Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige are without Katelynn again in game 3 as they try to dig out of a deep deficit against the Swifts, who will rest their captain Patches. Puff II shrugged off a sluggish start for Boston, slapping 831 once she got comfortable to set the tone immediately. Acorn got beat on a deflection at 58 for Lighton, hardly making any impact against the deficit. Gradley fired off 706 for the Swifts, finding a comfortable and successful groove on his turn. Spirit answered with 671 for the Prestige, doing enough to nearly offset the most recent damage. Sweetheart slugged 1049 for Boston on her turn, keeping them firmly ahead as the game progresses. Nicole continued to give Lighton a respectable attack with her 610, but the deficit also continues to grow against them. Ice Cream tallied 420 for the Swifts at the end, icing their offense at 3006 in a likely win. Waluigi did well with 487 for the Prestige, but that wasn't enough when they lost at 1826. Boston has a commanding 3-0 series lead and shows no signs of slowing down with a sweep opportunity available.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds return home and will rest Brownie after her pool appearances, while the Predators sit a slumping Rainmane as they look to extend their series lead.

Toyota Pitch, Freedom: Hutton Cup action hits the far east when the Cascades sit Nikolai against the Pilots, who will go without Sparkles in a critical game 3 for both sides. Valencia's recent struggles persisted as she had only 24 for Golden to begin this game. Jasmine didn't get as big of an attack as she would have liked, ending on 352 to put Freedom ahead decently. Dusty had two false starts before submitting a pathetic 66 that has the Pilots in panic mode already.

Charlton put in a good effort with 557 for the Pilots, their final resting at 1193 in the loss. Stripes had a modest 233 for the Cascades, icing their win at 1470.

Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns have their most consistent attacker, Jeremias, on the bench, but the Eagles are resting Cleo at the same time as one team will gain an advantage. Goldy looked alright for Everton, a couple of close calls going her way as she recorded 463 to start the game. Kayla answered with 665 for Royal on their first turn, pulling the hosts ahead initially. Puff III fumbled her way to 129 for the Eagles, showing no confidence on her swings. Jake looked just as bad with only 105 for the Crowns on their second attack, weakening their lead a little bit. Kirstin couldn't help the cause for Everton, sending a ball high out of play at 115 to stall their comeback. Nightfur made a small gain with 288 for Royal, padding their lead slightly with a player each to go. Blizzard shelved 431 for the Eagles, forcing a response from the hosts to the visitors' finale score of 1138. Cassie did enough with 162 for the Crowns, capping their narrow win at 1220. Royal wins ugly to pull ahead 2-1 in the series.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: Both teams keep their lineups from game 2 for game 3, with the hosts sitting Solaris and the visitors benching Wings, rest factoring in for both players. Twilight stayed on pace from the last game with 467 for Central, a solid opener from the captain. Smudge answered with 519 for Infinity, playing at a low pace but doing enough to gain the lead. Dustin went to his backhand for the Warriors when a ball skipped up, and this caused his exit at just 93 points. Fluffina kept the Torpedoes aggressive with 735 on their second attack to create a large lead. Mario regained 423 for Central on his turn, but they remain significantly behind at this point. Shelley had a huge pace and tallied 572 for Infinity this time, extending their lead again. Noelle collapsed at 64 points for the Warriors, leaving them in a loss with 1047.

McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates have Klaus on the bench again for more rest, while the Shores will sit Marsell out of both games 3 and 4. Bear got off to a strong start with 428 for Whitewater, giving them something to build on later in the game. Delila lined 737 for Atlantic, clearly enjoying the comforts of home as the hosts hold a decent lead. Twinkie III fired back with 482 for the Shores, doing her part to cover the deficit lightly on the second attack. Isabella fought that off with 776 for the Pirates, giving them a stronger lead midway through the game. Katharine fell at 159 for Whitewater, damaging their chances of a comeback with the weak turn. Steven struck another 584 for Atlantic on his turn, keeping their lead commanding late in the game. Shaggy couldn't mount a comeback for the Shores, leaving them with a loss with 297 individually for 1366 total. Max had a sloppy 87 for the Pirates, but it was plenty to take the win at a total of 2184. Atlantic's great offense takes them to a 2-1 series lead.
GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders see their lead-off hitter Bianca take the bench, while the visiting Blades are once again without their captain Snowball.

Debby answered with 535 for Southridge, a strong start to give the hosts a nice lead at first. Bandit hit 307 for the Blades, barely covering the deficit facing them with the alright appearance. Stephanie answered with 312 for the Defenders, keeping their lead steady at the halfway point.
