The much-anticipated Diamond debut for Shadow ended with mixed feelings as he hit 357 at lead-off for his new team.

Chelsea did a bit better with 312 for the Sharks, but their lead is still far from comfortable. Yekaterina proved this point, outscoring everyone else combined with 684 for the Spurs to put them in the lead at the halfway point. Taylor M. had a debut to forget with only 177 for Eastside, as the rookie failed to help their cause much.
