Julien Henri and the Paris Artists are engaged in a 7 game series against their divisional rival the Marseille Soleils. The Artists dominated the regular season (10-2) but the Soleils and their speedy baserunners and the big bat of Koji Nagashimi are not ready to lay down for the best regular season team.
The Soleils won game 3 at home with a convincing 7-1 win as they scored more runs off Denis Merlin in that win than his previous five starts combined.
In the other first round match up Le Diamont, Julien Henri's original team before he defected to the Paris Artists via free agency, is up 3-0 over the Eastern Canadien division winner the Ottawa Expedition. Le Diamant is gunning for their 6th title (3 were with Henri on the team).
