We're set to begin a new day of bowls, beginning with...
GE Stadium Events Center, Southridge: Oreo v. Noelle. Prime meets Brute Force in this battle with the silver cue. Terrace City's Oreo couldn't keep control on offense in 7-ball, and Central's Noelle buried a 6-7 combination to the bottom side for the win and 1-0 series lead. The Knights' Oreo continued to play with confidence in 8-ball, and this time she easily earned the win as the Warriors' Noelle struggled overall. The series is tied at 1. In 9-ball, both players had strong turns, but Oreo was a little bit better to snipe the 9 at the bottom right, giving her a 2-1 series lead over Noelle. Oreo showed strong composure in 10-ball, making a four-ball run-out after a tough battle saw Noelle fade late. Oreo's series lead is up to 3-1. In 12-ball, Oreo had her fair share of smart plays, but Noelle got physical at the bottom side to get the win. Noelle is back within a 3-2 score in the series. Oreo had a couple of poorly-timed scratches in 13-ball, allowing Noelle to go unchecked at the end for the win. The series is tied again at 3. Oreo put in a solid effort in Rotation, but Noelle's three-ball run near the middle helped her pull away for an 8-5 win to gain the 4-3 series lead. In 15-ball, both players had some good looks on offense, but Noelle was the one to finish it off. Her deep rally in the series clinched the Southridge Bowl in her favor at 5-3. Noelle held her own in Accuracy as well, claiming one more win over Oreo by a 6-3 score to finish the bowl.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Twinkie II v. Vincent. Reality and Humanity tangle with the blue cue in today's second bowl. Harrison's Twinkie II had a couple of looks at the 7 that didn't go in before Everton's Vincent tapped it down to win and take a 1-0 series lead after 7-ball. The Eagles' Vincent put in another comeback effort in 8-ball, but the Specters' Twinkie II was able to fend him off this time. The series is tied at 1. In 9-ball, Twinkie II finally showed a bit more finishing quality. She buried a three-ball run-out after Vincent couldn't surge late. Twinkie II is ahead 2-1 in the series. Twinkie II shut out Vincent in 10-ball, winning on her third shot with a deflection off the 3 to take the 10 at the bottom left. Twinkie II pulled off a shutout of a different kind in 12-ball, as Vincent scratched on his only made shot in the game. Twinkie II won on a three-ball run-out to push her series lead to 4-1. In 13-ball, Twinkie II didn't have the same kind of good fortune. Vincent was a little shaky but steady enough to win, cutting the deficit to 4-2. Twinkie II had a decent start in Rotation but couldn't finish off the effort, allowing Vincent to rally from behind for an 8-5 win. Vincent is now down just 4-3 in the series. In 15-ball, Twinkie II had a run in the middle that ended with a miss on the 8. Vincent then spun a kick off the left rail to make the 8-15 combination at the bottom left, tying the series at 4. Twinkie II led for much of Accuracy, but a late miss proved costly as Vincent swooped in for the 2-3 win to take the series 5-4. Vincent prevailed in the Pearl Bowl this year.
UPS Hall, Maplewood: Strawberry v. Nightfur. The purple cue draws in for Enterprise versus Brute Force. Zenith's Nightfur committed a foul rather early in 7-ball, and Victoria's Strawberry soon followed up with a 3-7 combination to the top right for the win and 1-0 series lead. In 8-ball, the Spurs' Strawberry enjoyed a solid start, but the Skywatchers' Nightfur stayed close and took the win right at the end to tie the series 1. Strawberry again started well in 9-ball, but Nightfur's confidence took another step up as she made a five-ball run-out for the win and 2-1 series lead. Strawberry had a little more offense in 10-ball, only for Nightfur to finish it off with a four-ball run-out for the win and 3-1 series lead. Nightfur didn't get much of a chance in 12-ball, as Strawberry made a four-ball run off the break and quickly added the final pair to take this win. Nightfur's series lead slip to 3-2. Nightfur had more time to play in 13-ball, but her positioning let her down. Strawberry worked her way to a three-ball run-out for the win that tied the series at 3. Strawberry couldn't get anything going in Rotation, allowing Nightfur to build slowly and then finish with a four-ball run-out for an 8-2 win. Nightfur regained the series lead at 4-3. Nightfur continued to play well in 15-ball, finishing off with a five-ball run-out to secure the series at 5-3 as Strawberry came up short. Nightfur added one more for the road, taking Accuracy by a 1-3 score to beat Strawberry 6-3 in the Maplewood Bowl.
Sony Center, Queens: Fuchsia v. Kiwi. Outcast and Enterprise send representatives to battle with the green cue. Infinity's Fuchsia weathered a four-ball run from Terrace City's Kiwi in 7-ball. Kiwi ended her run on a scratch, and Fuchsia made the final pair for the win and 1-0 series lead. The Torpedoes' Fuchsia showed too much impatience in 8-ball, trying to force a play that ended with the 8 going down early to gift a win to the Knights' Kiwi, who tied the series at 1 without much effort. Fuchsia bounced back fine in 9-ball, taking a three-ball run-out to defeat a listless performance from Kiwi. Fuchsia retook the series lead at 2-1. Kiwi played well with positioning in 10-ball, allowing her to again pull even in the series after Fuchsia dropped her pace. The series is tied at 2. Fuchsia made a three-ball run off the break in 12-ball, but Kiwi ran the table on her first turn to grab the win and a 3-2 series lead. In 13-ball, Fuchsia rebounded with pace on offense. Kiwi had a chance to strike back but couldn't ignite the run before Fuchsia made her final pair for the win to retie the series at 3. Fuchsia reestablished herself in Rotation, taking the early lead and keeping it for an 8-2 win to pull ahead of Kiwi 4-3 in the series. Fuchsia kept her offense exciting and creative in 15-ball, and she had more of the possession than Kiwi to claim a win. Fuchsia sealed the series at 5-3 with this result. Fuchsia and Kiwi played to a 1-1 tie in Accuracy, so Fuchsia settled for a 5-3-1 result in the Queens Bowl.
Samsung Arena, Whitewater: Briana v. Chris. The Humanity Championship ends the day with the red cue. Queens' Briana wasted no time in 7-ball, taking a 1-0 series lead as she deposited the 7 to the top right on the break. The Flames' Briana saw Capital City's Chris take control early in 8-ball. Chris came close to a win, but Briana stormed all the way back with an eight-ball run-out for the win to go ahead 2-0. Briana looked threatening even with less offense in 9-ball, but she missed on the 9 and the Sharpshooters' Chris banked it to the top right for the win. Briana's series lead is still 2-1. Briana had some dangerous shots in 10-ball, but Chris looked better late on a four-ball run. He rattled the 10 out of the bottom left, and Briana sank it to the bottom right for the win and 3-1 series lead. Briana made an ill-informed shot choice at the end of 12-ball, gifting a well-earned win to Chris, who pulled back to a 3-2 deficit in the series thanks to his defensive play. Briana shot back with a confident start and stylish finish in 13-ball, banking the 8 to the top right for the win to pull ahead 4-2 over Chris. In Rotation, Chris nearly received a gift at the end, but he miscued and Briana tapped down the winning shot for an 8-7 win to clinch the series at 5-2. Chris got one back with a pair to close out 15-ball despite Briana's firm offense earlier on. Briana remains ahead 5-3 in the series. In Accuracy, both players had chances to control play before ending in a 3-3 tie. Briana took the Humanity Championship in Whitewater by a 5-3-1 score.
That's all for this day of action. We'll move to four Bowls per day during the middle of the week.
