CCRG Mobtown Mods 157-119, Suburbia 119 -- On Saturday, Suburbia (Yonkers, NY) traveled to Baltimore to take on Charm City’s second place home team the Mobtown Mods in the evening’s undercard bout at the Du Burns arena in Baltimore, MD before the Charm City / Denver headliner. Throughout the bout, the Mods were able to pick up several huge jams that would prove to be too large for the visitors to overcome.

The bout began with the hometown debut of I.M. Pain, a transfer from New River Valley, facing off against Suburbia’s captain Dina Sore Jr.  Dina picked up lead first but was only able to pick up a 1-0 with Pain chasing her down.  The two teams traded small fire until the Mods’ defense was able to lock down Smashing Pumpkin and Duchess of Torque gained a huge 16-0 jam to put the Mods up 20-6.  The next few jams were slightly in favor of the visitors 13-10 until I.M. Pain came to the line against Dina again.  Pain showed her speed as she was able to take a huge 25-0 jam to put the Mods up 55-19.  The teams kept pace with each other until the end of the half, when Suburbia’s AWOL and Lesley E. Visserate were able to net 12 points in their jams against Nuckin Futz and Dosa Badazz to put the score at 74-50 Mods lead at the half.

The second half began with All Star Lady Quebeaum picking up a 14-0 when Lesley E. couldn’t get through the wall of Joy Collision, Reckless Ndangerment and Thoroughbled.  Two jams later I.M. Pain picked up a 23-4 jam as AWOL got called on a track cut major, increasing the Mods’ lead to 114-63.  The Mods slowly increased the lead further to 143-72 with 12:30 left to play when a 4-2 pack advantage for the Brawlers would help AWOL turn a 10-0 jam against Slap Tackle Pop.  

Suburbia was able to gain a little ground in the remaining jams, and in the final jam Lesley E. earned her team a huge 20-0 with a 4-2 pack advantage and a power jam when Joy Collision cut track, but it wasn’t enough.  The final score was Mobtown Mods 157, Suburban Brawl 119.

The Mods scoring was led by Duchess of Torque with 18 while I.M.Pain scored 54 points with a +48 Point Differential and +9.6 Point Diff per Jam and earned the MVP.  Thoroughbled was the most notable defensive skater for the Mods.  Suburban Brawl’s top scorers were AWOL with 23 points and Lesley E. Visserate with 47 points and a +20 Point Differential.  Their top defensive threat was Brawl Stanley, who also earned the MVP. -- N8

Jersey Shore 132, DDG Blitz 98 -- The weather was hot and sticky, the moon was almost full, and in front of a home crowd of 2000 screaming and (mostly) ironically fist-pumping derby lovers, the Jersey Shore girls treated their fans to a win of 132-98 over the B-team from the regional rival Dutchland Rollers, the Blitz.  

The Dutchland Rollergirls have been a subject of attention in the east lately due to an infusion of talent in the form of Nash Villain and Renegade Raven from Harrisburg and Milk Maiden and Sukkubus Strike from Lehigh Valley.  After impressing at the East Coast Extravaganza with solid wins over Hammer City and Harrisburg, Dutchland’s  A team took a partial break and sent the Dutchland Blitz with a mix of rookies, vets, and transplants to take on the WFTDA hopeful  Jersey Shore Rollergirls All Star team.

Jersey Shore came out swinging with strong performances from Dodge Awol who had a 13-1 jam in the 3rd and Ciri L Killer who grabbed a 10-1 in the 5th jam to make the score 30-7 JSRG just 8 minutes into the game.  In the 7th jam Treasure Chest shut down JSRG go-to jammer Chelle B Evil and Sukkubus Strike was able to pick up a few points for the Blitz, but with 19:20 on the period clock, the score stood at 30-10 Jersey and a trend was established.  For the next 10 minutes, Jersey continued to play effective defense and build up the score.

At 8:56, the Blitz was looking at a 60-31 deficit, and JSRG finished the half particularly strong, with 15-0 and 5-0 jams from Ciri L Killer to close the opening 30 at 89-38 Jersey Shore. Notably, there were few box trips and no power jams during the first half of the game.  

Dutchland rolled strong to start the second half with a 4-0 shutout of Ciri L Killer by Ruthless Ness, but then scoring bogged down for several jams that featured full packs with a lot of big blocking and heavy defensive play on both sides.  There wasn’t a single power jam until the 7th jam of the second half when JSRG jammer Ciri L Killer took a trip to the box , allowing Sukkubus Strike to rack up a 9-4 jam for Dutchland.

Blocker penalties were even throughout the game, but JSRG saw Ciri take the star to the box three more times in the second half.  Ruthless Ness and Spanish Incollision capitalized for 10-4 and 8-0 points on respective power jams, but it was not enough to cover the deficit.  Despite a valiant last jam 12-3 effort by Ruthless Ness, Jersey Shore prevailed over the Blitz 132-98.

