April 1, 1966 Away Opener
The Diamonds open the season on the road in France against Fountain Bleu, a team that has never qualified for the post-season. The Anciens Combattants had a 17-13 S.T. record good for first place in the France League. With three of the top four prospects in their system, they are a team of the future, and the future may not be far off.
Herve DeLage opened the second inning with an opposite field homer to tie the game at 2-2. THREE dropped fly balls by the usually sure handed center fielder doomed the Anciens Combattants to an opening day loss. Cosman earns the W for Le Diamant.
