound, padding their lead with his 592. Strawberry had only 327 for the Union, far from enough to cover the deficit as they lose with 1159 this time. Dominic chipped 258 at the end for the Meteors, bringing their winning total up to 2270. Viewpoint Sound pulled off the upset here, rising to 27-40, while Modernistic falls to 35-30.

That's all for tonight. We hope to finish Week 33 tomorrow, as well as the City Cup, before a weekend off.
