We'll cross the midpoint of the Bowl Series today. First up...
Chevrolet Center, Everton: Boots v. Twilight. The Reality Championship is on, using the red cue. Central's Twilight picked up the win on a three-ball run-out after shaky play for herself and Pearl's Boots. Twilight owns a 1-0 series lead. The Warriors' Twilight was too slow on offense in 8-ball, allowing the Surfers' Boots to establish an early lead. Boots was a little shaky at the end, but she closed out the win to tie the series at 1. Boots had some offense early in 9-ball, but Twilight made five balls over her last two turns to grab the win and 2-1 series lead. Twilight stayed strong throughout most of 10-ball, finishing with a three-ball run-out this time to get the win and 3-1 series lead over Boots. Twilight didn't have much positioning in her favor in 12-ball, while Boots stumbled a couple of times and still got the win to cut the deficit to 3-2. Twilight again couldn't solve the positioning in 13-ball, as Boots dealt with the 8 blocking the bottom left significantly better. Boots finished it off for a win to tie the series at 3. In Rotation, Boots didn't hesitate after a slow start. Twilight was caught out of position on all her later turns, and Boots cruised to an 8-2 win for the 4-3 series lead. Twilight couldn't get back on track in 15-ball, making a few shots but ceding the series as Boots buried a six-ball run-out to clinch it at 5-3. In Accuracy, Boots set a fast pace and Twilight kept up well. Both players made just one mistake each, a scratch, leaving it tied 1-1. Boots won the Reality Championship 5-3-1.
Mercedes-Benz Forum, Harrison: Nibbles v. Goldy. Outcast and Oriental United have their duel with the red cue. Web City's Nibbles started fairly well in 7-ball, but his four-ball run went to waste with poor distance shooting. Everton's Goldy sank the final pair of shots for the win and 1-0 series lead. In 8-ball, the Spiders' Nibbles enjoyed another hot start, only for the Eagles' Goldy to rally from behind for the win and 2-0 series lead. Goldy waited for a chance to strike in 9-ball, but Nibbles finally sustained some offense with a seven-ball run-out for the win, cutting Goldy's advantage to 2-1. Nibbles didn't mess around in 10-ball, sinking two balls on the break and adding a 2-10 combination to the top left two shots later to prevent Goldy from getting a shot. Nibbles has tied the series at 2. In 12-ball, Nibbles tried to gut out a tough battle, but Goldy had just enough defense and positioning to escape with the win to regain the series lead at 3-2. Missed opportunities slowed down both players in 13-ball, but Goldy maintained a lead throughout to get the better of Nibbles again. Goldy's series lead is up to 4-2. Nibbles refused to go quietly, taking an 8-4 in Rotation as Goldy struggled to build offense. Nibbles trails 4-3 in the series. Nibbles put in another fighting effort in 15-ball, eventually sniping the final pair as Goldy lacked precision. The series is tied at 4. Goldy had just enough in the tank to come back from an early deficit in Accuracy. Nibbles faded late as Goldy won the game 3-4 and the series 5-4 for the Harrison Bowl.
Intel Center, Diamond: Missy v. Wario. Reality and the Guild of Acting clash in the third bowl of the day, using the silver cue. In 7-ball, both players struggled to execute shots. Southridge's Wario gave the game away by illegally potting the 7 to gift a 1-0 series lead to Capital City's Missy. The Sharpshooters' Missy tried to play defense in 8-ball, but it didn't pan out for her. The Defenders' Wario was crisp in attack and earned the win to tie the series at 1. Missy bounced back in 9-ball thanks to a late scratch from Wario. Missy won on a three-ball run-out and reclaimed the series lead at 2-1. Wario flubbed his look at a 6-10 combination in 10-ball, and Missy was there to clean it up at the top left for the win and 3-1 series lead. Missy had a chance to attack late in a fast 12-ball game, but she couldn't get the 5 to the bottom side. Wario had given Missy a ball, but he bounced back on the next turn with a three-ball run-out to cut the deficit to 3-2 overall. Wario thought he had the win in 13-ball, but post-game review returned an uncalled overfill and a foul finish on the 8, giving the win again to Missy, who now holds a 4-2 series lead. Missy finished things off in Rotation, surging in the middle to beat Wario 8-4 while clinching the series at 5-2. In 15-ball, Wario looked a little stronger on offense, only to send the 15 wide of the bottom right, where Missy cleaned it up for the win. Missy's series lead is up to 6-2. Missy had an awful performance in Accuracy as Wario stayed perfect for a 0-4 win. Missy won the series 6-3 to claim the Diamond Bowl.
BMW RockDome, Westside: Jack v. Smokey. Another top bowl with the red cue sees Forest SC and Brute Force meet. Neither player let loose in 7-ball, with Web City's Jack sneaking away with the win on the final pair of shots for a 1-0 series lead over Pacific's Smokey. In 8-ball, the Volcanoes' Smokey tried to gum things up in the middle, but the Spiders' Jack broke through with a four-ball run-out to take a 2-0 series lead. In 9-ball, Smokey continued to make some good plays, only to fall short. This time, Jack grabbed the 9 at the top left for the win to go up 3-0 in the series. Jack peaked too early in 10-ball, making a four-ball run but missing on the 9 at the bottom left. Smokey buried the final pair to get on the board, now trailing 3-1 in the series. Jack rattled off some offense early in 12-ball, and while Smokey caught up, he couldn't corral his last ball. Jack took the 5 at the top side to push his series lead to 4-1. Jack secured the series in 13-ball, as neither player was particularly sharp on offense. Smokey never got a run together, and Jack's steadier pace earned him the win for the 5-1 series lead. Jack didn't let up in a choppy Rotation, relentlessly attacking on offense to grab an 8-1 win over Smokey for the 6-1 series lead. Jack made a three-ball run-out to add 15-ball to his side of the ledger, as Smokey's late push for offense ended up disjointed and slow. Jack's series lead is up to 7-1. Jack was not at his best in Accuracy, but he still escaped with a 5-6 win to beat Smokey 8-1 in the series, which should spark a rivalry between their teams next year.
That's all for today, and we'll have more tomorrow with another four Bowls.
