Game 2
Julien Henri took the mound for the Artists in hopes of squaring off the series at one game apiece. Seventeen game winner Antony Lopez was on the mound for the Orchids.
The story of this game, very close until late in the game, were the 9 LOB and two instances where the Artist bounced into DP's with runners in scoring position.
Nice made them pay for squandering their opportunities, even though out hit, they put up 5 runs on their way to a 5-0 whitewashing of the Paris Artists. All 8 hits for Paris were from the 3 through 7 slots as the top and bottom of the order could do nothing.
Lopez gains a CG 'W' with his impressive outing and Carpientier (again) did the most damage with his two run homer in the 8th.
The teams will head back to Paris for game 3.
In Quebec the Snake Eyes evened the series against Le Morne Rouge with their 3-2 win.
