The Journal of Julien Henri
An excellent game to win. Early lead for us, they pull within one, then we explode for 3 in the 9th. The downside, if there is to a W, is Bour came on in relief with a 4 run lead and gave up 4 hits and 3 runs. Set up was handled real nicely by Jean 'Tug' Lesage, following a quality start 7 innings for Angel Lepine (1-0).
The game got iced in the 9th when I came to bat with the bases loaded, a one run lead, and infield drawn in. What saved me? I wasn't nervous. I watched the first pitch go low and outside and never thought about swinging. Daniel Bouvard did not want to go 0-2 so he came in with heat and I drilled it right field for a single plating 2 runs.
That gives us 2 of 3 in Marseille and now we head back to our island to take on the Waves for the Le Diamant opening series. No surprise, the Diamonds, Waves, and Sting Rays are all off to a 2-1 start. Le Morne Rouge, way up in the rainforest, is 0-3..
