Premier Cricket 2018 - Week 13

Premier makes its delayed start to week 13 on Saturday with four games, and the remaining eight to be played Sunday. Leading off...


Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades begin a home doubleheader to lead off week 13, leaving Jason N. on the bench in the first one, while A. Charlton sits for the visiting Pilots. Valencia popped 603 for Golden on the opening turn, getting them started in great form. Snowball had a pitiful 90 for Swordpoint in response, hardly impacting their newfound deficit. Dusty covered that damage a little too snugly with a mere 98 for the Pilots on the second attack. Dreamy cut into the deficit with a good 378 for the Blades, getting them a little closer to on track. Strut kept Golden in a nosedive, hitting a pathetic 48 on his turn as their lead weakens again. The scoring got worse as Bandit hit an absolutely horrendous 3 points for Swordpoint. Sparkles managed just 49 for the Pilots this time, ending their pitiful offense at 799, which may actually be enough in this sorry game. Stealth pushed with 267 for the Blades, giving them a total of 738 in the loss. Golden escapes with one of the ugliest wins in any division, going to 17-11 while Swordpoint will need to erase that game from memory quickly as they fall to 14-15.


Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades try to correct course with their captain Snowball on the bench, while the Knights leave Jennifer out of the lineup in the third of a four-game road trip. Kiwi had a rocky 171 for Terrace City at the start of this game. Dreamy established Swordpoint with a much stronger 856, giving them a big early lead. Oreo couldn't get the Knights off of the ground, falling at 117 in a weak second attack. Bandit made up for his previous outing with a confident 595 for the Blades this time, padding their lead significantly. Melissa had only 167 for Terrace City, falling in line with their other disappointing performances in this game. Stealth tapped 312 for Swordpoint, fully confident in their ability to hold on in the final turn. Quincy failed to pull his bat back in time, falling at a pathetic 69 for the Knights as they take a loss on 524. Jason N. tacked on 822 for the Blades at the end, sealing their easy win at 2585. Swordpoint shows two sides in two games, returning to an even 15-15 record, while Terrace City dips to 10-13, straddling the drop zone line.


Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The shorthanded Tridents are set to host a Predators team that has their captain Shawn on the bench for this game. Rainmane did well on the opening turn for Midland, batting 495 to establish their offense pretty well. Precious answered with 770 for Pronger, giving the hosts a slight edge initially that she hopes will be well-supported. Leonardo shot back with 615 for the Predators to cover the deficit on the second attack. Zach hit 409 for the Tridents on his turn, losing a bit of the grip on their lead halfway through the game. Americus posted 783 for Midland on this attack, giving them a strong lead now. Spot got some of it back with 463 for Pronger, but they are now behind with a player each to go. Fuchsia struck a solid 544 for the Predators at the end, icing their offense at 2437. Potter grabbed 368, not enough to avoid the loss as the Tridents fall with 2010. Midland rose to the challenge, going to 11-13 on the year, while Pronger sinks further at 6-11.


Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes decide to sit Chicky Phil after the whole team had a rough outing the last game, while the Knights bench Quincy in the finale of their four-game road trip. Kiwi posted 487 for Terrace City, already an improvement over her previous outing. Starlight was much weaker with 176 for Pacific at the start, giving the hosts an early deficit. Jennifer flicked 279 for the Knights, taking replays for a technical error and a false start before a flurry of activity on her third try. Ms. Kitty got some of it back with 408 for the Volcanoes, but they are still behind. Oreo supplied 384 for Terrace City on her turn, keeping their lead firm for now. Twinkie I couldn't catch Pacific up with 153 on a poor turn, making the deficit pretty sizable with a player each to go. Melissa knocked 391 for the Knights, putting their total at 1541. Leonette hauled in 475 for the Volcanoes with good pace, but they took the loss at 1212. Terrace City has some magic against Pacific, with the former at 11-13 and the latter falling to 10-14.


Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents take the field at home again, facing an Eagles team with Blizzard on the bench for this one-off road game. Goldy hit a solid 466 for Everton on the opening turn, establishing their offense fairly well at the start. Precious tried to zip a ball but ended up clipping the next offering, deflecting the first out of play to end with 231 for Pronger. Puff III had a cluttered pitch near the end of her turn, and it caused her to bow out at 351 for the Eagles. Zach answered with 389 for the Tridents, making minor progress against the deficit. Cleo took control for Everton, lining 627 to extend their lead to a position of greater strength. Spot had only 144 for Pronger this time, drastically reducing their chances for a comeback. Kirstin slid 231 for the Eagles at the end, giving them a final score of 1675 overall. Potter collapsed with 181 for the Tridents, leaving them short at 945. Everton claims the easy win to go to 12-12, while Pronger is down to 6-12 and losing ground rapidly.


Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes will try to break their slump with Twinkie I taking some time on the bench, while Stealth sits for a much stronger Blades team. Snowball led off with an awkward 295 for Swordpoint, not quite looking comfortable with the bat. Starlight saw her pace crumble early, but she rebuilt it and found 767 for Pacific to give them a sizable initial lead. Dreamy slugged 1085 in response for the Blades, pulling them ahead on a feisty second attack. Ms. Kitty slipped up on one of her swings, and it allowed the next offering to get behind her, ending her effort at 296 for the Volcanoes. Bandit faltered with 104 for Swordpoint this time, re-opening the door for the hosts to make a comeback. Leonette wasted the opportunity with a pitiful 54 for Pacific, drawing the ire of the fans and her teammates. Jason N. tacked on 296 at the end for the Blades, their final sitting at 1780. Chicky Phil chunked his turn at 101 for the Volcanoes, leaving them in a frustrating loss at 1218. Swordpoint rises to 16-15 now, while Pacific sinks again to 10-15, losing ground on the Hutton Cup zone.


Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Stills sit Anton for a second consecutive game in this critical meeting with the Shores, who have Marsell on the bench this time. Easter belted 1151 for Todavía to lead off this game, immediately pressuring the hosts. Bear fell at 256 for Whitewater, misplaying the ball on his last swing to produce the mediocre effort. Sierra followed up with 523 for the Stills on the second attack, adding a nice chunk of offense to their lead. Twinkie III picked up 440 for the Shores in response, but they lost ground at the halfway mark. Bells hammered 786 for Todavía, keeping their offense incredibly strong as they extend the lead again. Katharine held her own with 400 for Whitewater, but they are almost assured of a loss in this one. Prism flipped 448 for the Stills at the end, capping their strong outing at 2908. Shaggy had 392 for the Shores, leaving them in a loss at 1488. Todavía gets a much-needed big win, going to 12-17 while dragging Whitewater down to 12-13.


HP Field, Midland: The Predators take the opportunity to rest Americus in this game, meeting the shorthanded Tridents for the second time this week. Precious couldn't get her offense off the ground, hitting only 189 to lead off Pronger's five-game road trip. Shawn answered with a massive 1228 for Midland, the great attack giving the hosts a significant lead. Zach picked up 392 for the Tridents in response, denting the deficit in a minor way. Rainmane covered the damage easily with 451 for the Predators, and if not for a bad swing, she would have had much more. Spot countered with 472 for Pronger, his best effort in awhile, but they have a long way to go to catch up. Leonardo faltered with a meager 66 for Midland, but their lead is not yet in danger of being approached. Potter covered the deficit with 837 for the Tridents, giving them the lead at a final score of 1890. Fuchsia took the threat seriously, rallying to 650 for the Predators to snag another win at a final of 2395. Midland sweeps the two game set this week, rising to 12-13, while Pronger is now 6-13.


Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores face a much stronger challenge against the Swifts in this game. Ice Cream sits for the visitors, while the hosts bench their captain Bear. Patches had a great pace going, but a deflection shuttered her offense at 119 for Boston in a poor start. Twinkie III has done better before, taking only 250 to give Whitewater a small lead early on. Puff II made a mess of her turn with only 17 for the Swifts, bumping a ball over her wicket and out of play. Marsell couldn't handle a series of deflections, bailing at 200 as the Shores maintain a small lead. Gradley finally tore the game open with 1056 for Boston, pulling the visitors far ahead with the effort. Katharine fired back with 730 for Whitewater, keeping things close heading into the final players' turns. Sweetheart snagged 631 for the Swifts on her turn, setting their final score at 1823. Shaggy got beat on a deflection at 66 for the Shores, leaving them at a loss with 1246. Boston gets a late push to rise to 24-3, while Whitewater drops to 12-14.


Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes sit Leonette in this Generations Derby game, their fourth of five straight at home, while the Pilots sit Dusty after a spate of rough outings recently. Valencia put together a solid turn with 487 for Golden, starting their offense pretty well. Starlight returned to a lack of offense with only 145 for Pacific, done in by a tough deflection. Strut supplied another 375 for the Pilots on the second attack, building their lead up a bit more. Ms. Kitty gained ground with 499 for the Volcanoes, but they remain behind at the midway mark. Sparkles recovered from a particularly rough outing last time to club 602 for Golden here, extending their lead. Twinkie I grabbed only 240 for Pacific, hurting their comeback chances late in the game. A. Charlton padded the lead with another 655 for the Pilots, icing their offense at 2119. Chicky Phil had only 231 for the Volcanoes, leaving them in a loss at 1115. Golden shows their mettle as the second-place team, rising to 18-11, while Pacific drops to 10-16.


Apple Park, Todavía: The Tridents continue with the same lineup without an option, while the Stills will sit Anton again, currently pleased with the starting roster they have. Precious plucked 447 for Pronger at the start of the game, a decent effort from the tired captain. Easter had only 296 for Todavía to open their scoring, giving them a slight deficit on the initial turn. Zach got distracted and fell with 186 for the Tridents, weakening their lead quite a bit with the poor second attack. Sierra took advantage of that with 575 for the Stills, pulling them ahead halfway through the game. Spot had a false start on his first try, but only gained 20 for Pronger on the second attempt. Bells showed no mercy, lifting Todavía higher with 719 on a firm attack. Potter went with 598 for the Tridents, but his good effort was wasted in the loss at 1251. Prism poked 259 to ice the Stills win at 1849. Todavía has shown strength lately, rising to 13-17, while Pronger's slow collapse continues at 6-14.


Chevrolet Center, Everton: The Eagles make a tough choice to rest Cleo in this game, while the Rockers put Slinks on the bench despite a recent uptick in her scoring. Misty had only 117 for Westside on the opening turn, a slow start from the visiting captain. Everton replied with 465 from Goldy on her lead-off turn, giving the hosts the initial lead. Goatee couldn't keep her swing under control for the Rockers, falling early at 128, which isn't enough to cover the deficit. Puff III got beat on a deflection at a measly 54 for the Eagles, weakening their lead halfway through the low-scoring game. Midnight picked up 328 for Westside on this turn, pulling them closer to matching the deficit. Kirstin shot back with 388 for Everton, keeping them in the lead with a player each to go. Cowzart forced a response with 368 for the Rockers, capping their offense at 941. Blizzard shut things down with 643 for the Eagles, giving them the win at 1550. Everton jumps to 13-12, while Westside is down to 12-16.

That's all for this week's games. Week 14 will be interrupted due to personal commitments on a minimum of one day, which will also affect Tournament play. Team of the Week and standings will follow shortly on Twitter @UnitedPCL.
