Americus tried to keep it close with 464 for the Predators, but they again lose a little ground. Puff III slugged 1388 for Everton on her turn, a massive performance to likely secure a favorable result. Fuchsia duplicated the high pace, but lacked the longevity in scoring 434 for Midland, which did little to change the deficit. Kirstin added 414 for the Eagles at the end, sealing their score at 3020 in a likely victory. Kitty sent a decent 376 for the Predators, confirming their loss at 1803.

McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates will rest Klaus due to his preseason pool action, while the Torpedoes sit Hughbert in a tough decision. Smudge ripped 560 for Infinity on the opening turn, doing so with an understated swing and good posture. Delila answered with 373 for Atlantic, unable to cover the deficit in an average performance. Fluffina shrugged off another 544 for the Torpedoes, casually building up their lead quite nicely. Isabella lacked punch on her turn, taking 337 as the Pirates lose a bit more ground. Shelley lived up to her potential in this appearance, striking 685 quickly to extend Infinity's lead. Steven had a strong 503 for Atlantic, but it appears they won't catch up this time.

Atlantic is 4-2 at home and 5-6 overall, while Tysini drops to 1-6 on the year.
Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Shores are set to rest Marsell for this one, while the visiting Warriors give their captain Twilight her first game off this season. Dustin belted 847 right at the start for Central, putting immediate pressure on the hosts. Twinkie III fired back with 537 for Whitewater, a solid response to mitigate the damage done. Wings poked 339 for the Warriors, causing their lead to shrink a bit on the second attack. Shaggy made a mess of her turn with only 112 for the Shores, leading to questions that the captaincy may be too much for her. Andrew kept a simple pace at first, but burst forward for 682 for Central by the end of the turn. Katharine didn't come anywhere near that mark with her 245 for Whitewater. Noelle tacked on 388 for the Warriors at the end to put their total at 2256. Rosalina dropped at 211 for the Shores, continuing their mediocrity in a loss with 1105.

Patches went with big pace immediately, slamming 619 for Boston to give them a decent lead. Valencia lacked the same harsh bite on her turn, but she took 521 to keep Golden within striking distance. Puff II did well with 476 for the Swifts, adding a bit more to their lead. Dusty got caught on her backhand, falling with 245 this time on an iffy call by the officials that makes the Pilots' comeback effort much harder. Sweetheart's turn also ended on a backhand, but only after she slugged 1377 after her first attempt was ruled a false start. Boston's lead seems secure. Max provided 642 for Golden, although it seems they will have to take the loss. Ice Cream capped the Swifts offense with 492 individually, for a total of 2964. Sparkles churned 400 for the Pilots, leaving them at a loss with 1808. Boston has two wins over Golden now, with the visitors going to 3-3 and the hosts dropping to 6-3.

Bandit had the pace for something special, but a high hit ended his turn at 280 for the Blades. Slinks bounced 550 for the Rockers to put them ahead midway through the game. Stealth lifted 355 for Swordpoint, going at a high pace but losing his rhythm a bit too quickly for his team's liking.

Sugar took some deep swings but still ended with 337 for the Blades, capping their loss at 1493. Chimpy piled on with 419 for the Rockers at the end, their win resting at 2063. Westside is 12-0 and showing no signs of slowing down, while Swordpoint falls back to 8-7.
Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The Warriors give Noelle a rare game off in this meeting with C-Line Derby rivals, while the visiting Sharpshooters sit Pauline amid fears of her sophomore slump.

Rosalina appeared exhausted on her turn with only 80 for the Shores, confirming their loss at 1452. Stealth showed no mercy with 615 for the Blades, which might be remembered in the rematch as the hosts win this one with 2489. Swordpoint rises to 9-7, while Whitewater is 3-5 and looking for answers ahead of the rematch in three games.
Amazon Field, Golden: The Pilots begin a home doubleheader with Dusty taking rest as they appear to knuckle under to the Rockers, who will sit their captain Misty for rest. Slinks started slowly, but found her focus later in the turn to pummel 766 for Westside at the start. Valencia collapsed at 224 for Golden, unable to cut back against the steep attack from the opponents. Goatee's resurgent season continued as she belted 1025 for the Rockers on the second attack. Strut had nothing for the Pilots, potentially still a bit fatigued from preseason pool as he hit only 130. Chimpy took it easy, at least by Westside standards, with 537 on his turn to pad their lead a little more. Max also fell with just 130 for Golden, as the visitors dominate through offense and defense alike this time. Midnight capped the Rockers offense with an even 1000, giving them a total of 3328 in a likely massive win. Sparkles took 506 for the Pilots, mostly as window dressing in a brutal loss at 990.

Valencia had the pace for a bounce-back effort, but a high swing stalled her at 534 for Golden. Leandra tried to rally for the Hummingbirds, but also took a swing too high to end her turn at 376. Dusty made a slight gain with 470 for the Pilots, bringing them much closer to evening the score at the halfway mark. Charli poked 425 for Tysini, continuing to give their lead solid boosts. Strut lost a tiny amount of ground with 419 for Golden, setting up a close finish between these two teams. Vincent swung and missed at 193 for the Hummingbirds, leaving them vulnerable at a final score of 1655. Sparkles locked it down with 570 for the Pilots at the end, securing their win at 1993.

Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: In the return match between these teams, Rosalina sits for the hosts while the visitors give a game off to Dreamy again for performance reasons. Snowball ripped 694 for Swordpoint right at the start, giving them a good chance to double-up on their wins. Marsell had only 176 for Whitewater, continuing a small sample of bad home performance. Bandit dropped at 224 for the Blades, barely covering the damage against their lead. Twinkie III made a little progress with 314 for the Shores, but they've got a way to go. Stealth flipped 579 for Swordpoint on his turn, protecting their lead with the good attack. Shaggy didn't make a convincing counter on her turn, ending with just 214 as it appears Whitewater will fall again. Sugar had just 48 for the Blades at the end, weakening their lead at a final score of 1545. Katharine managed 295 for the Shores, far short of what they needed in their loss with 999. Swordpoint is 10-7, while Whitewater's anemic offense has them down to 3-6.
That's all for Week 5. As pool activities transition to 2019 qualifying, cricket will play a big role early in the next week to fill time.
