It was by any standard an upset but at the same time you could understand the logic behind how it happened. After winning Game 6 the Artists turned to veteran Vic Cosman to start Game 7.

Cosman on the very tail end of a brilliant career, had not started a game since August 8th when he lost to Quebec. But, the future HOF pitcher still induces ground balls and pitch to contact style worked to near perfection.

Cosman did not get the W but he did give Paris 4 innings of 1 run ball. Lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the 5th it paid dividends as Zuniga got on base and scored a run.

From there it was Rivera (1 IP), Marchand (2 IP), and Gallant (2 IP/S) who shut down Nice the rest of the way.

Henri went 9 for 29 with a homer in the series.
On the hill he tossed 16 innings of ball giving up 7 runs, going 0-1.

Matthieu Michel got the series MVP.

On to the finals where Paris will take on Le Morne Rouge.
