As expected the Cap Chevalier Waves were right on the heels of the Le Diamant in the standings, even if it is spring training. They were the club that offered the only serious challenge to Le Diamant last season.

What was not expected was the loss of Steve Green for four months. He's a huge part of the Le Diamant line-up and locker room and will be missed. Herve DeLage had a nagging injury through much of the spring but looks like he is ready to go, now. Herve led the team with a .483 clip.

Cosman was lights out for the Diamonds posting a microscopic 0.45 ERA to go with his 4-0 record. Burke, just the opposite, as he was tattooed going 1-3 with a 7.71 ERA.

Julien Henri hit .221 and posted up a 1-1/ 4.43 ERA on the hill.

The Diamond management will go about making the final cuts to the roster in preparation for the opening series against the Marseilles Soleis who went 13-17.
