Game 12
The Artists got a big hit from Herve Delage that scored the winning run in the top of the 9th in Montreal. Paris had both Mercier and Henri on the bench so offensive punch was somewhat lacking.
Bob Juhan, RF, in a rare start took advantage as he had two hits including a triple and batted in a pair. Luke Hicks, back up middle infielder, had not hit a home run since 1969. In the 3rd he connected for just the 2nd time in 675 AB's.
Sam Smith did not earn the win but going 7 IP (2 runs/1 earned) kept the Artists in the ball game. Former Cap Chevalier closer Gallet labored for 45 pitches, blew the save in the 8th, but held down the fort in the 9th to earn the win.
