Nml Pickleball: MLP San Clemente – Live Random Thoughts (Match Story Lines) 

Seattle Pioneers def. LA Mad Drops (3-1). MD goes first: Johns/Loong vs Arnold/Wilson. Close game. See 16-16 rally that the Mad Drops won. But Tyler gets his revenge on the next ball which Arnold thinks went out. Line call challenge discussion. CORRECTION: There was talk on the stream if Thomas had called it in. He did not. No one including announcers were clear on what happened but no challenge. Johns challenges a ball at 21-20 – game point. Ref rules in favor of Johns so Pioneers win 22-20. Announcers clearly thought it was out and stream’s replay angle showed out. Another MUST WATCH match due to the high caliber of play from all 4. WD: Irina/Catherine vs Etta/Meghan. Meghan bringing the fire that can’t be met and they get a big lead. No MLP magic from Irina showing up. Luckily, Catherine caught fire and staged some good plays for the Mad Drops despite Irina being heavily targeted. See Catherine’s aggression at 9-18 that led the comeback. But Pioneers take it 21-18. MXD #1: Loong claims a broken ball effected play at 19-15. Ref doesn’t seem to know what to do. Ben stays on sidelines. No replay. Loong/Dizon lose to Parenteau/Arnold 21-15. Johns/E.Wright defeat Tereschenko/Wilson 21-15.
