GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders have an unenviable three games over the first four of the week, with Debby sitting against a Tridents team resting Spot. Precious started with a fierce 833 for Pronger, the captain continuing her long productive stretch in this appearance. Bianca had a better pace but she fell quicker too, ending with 575 for Southridge on the first turn. Zach clubbed 668 for the Tridents on the second attack, doing well in padding their lead. Stephanie couldn't find a better pace for the Defenders, exiting at an alright 376. Potter faded a bit with 274 for Pronger, but their lead remains fairly safe. Wario chipped a swing high at the end of his turn, gaining only a small amount with his 326. Lize kept a conservative swing for the Tridents, tallying 520 to give them a total of 2295. Caitlin had a modest 308 for the Defenders, confirming their loss at 1585. Pronger is back to winning at 8-4, while Southridge's winless stretch has them at 0-8.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Crowns will sit Brownie after a recent poor performance, while the Stills elect to rest Bells for this meeting. Ruby picked up 379 for Todavía in a rather pedestrian start for the veteran. Kayla shot back with 553 for Royal on the first turn, giving them the initial lead in a game that could still go either way. Sierra had a rough outing with only 308 for the Stills, far lower than her usual team-leading performances. Jake had a low pace at first, but he found his way to 650 for the Crowns, giving them a stable lead at the midway point. Easter tried to rally Todavía back into the game, but she left with 441, unable to cover the visitors' deficit. Nightfur slapped another 644 for Royal, extending their lead heading into the final turn. Prism had the chance to do well, but her 341 left the Stills short at 1469 in the loss. Cassie had a steady 397 for the Crowns at the end, capping their win at 2244. Royal is up to 2-9, but that's still far back of the next closest team, the 2-4 Todavía squad.
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Defenders take their show on the road without Wario, while the league-leading Knights rest Kiwi for this meeting. Bianca lifted 600 for Southridge on the first turn of the game, showing a bit of fight despite their winless status. Jennifer attacked relentlessly for Terrace City, smashing 902 to give the hosts a lead. Debby had 357 for the Defenders to lightly cover the deficit, putting them in a vulnerable spot. Oreo added a bit more to the Knights lead with 450 on her turn, keeping them noticeably ahead at the halfway mark. Stephanie had a little too much energy for Southridge, popping a ball up to end with 258 on her turn. Quincy persisted with 725 for Terrace City, giving their lead a significant boost with a player each to go. Caitlin couldn't save the game with 361 for the Defenders, sending them to another loss at 1576. Melissa had a pacey 414 to cap the Knights' win at 2491. Terrace City is up to 10-2 this season, while Southridge drops to 0-9 with another game on the way.
GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders quickly return home and give Caitlin a game off to cycle through their roster, while the visiting Waves sit Jason V. Snuggle posted 531 for Oceanside in a positive opening turn for the second-place side. Bianca's good run of form came to a close with a mediocre 249 for Southridge this time, the heavy schedule weighing on the youngster. Celestia barely outplayed her cousin with 272 for the Waves, keeping things fairly steady. Debby got some of the deficit back with 450 for the Defenders, but they remain behind for now. Josie pushed 595 for Oceanside on an impressive turn to help the visitors strengthen their lead. Stephanie appeared sharp at first, but a desperate save ruined her pace and she bowed out at only 267 for Southridge. Dewey supplied another 537 for the Waves at the end, producing their final score of 1935. Wario couldn't come close for the Defenders, his 298 leaving them at 1264 in another loss.

Violetta has yet to really sustain a breakout at lead-off for Queens, hitting a simple 321 this time. Starlight fired back with a crisp 515 for Pacific, giving her team a slight edge early on. Briana hit 352 for the Flames in a reasonable turn to cover the deficit. Ms. Kitty showed some fatigue with 292 for the Volcanoes, causing them to lose a bit of their lead at the halfway point. Mario kept things close with 341 for Queens, edging them ahead at least temporarily. Twinkie I lost more ground for Pacific, her pacey start going to waste on a high hit that stalled her at 235.

Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: Sierra will sit in the fourth of a five-game road trip for the Stills, while the Tridents are interested in resting Potter this time. Ruby found a great pace and attacked with 682 for Todavía to start them off in fantastic form. Precious actually had a bad turn for Pronger, managing only 177 in an unusual decline in production. Bells added a hefty 917 to the Stills lead on the second attack, putting them in a very comfortable position. Spot answered with 449 for the Tridents, making only a little progress against the steep deficit. Easter had a rough 208 for Todavía, missing a swing to create the mediocre output. Zach made some gains with 490 for Pronger, but it would take a massive push at the end to overcome this deficit. Prism made sure to protect the Stills lead anyway, paddling 777 to give them a total of 2584, a season high. Lize maintained a fiery pace with 526 for the Tridents, but they lost with 1642, their third straight home loss. Todavía improves to 3-4, while Pronger dips to 8-5.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: In the second game of the Stills' doubleheader, Ruby is on the bench for rest, while the Prestige have Acorn sitting out for the first time this season. Sierra returned from her game off with 564 for Todavía, showing a sharpness with her swings lacking from her previous appearance. Citrus fired back with 680 for Lighton, putting the hosts ahead initially. Bells tried to maintain a high pace, but she clipped the boundary at 357 to pull the Stills ahead narrowly. Spirit added a little more with 445 for the Prestige, giving their lead a bit more cushion. Easter helped Todavía keep the pressure up, covering the deficit with her 522. Nicole got caught on her backhand for Lighton very early in the turn, ending with just 98 as the hosts fall behind with a player each to go. Prism lashed 694 for the Stills at the end, another good finish to bring them to 2137 total. Shiny slapped 554 for the Prestige at the end, but they would suffer a loss at 1777. Todavía is on the rise to 4-4, pulling even with the 3-3 Lighton team they just defeated.
