Dusty couldn't do much damage against her sister's team, falling at 333 for the Pilots, who retain a decent lead.

Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores complete their tripleheader with Katharine getting scheduled rest, while the Eagles sit Puff III for their first road game this year.

Snowball tried to go on an answering rally for Swordpoint, but she fell short with 232 as they'll start from behind instead. Sierra churned out another 770 for the Stills on her turn, extending their advantage by a significant margin. Bandit turned things around with 1383 for the Blades, making things pretty close at the midway mark. Prism tried her lucky with cutting things close to the boundary and it failed on her second push, as she closed with 160 when it clipped the corner, endangering the Todavía lead. Stealth almost pulled off an epic backhand, but it flew out of bounds to down him at 563 for Swordpoint, as the hosts take the late lead. Anton had only 267 for the Stills at the end, leaving them at a loss with 2076, wasting the stars' first really good game. Jason N. had only 177 for the Blades, but it was enough to cap their win at 2355. Swordpoint rises to 3-1, while Todavía's busy early schedule sees them at 2-5.

Oreo hauled in a nice 633 for Terrace City, giving them the lead for now after showing up strong. Whitewater's rookie Katharine looked primed to meet the challenge until a ball hit her bat handle and bounced out of play to end her turn at 224, leaving the hosts slightly behind. Quincy went to his backhand to deal with a deflected ball, but he soon got beat at 208 for the Knights, leaving their final score at 1518, far from safe.

Valencia pretty much doubled that with 299 for Golden, giving them a mild lead after the first turn. Her boyfriend, Gradley, had his worst game of the year with 131 for the Swifts, unusual for the reliable veteran. Dusty answered with 352 for the Pilots, extending their lead mildly in another grinding battle between these two teams. Sweetheart had to take the optional replay after a rough first attempt, and the second try yielded 448 for Boston, covering the deficit by a thin margin. Strut was frustrated by a poor swing that he had to compensate for, only grabbing 120 for Golden on the play that sees them narrowly retain the lead before the final players' turns. Ice Cream snagged another 522 for the Swifts on her turn, putting their final score at 1245. Sparkles had only 176 for the Pilots, with the hosts falling to a loss at 947.
