AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: The Waves face the largest deficit of any team trailing today, and they'll sit Josie, while the Torpedoes have Shelley reserved this time. Smudge built up a good advantage for this leg with 671 for Infinity to lead things off. Snuggle did alright with 373 for Oceanside, but that won't help the series deficit at all. Fluffina fired back with 584 as the Torpedoes continue to dominate. Celestia made a gain with 790 for the Waves, trying to at least keep this game close. Mr. Snowman had a simple 256 for Infinity this time around. Dewey did a little better with 289 but Oceanside still can't pull ahead. Hughbert added 461 for the Torpedoes to put their final score at 1972 for the game and 4353 in the series. Jason V. fell at 208 as the Waves took another loss with 1668 in the game and 2778 overall. Infinity's sweep propels them to the Quarterfinals.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: The Surfers did themselves no favors yesterday and will sit Bright at home, while Sugar is out as the Blades look to lock up the series. Snowball flipped 520 for Swordpoint to kick off this game in good form. Watermelon used pace on her turn but only produced 330 for Pearl, starting them behind in the game. Dreamy countered with 436 to keep the Blades in control on the second attack. Boots was stopped at 112 as the Surfers' long-shot effort at a comeback looks dead on arrival.

Stealth kept it simple with 233 for the Blades, icing their offense at 1436 in the game and 3311 in the series. Beth buckled at 130 for the Surfers, giving them only 877 in the game and 1615 overall. Swordpoint cruises off to the Quarterfinals after a dominant series.
Starbucks Cup, Archtown: It's a long-shot, but the Arrows will sit Dusky as they host the Rockers, who look to protect the lead with Chimpy sitting out on the road. Misty posted a solid 396 for Westside to lead off the game. Sally kept it close in the game with 361 for Archtown on their opening turn. Slinks popped off with 754 for the Rockers to really boost their lead on the second attack. Sleepy B. collected 480 for the Arrows, but it looks like their comeback won't coalesce. Goatee modestly added 327 for Westside, actually losing a portion of their lead. Hoppy only managed 180 for Archtown this time, wasting the chance to catch up. Midnight played well with 441 for the Rockers at the end, icing their game at 1918 to give them 3905 overall. A.

Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Knights, one of two lower-division teams to win leg one, will sit Quincy when they host the Sharpshooters, who go without Missy in a bold choice. Chris led off with 480 for Capital City, unable to cover the series deficit from the start. Kiwi slipped at 176 for Terrace City, putting them behind early in the game. Sprinkles butchered her turn with only 32 for the Sharpshooters, wasting a chance to make progress. Jennifer got the Knights on track with 429, pulling them slightly ahead at the halfway point. Lorde poked 384 for Capital City this time, still failing to advance their cause on a series level. Oreo added to the Terrace City lead with a solid 460 to keep them ahead. Pauline failed to force a response for the game, her 162 for the Sharpshooters sticking them at 1058 in the game and 2068 in the series, both good for losses. Melissa tacked on 361 to assure the Knights of the win at 1426 in the game and 3209 in the series. Terrace City rides the sweep to the Quarterfinals, the first non-Premier team to do so.
IBM Nighthawks Nest, North Modernistic: The Nighthawks remain without Cheddar with their United Cup run on the line versus a Swifts team sitting Ice Cream. Patches crushed 1003 for Boston to set the tone in magnificent form on the road. Peach hit 300 for North Modernistic, a decent turn but not a helpful one. Puff II went with 434 for the Swifts on the second attack to keep their lead strong. Gal pulled back with 482 for the Nighthawks, who remain noticeably behind. Gradley kept Boston on pace with 405, another solid addition to their lead. Lionel didn't have a breakout effort, his 425 merely keeping with the latest damage as North Modernistic looks poised to exit the competition. Sweetheart used pace on her second try after a false start, scoring 411 to give the Swifts 2253 in the game and 3884 in the series, which looks to be going for a sweep. Luigi was strong with 514 but the Nighthawks fell with totals of 1721 and 2744 in the game and series, respectively. Boston is off to face Swordpoint in the Quarterfinals.

Goldy took a nasty tumble with only 32 for Everton, clipping the boundary badly. Spice covered the series deficit with 514 for Victoria, bringing the crowd to an early frenzy. Bear covered that damage with 579 for the Eagles, keeping them ahead in the series for now.

Puff III failed again at 100 for the Eagles, who end the game at a loss with 956 while closing the series at 2728. Mitchell's 335 was enough for the game win at 1617 and the series win as well at 2950. Victoria is the first Select team to earn a spot in the Quarterfinals.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: With only a small deficit ahead, the Cascades sit Nikolai while the Pirates go without Klaus in what's sure to be a nail-biter Eastern Hills rivalry. Delila launched 883 for Atlantic to really put the hosts under pressure. Jasmine didn't have the same results with 395 for Freedom, causing the series deficit to grow.

Valencia scooped up 678 for Golden to begin the game in great form. Whiskers only got about half of it back with 376 for Maplewood, who are now behind in the series. Dusty shrugged off 235 for the Pilots, potentially weakening their lead a bit. Diddley didn't apply pressure, ending at 195 after an odd bounce took out his wicket for the Lumberjacks. Max zipped 661 for Golden against his first career team, keeping the visitors in charge. Bryant's 320 didn't help Maplewood at all, putting them fairly far back with a player each to go. Sparkles added 376 for the Pilots at the end, producing final scores of 1950 in the game and 3546 in the series. Gabe's 461 on a pacey counterattack came up short with the Lumberjacks losing the game at 1352 and the series at 2991. Golden takes the split series on points and earns a date with the Terrace City Knights in the Quarterfinals.
That's all we've got for United Cup Round 3. Tomorrow, the entire Quarterfinals round will be played, with leg one in the morning and leg two in the afternoon.