High scoring jammers for JSRG were Ciri L Killer with 51 points, Dodge Awol with 43, and Chelle B Evil with an uncharacteristically low 38 thanks to Treasure Chest’s relentless blocking.  For the Dutchland Blitz, Ruthless Ness racked up 48, Sukkubus Strike had 30, and Blue Scream of Death and Spanish Incollision put up 10 each. -- Bone Crawford

Demolition City Dynamite Dolls 206, Killamazoo Derby Darlins 61 -- Despite finishing the jam in the box, the Demolition City jammer, Godjilla, set the tone for the night when she opened the bout with a 19-0 jam against Killamazoo's Charisnakov at the Memorial Coliseum in Evansville, Indiana. The Dolls’ defense had only one lapse in the first half; in jam 5, KDD's Lady Hawk was able to board 9 points when Godjilla again found herself in the box for cutting the track. Hawk’s points narrowed the Dolls’ lead to 23-11.

Four jams later, Lillith of the Valley and Shelby N Pain had their first back-to-back matching point jams; each scored 13 points. When their next rotation came around, Lillith and Shelby did it again, this time with each putting 10 points on the board and bringing the score to 82-18 with six minutes left in the half.  In three of those four jams, the Killamazoo jammers were watching from the box. DCDD was able to overcome their jammer fouls, but Killamazoo didn’t fare as well and closed out the half trailing Demolition City 93-31.

The DCDD offense came out firing in the second half and claimed fifteen of eighteen lead-jammer positions, including the first nine of the half. Aided by excellent pack control and K'zoo's continued jammer-foul problems, DCDD steadily added points. Hazardous Dooks and Bangs McCoy each had 10-point jams and B Dawn Kadonk had back-to-back 10 and 9-point jams. Blockers-turned-jammers Elle on Wheels and Ima HoKiller added 9 and 8 more.

Meanwhile, the Demolition City defense, lead by Jetsy Rockette, Bittercup and Bangs McCoy, held K'zoo scoreless over nine consecutive jams and allowed only 10 points in the half before giving up consecutive 10-point jams by Charisnakov and Ramona D Flower to end the bout.

Godjilla led the Dolls in scoring with 64 points followed by Lillith of the Valley with 49 and Shelby N Pain with 32. Charisnakov led the Darlins with 25 points.

The Dolls remain undefeated this year at 9-0. -- Barry Heathcotte

Chemical Valley 88, DCRD Destruction Dames 80 -- In a shortened preliminary bout, the Chemical Valley Rollergirls (Charleston, WV) and DCRD’s Destruction Dames met for the first time in the third annual Broads on Quads in Evansville, Indiana’s Memorial Coliseum; CVRG took home a warm heart.

Chemical Valley built a 8-0 lead over the first three jams through 4-point jams from each of Slambellina and Annie Knuckles. However, 22 points from Abs of Steel, Full Throttle and What’s Her Face were able to overcome the 8 points added to CVRG’s total by Tess LaCoil and give the Dames a 22-16 lead near the quarter mark. It lasted only one jam. Knuckles out-dueled Abs 11-4 to take back the lead for CVRG 27-26. In the next jam, Throttle was sent to the box after scoring 1 point, and Tess took advantage of the fact by adding 19 points and giving CVRG a 19-point lead, a lead the Dames were able to reduce by only 3 points before the half. Halftime score CVRG 53, Dames 37.

After having reversed a 29-point first-half deficit last month against many of the same skaters, the Dames were hoping to overcome the 16-point deficit in this bout. However, they fell short. They were able to put some brakes on Tess, who had 27 points in the fist half, by holding her to only 8 points in the second half. And four jams into the half, DCRD’s Whats Her Face was able to reverse the lead with an 18-point jam to give the Dames a short-lived 2-point lead at 59-57.

Once again, though, the lead lasted only one jam as Crush Groove out-pointed Abs 4-1 to re-establish CVRG’s lead at 61-60. Despite some hard jammer hits from Deflower Power and ChasD Belt, CVRG’s jammers Tess, Slambellina, Knuckles and Crush were able to 2, 4 and 5-point jam their way to an 88-80 victory. CVRG was led in scoring by Tess LaCoil’s 35 points; she was followed by Annie Knuckles with 26 points. What’s Her Face led the Dames with 36 points, Full Throttle came in second with 26 followed by Abs of Steel with 18. -- Barry Heathcotte

Humboldt 199, Sac City 110 -- Almost three months after a rough bout against Sac City’s Capital Punishers on their native Sacramento soil, Humboldt Roller Derby’s skaters fought the same battle at home on Saturday, July 24th – and won by a landslide.

Sac City’s girls were unexpectedly aggressive at their first meeting in May, and had some interesting moves in starting off the pivot line. While previous bouts had usually a fast‐paced dash, the Punishers would hold back and try to delay the start of the jammers. This didn’t throw anyone off on Saturday – as soon as Humboldt’s blockers got 10 feet forward, the jam started anyway, and Sac City’s blockers became susceptible to penalties for “destroying the pack” if they didn’t get going immediately.

Some of Humboldt’s star jammers for the night, in terms of impressive total points per jam, included Rust E. Machete (with 21), Jule Injection (with 19), and Avi N. Flew (with 15). The Humboldt Roller Derby All‐Stars finished with 199 points at the end of the night and a 89‐point victory. Christi Coffman
