We're back for a new week of Elite cricket. We'll play four games Tuesday and likely eight on Wednesday to complete this week. First up...

Oceanside paces Elite at 9-3, while Todavía sinks to 4-6 after the lack of a breakout attack.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Both teams have easy choices for who to rest, as Boots sits for the hosts while Hannah is on the bench for the visitors.

Celestia took full advantage of the misplay, rallying for 609 for the Waves to give them a lead at the midway mark. Wario had a solid response with 373 for Southridge, but it likely won't hold up against the counterattack.

Caitlin collapsed at 160 for the Defenders, leaving them at 1228 in the loss. Dewey maintained good form with 409 for the Waves at the end, capping their win at 1957.
