HP Field, Midland: The Predators are back home for a pair of games, while the Tridents play their second of a three-game road trip in this battle for positioning. Precious couldn't handle a persistent distraction for Pronger, crashing out at just 74 points on the opening turn. Shawn took full advantage of the opportunity, crushing 1071 to put Midland far ahead after the first turns. Zach countered with 432 for the Tridents in a solid attempt to mitigate the damage done against his team.

Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores begin a stretch of 11 games in two league weeks, while the Spurs play three of the next four games, all to end a five-game road trip.

Bear did enough with his 448 for Whitewater to put the hosts ahead initially by a small margin. Yekaterina had an unusually weak turn for the Spurs with just 87, barely covering the deficit. Twinkie III showed off a powerful swing but a lack of longevity for the Shores, adding 350 to their offense. B.

Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds are back home for a pair of games, while the Spurs wrap their doubleheader up with the fourth of a five-game road trip. Spice tried to keep Victoria going well, but her 333 leaves them feeling a bit disappointed as the scoring woes persist. Princess couldn't clear a ball off of her backhand in time to make contact with the next one, ending at 560 in a strong start for Tysini. Yekaterina's road slump continued to a new low with only a pitiful 28 for the Spurs this time. Leandra lost control of her swing at the end, but she hauled in 405 to extend the Hummingbirds lead. B. Chapman lost more ground for Victoria on her turn, scoring a mediocre 234 as the game gets out of hand. Charli had a strong and positive outing for Tysini on her turn, churning her way to 558 to pad the lead once again. Wario sealed the Spurs' fate in this game with an accidental hit backwards on his backswing, leaving his turn at 270 and their total at 865.

Twilight got jammed on her final swing to end at 371 for Central, keeping them within range early on. Jennifer slugged a massive 1336 for the Knights, boosting their lead significantly with the second attack. Dustin tried to make a counterattack for the Warriors, but ended with a decent 448, too little to make an impact. Oreo ran another supporting attack for Terrace City, pummeling 695 to boost their lead again. Mario grabbed a simple 400 for Central in response, trying to get to the end of the game without embarrassment. Stripes poked 215 more for the Knights at the end, setting their final score at 2733.

Amazon Field, Golden: The Pilots end their home schedule for the season when they host the Spurs, who are closing a five-game road trip in this appearance.

Valencia tried to keep it close for Golden, striking 512 in a good response despite the early deficit. Yekaterina didn't do as well for the Spurs, hitting 352, but she's broken out of the deepest part of her road slump. Dusty made very marginal progress with 377 for the Pilots, shrinking the deficit very slightly. B. Chapman gave the Victoria lead a bit more strength on her turn, slicing 488 to pad the lead at a critical point in the game. Strut took a very awkward swing at a ball just out of his range, which he poked up and out of play to end on a meager 81 for Golden. Wario failed to make a big impact for the Spurs, taking 256 to put them at 1756 for the game, which require the hosts to do some work. A. Charlton made a valiant effort with 599 for the Pilots, but they took the loss at 1569 overall. Victoria's upset moves them to 31-35, while Golden is 44-24, and finishes 21-14 at home for the year.
Capital City SuperCenter, Capital City: The Sharpshooters hope to keep their playoff dream alive, but the Spiders want to keep theirs going and spoil their hosts' chances at the same time.

Chris shot back with 744 for Capital City, the firm performance lifting the hosts ahead initially.

Delila belted 1074 for Atlantic on her opening turn, giving the hosts a large lead initially. Daisy slipped with 184 for the Union, barely denting the deficit now facing her side. Isabella actually weakened the Pirates lead with a pathetic 37 on her turn, but they remain ahead at the halfway mark.