GE Stadium, Southridge: The Defenders cycle through their lineup and give Bianca this game off, while Neopolitan will take a second straight game of rest for the Surfers. Watermelon set the tone with 855 for Pearl right at the start, dampening the hopes of the hosts immediately. Debby offset a significant portion of the deficit with 600 for Southridge, but they are still behind. Boots lacked pace for the Surfers, managing only 272 on the second attack that weakens the visitors' lead. Stephanie failed to capitalize for the Defenders, her stretch of iffy play continuing with just 227 here. Bright got Pearl's offense back on track, lining 550 to boost their lead once again. Wario had an aggressive attack but fell at a reasonable 379 for Southridge when one of his swings went too high. Beth chopped 476 for the Surfers at the end to cap their offense at 2153. Caitlin fell at a poor 211 for the Defenders, confirming their loss at 1417. Pearl is up to 4-4 while Southridge drops to 0-11. The Defenders have also announced the firing of their coach amid one of the worst starts in league history.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The Cascades play their fourth of a six-game home stand with Roxy on the bench, a long overdue move, while Jennifer rests for the Knights. Kiwi didn't look great in her return to Terrace City's lineup, exiting with a modest 305. Jasmine jammed her way to 652 for Freedom at the starts, putting the hosts ahead after a turn with a good performance. Oreo also failed to perform well for the Knights, missing a swing that caused her to end with a meager 65 points. Nikolai made a strong supporting attack with 572 for the Cascades, building their lead to a good height. Quincy couldn't make a breakout for Terrace City, his 251 likely confirming a tough loss for the division leaders. Stripes put herself at the head of the Freedom attack with 725 on her turn, extending the lead again. Melissa had a decent 410 for the Knights, but they took their first road loss of the year at 1031. Stinky kept it simple with 341 for the Cascades, icing their win at 2290. Freedom's upset victory gets them to 4-3, while Terrace City retains the division lead at 10-3.
Sony Stadium, Queens: These two teams meet for the second time this week. Cowzart will again sit for the visitors, while the Flames give Mario rest after convenient scheduling. Starlight had the pace but none of the longevity, falling at a mere 195 for Pacific. Crystal answered with 647 for Queens, a hefty attack in her return to the lineup after missing the previous game. Ms. Kitty got some back with 476 for the Volcanoes, which barely covered the deficit. Violetta upped the attack for the Flames on the second turn, lashing 793 to strengthen their lead. Twinkie I got a good portion of that damage back with 674 for Pacific, but they still trail. Briana pushed Queens' offense higher with 834 on her turn, continuing to protect their advantage. Leonette again failed to attack well, hitting a pathetic 48 for the Volcanoes to seal their loss at 1393. Hannah tapped 355 more for the Flames at the end, completing their win at 2629 overall. Queens gets revenge, rising to 5-3, while Pacific slips back to 6-5.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: The Cascades continue their six-game home stand with Nikolai forced out of the lineup again for rest, while the busy Defenders close their week with Stephanie on the bench. Bianca chopped 553 for Southridge before missing a swing and taking out her wicket on the backswing. Jasmine lacked pace for much of her turn, leaving her at 418 after a high swing. Debby was too slow on a swing, causing a ball to dip under her bat to end her turn at just 177 for the Defenders. Roxy couldn't take advantage of that slip, hitting only 176 herself as the Cascades stay slightly behind. Wario didn't extend Southridge's lead by much with his 245, a mediocre effort in a game filled with them. Stripes got Freedom out of their scoring rut with 550, pulling them ahead with a player each to go. Caitlin set a challenge late with 753 for the Defenders to put them at 1728 overall at the end. Stinky lost it with 135 for the Cascades, their losing total resting at 1279. Southridge is finally off the blocks at 1-11, while Freedom drops to 4-4.
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Knights will again be without their captain Kiwi in the week 5 finale, while the Tridents sit their captain Precious for the first time this season for rest. Spot had the pace to go big but exited at 391 for Pronger instead in a reasonable start to the game. Jennifer had a similar turn, but she sent a ball too high earlier, giving her only 295 for Terrace City. Zach popped 534 for the Tridents on the second attack, building their lead a little more. Oreo bounced back with 521 for the Knights, mitigating the damage to keep the hosts close at the midway mark. Potter kept Pronger's offense steady with 531 on his turn, resetting the challenge for the hosts. Quincy made a small gain with 543 for Terrace City, leaving the result for the final players to determine. Lize slipped a bit with a late missed swing, but her 481 brought the Tridents to a total of 1937. Melissa couldn't complete a comeback, her poor 176 leaving the Knights in a loss with 1535. Pronger pulled off an impressive upset to get to 9-5, while Terrace City is just a game ahead at 10-4 after the tough week.
That's all for this week of Elite. Premier will begin tomorrow with 4-6 games, and will finish the week likely on Sunday.
