Another four-pack of bowls is on today. First up...
Cisco Arena, Tysini: Tigerette v. Ruby. Prime and Enterprise clash with the red cue in today's opener. Boston's Tigerette ran the table in 7-ball, preventing Todavía's Ruby from making a response. Tigerette owns a 1-0 series lead. The Swifts' Tigerette put in a decent effort in 8-ball, but a hotter start from the Stills' Ruby allowed her to work her way to a win, tying the series at 1. Ruby ripped a five-ball run with a pair of bank shots in 9-ball, but she missed a tricky play on the 9. Tigerette collected the final pair of shots to get the win and 2-1 series lead. In 10-ball, neither player could string offense together. Tigerette chipped a few too many shots, and Ruby was able to get the final pair for the win, tying the series again at 2. Tigerette took a late scratch in 12-ball as she couldn't find a play at the bottom side, but Ruby kicked her last ball into the bottom right on a double-kiss to get the win and 3-2 series lead. Tigerette bounced back in a creative 13-ball game. Both she and Ruby had good plays, but Tigerette's pace earned her the win and tied the series at 3. Tigerette again set the tone with a strong pace in Rotation, while Ruby flailed around with little shooting luck. Tigerette won 8-1 and leads the series 4-3. Tigerette didn't wait long in 15-ball to finish off the series, making the 2 on a cut and then deflecting off the 3 to make a 14-15 combination at the bottom left. The stunningly fast finish clinched the series for Tigerette at 5-3 over Ruby. Tigerette had a chance to win in Accuracy, but her late miss left it in a 2-2 tie. Tigerette defeated Ruby 5-3-1 in the Tysini Bowl.
Google Hall, Modernistic: Violetta v. Frosty. Two fierce opponents represent Outcast and Solid Core in a battle with the blue cue. Queens' Violetta had the better of the offense in a choppy 7-ball battle. She committed a stick foul, but Freedom's Frosty failed to run out the game, and Violetta won for a 1-0 series lead. The Flames' Violetta trailed for much of 8-ball, but her defense stalled out the Cascades' Frosty on her last ball. Violetta then plucked a three-ball run-out for the win to go up 2-0. Things continued in a similar manner in 9-ball. Frosty had a look at a run but missed on the 7, allowing Violetta to rally for a three-ball run-out that gave her a 3-0 series lead. Violetta was the one to stumble in 10-ball, with her miss on the 7 allowing Frosty to get on the board with a four-ball run-out. Violetta leads the series 3-1. Violetta didn't get much going in 12-ball either, with Frosty taking the early lead and then winning with a pair of shots, including a kick on the 14 to the bottom side. Violetta's series lead is down to 3-2. Frosty put in a strong performance in 13-ball, but she couldn't get her last ball down. Violetta had just enough offense to take the win at the end, pushing her series lead to 4-2. Violetta's break didn't lead to a great pace on offense in Rotation. Frosty had a couple of sustained attacks that helped her earn an 8-5 win to get back within a game, trailing 4-3 in the series. Violetta turned things around dramatically in 15-ball, rattling off a six-ball run before she scratched. Frosty responded with a five-ball run and a miss on the 14, and Violetta sank the final pair to seal the series at 5-3. Frosty led for much of Accuracy, but a couple of late misses allowed Violetta to claim a 1-2 win for the 6-3 series win. Violetta has added a Modernistic Bowl title to her resume.
Coca-Cola Field Exhibition Center, Boston: Ms. Puppy v. Solaris. Division rivals from Prime and Youth Movement meet with the blue cue. Modernistic's Ms. Puppy had a chance to a win a choppy 7-ball game, but she missed contact at embarrassingly close range. Commerce's Solaris got the win for a 1-0 series lead. In 8-ball, the Tradewinds' Solaris used a scratch to slow down the Union's Ms. Puppy at the end. Solaris then made a pair of shots for the win and 2-0 series lead. Ms. Puppy answered in 9-ball, using a trick play off the 4 to bank the 9 to the top right as Solaris struggled to get a grip on offense. Solaris remains ahead 2-1 in the series. Ms. Puppy had a chance to finish off 10-ball and couldn't do it, missing the 10 to the top left. Solaris got stylish with the finish, burying the 10 on a kick to push his series lead up to 3-1. Ms. Puppy had to come up with a defensive play in 12-ball, and she did it by blocking the bottom side. Solaris couldn't play through it, and Ms. Puppy won on a four-ball run-out to cut the deficit to 3-2. Ms. Puppy took the early with offense in 13-ball, and she had the positioning just right at the end to make a pair after Solaris' comeback run fell short. The series is tied at 3. Ms. Puppy made a rally from deep back in Rotation, potting four in a row before a miss on the 15. Solaris cleaned up the 15 at the bottom left for an 8-7 win to retake the series lead at 4-3. Ms. Puppy had an error in the middle of 15-ball, and Solaris rallied from there on a six-ball run-out to get the win and clinch the series at 5-3. Solaris struggled in Accuracy, while Ms. Puppy put in a perfect effort to earn a 0-4 win. Solaris took the Boston Bowl by a 5-4 score.
Oracle Forum, Phoenix: Maren v. Lindsay. We welcome Phoenix, home of the Firebirds, to the league with the Songstresses showcase with the green cue. Apex's Maren opened with a win in 7-ball, finishing off a four-ball run-out after Stonebridge's Lindsay went quiet. Maren leads the series 1-0. The Wonders' Maren had a decent start to 8-ball, but she faded later on. The Wolves' Lindsay picked up the slack and slowly earned a win to tie the series at 1. Lindsay kept her offense on high in 9-ball, rallying with a four-ball run-out after a choppy start from Maren. Lindsay is up to a 2-1 series lead. Maren got it right back with a quick strike in 10-ball. Lindsay failed to make a 3-10 combination, and Maren sank the 10 to the top left with a deflection play, retying the series at 2. Maren had a solid break in 12-ball, but Lindsay got the positioning in her favor. That led Lindsay to a five-ball run-out that restored her series lead at 3-2. Maren delivered another good break in 13-ball, only for Lindsay to immediately take control on solids. Lindsay finished off with a three-ball run-out this time, pushing her series lead to 4-2. Maren made a three-ball run off the break in Rotation, but her offense just about ran out there. Lindsay won 8-4 in this game, securing the series at 5-2. Lindsay made a five-ball run that ended with an illegal contact jump shot. Maren took the ball-in-hand to sink a 4-15 combination to the top left for the win, trimming Lindsay's series lead to 5-3.
