Game 5
It was apparent in the first inning that Le Diamant had their hands full. The 69-66 Nice Orchids have got their MoJo working. Pierson leads off with a walk and is cut down trying to steal. Henri fans. No runs for the Diamonds.
Bottom of the first and its another 2 run homer, this time off the bat of Martin. In the top of the second the Diamonds load em up with 0 outs. They score 1 run.
In the bottom of the 2nd, two more runs, all with 2 out, are plated by the Orchids. The second run scores on a wild pitch.
And, so it goes. These streaking Orchids now have the series edge at 3 games to two. The teams head back to Le Diamant for game 6.
Marseille takes out the Expedition four games to one.
