Game 6
The series is going the distance. The Nice Orchids entered Arc de Triumph ballpark and took control early. The bats were big, as were the timeliness of the hits.
Some Key points to the game/series:
Paris SP Sam Smith was battered for the second time in the series. He walked two, yielded 8 hits, and allowed 5 runs to score without finishing the 4th inning.
Mathieu Michel, LF, has been untypically cold. He's batting .276 but his slash line is .276/.300/.379.
Julien Henri is hitting .421.
Herve Delage has 5 hits the last 3 games but is still batting only .217. Look for Julien to move up a slot in the order and for Herve to hit behind him.
Fares Haas, 1B for the Orchids, is hitting .423/.500/.577.
SP Herve Villiard will likely start for Nice in Game 7. He has won his last 5 starts for the Orchids.
SP Denis Merlin was roughed up seriously by Nice in his other start but will get the nod in spite of that. He has won 3 of his last 4 games.
