Sting Rays travel to Paris
Anse d'Arlet, the town just west of Le Diamant in Martinique, travels to Paris to take on another first place team.
The Sting Rays are not accustomed to being near the top of the Martinique standings as that has always been reserved for Le Diamant and Cap Chevalier. But, the winds are changing direction on the French island and the Sting Rays are parlaying good pitching and defense into a run for the Martinique pennant.
In 1962 and 1963, just prior to the Le Diamant dynasty, it was Anse d'Arlet who won the league championship. Hard times have fallen on the village area in the bay until recently.
The upcoming series is a test to see if Anse d'Arlet can match up against the best team in the league, the champs, Paris Artists. Sebastian Vincent will be the pitcher in the 3rd game of the series. Fortunately, for the Artists, they will not have to face #2 SP Richard Maze, 3-0 with 1.10 ERA.
