Classic Game
It was an old fashioned pitchers duel in Arc de Triumphe ball park this evening that ended when Yao Namada delivered a pinch single scoring Herve DeLage from second base. The 1-0 victory allowed the Artists to remain tied with the surging Nice Orchids. Both teams are 19-10.
It was Merlin's most dominant performance of the season, by far. His 9 IP was the longest stint of the year for him. In his previous outing the Orchids roughed him up for 7 runs on 12 hits chasing Merlin after only 5 innings of work. Denis has a 4.3/K to W ration going this season, a career best for the man from Glageon, a small village in the northern part of France.
CF/SP Julien Henri is hitting at a .371 clip and is 2-3 on the hill.
