Classement A
The PUC hosted the Rouen Huskies. The visitors dominated both games, thrashing Paris 0-8 and 3-11.

Rouen made zero defensive errors while Paris committed five… Prioul earned the win (4-1) with a save by Mercadier. The second game followed the same pattern. Rouen collected 9 hits, including two doubles, while Paris managed just 5. No defensive errors allowed Moulin (3-1) to secure the victory with a save by Camacho (1). Rouen remains top of their group at 9-3, while Paris stays in fifth place with a 3-9 record.
The scores were 2-1 and 1-12 between Toulouse and the Savigny Lions, who didn’t travel for nothing.

Classement B
The Boucaniers also traveled to the Paris region to face the Templiers. Undefeated, the Sénart side stuck to their winning ways, even though they were pushed to the limit. In the first game, won by the home team 11-4, the Rochelaise squad managed 8 hits (two doubles by Suazo and Esteban, and a triple by Lakemeche) against the hosts’ 13 (three doubles by Brown, Holland, and Peyrichou). The Rochelaise made 3 defensive errors, while Sénart had just one. Priest earned the win (5-0), while Nieves took the loss (3-3). In the second game, the Templiers were leading until the seventh inning. But their offensive depth proved decisive. The Boucaniers’ 5 hits weren’t enough against the hosts’ 11 (four doubles by Perdomo, Holland, Mapakou, and Launay). The Templiers made one defensive error, while the Boucaniers had none. A missed opportunity for the maritime side, much like the Stade Toulousain against the Lions. WP Belisle (3-0). LP Oliveros (2-2). The Templiers are second with a 12-0 record. The Boucaniers are third at 6-8.
Nice had a great day, winning both games against the Cometz 4-3 and 14-3. No stats are available for these matches. A solid performance by the Cavigals, who until recently were quite isolated but now share the same record (4-12) with Metz and Clermont.
No data is available for the final match, which saw the Clermont Arvernes host the MUC. The Barracudas were overpowered by the tenacious Clermont side, who couldn’t quite surpass the league leaders. Montpellier won both games 1-3 and 0-5. In the standings, the Barracudas lead the way with 14 wins and no losses… The Arvernes share the same record (4-12) with Metz and Nice.
