Paris (50-25) at Montreal (36-39)

Game 1
Julien Henri gets the start and he delivers. He goes 8.1 IP allowing just 6 hits and one run. At the plate, a double and a grand slam. Julien, POG, now has an 8-7 record and is batting .306 with 6 HR's and 42 batted in.
Final is Paris 6, Montreal 1.

Game 2
A close one that saw Paris SP John Huchet struggle a bit as he couldn't make it out of the 6th. A sterling bullpen performance and 2 late runs in the 8th combined to give the Artists a 4-3 win. Gallet got another save and 8th place hitter, Kobayashi, who has coming on with the bat of late, went 2 for 4 with 3 big runs batted in.

Game 3
Laurant Mercier, fresh off the DL, singled in his first at bat. Both Michel and Kobayashi (HR) had 2 hits apiece, and Edwin DeRooj was the winning pitcher. Another save for Gallet, his 17th. Joel Coduert, having a good year for the Royals, saw his record drop to 9-4.

So, the Artists win all 3 games and head to Quebec for 3 games against the Snake Eyes, owner of the 4th best record in the FBL and leading the Canada League by 1 game over the Expedition.
