SP Dave Corronado was the clear star of this game that saw the series level at two games each.

On the mound, Corronado was almost unhittable, at least until the 8th inning, when he tired a bit and gave up a pair of runs, in part because the reliever Cosman couldn't retire a batter. No point in messing around as Gallant entered the scene, put out the fire, then pitched a perfect 9th.

In the batter box Corronado had two key base hits early on that plated two runs while scoring twice. Jean Monnet at the bottom of the order had a pair of hits and Mattheu Michel had two (3 RBI's) in the lead off spot giving Paris potent production from the 8, 9, and 1st batters in the order.

The Artists won it 7-4 in front of 26,541 fans. The two teams play tomorrow setting up an elimination game for one of the teams when they return to Nice.

In Le Morne Rouge the Toucans have pushed Quebec to the brink and now lead the series 3-1. But, they lost Pascal Simon their CF for about a week with an injury.
