Bilan 5ème journée D1 Soft Féminin

The D1 women’s league arrived this weekend with its share of challenges. At the top, Saint-Raphaël is advancing like a disciplined army, eight wins in eight games, a perfect percentage that would make any coaching staff pale. Just behind, Évry-Courcouronnes and Pessac are tied, six wins each, ready to pounce at the slightest flaw of the Comanches.

Lower down, Colombes and Grenoble share the same record, two wins for six losses, two teams that play better than their rankings suggest, but who now have to turn intentions into results. And then there is Nice, still in search of its first success, a team that has nothing to lose and can become the pebble in the gears of any opponent.

Confrontations for different challenges: who for the struggle for the throne, who for the battle to stay in the top three, who for the sporting survival.

Some teams can confirm their status. Others can relaunch everything. And only one certainty hangs over this day: nothing is fixed, nothing is acquired, and the dynamics can change quickly.

Wildcats vs Grizzlys

MATCH 1 — Colombes 7-6 Grenoble

Colombes n’a pourtant frappé que cinq hits, mais chaque apparition au bâton a constitué une menace et les Wildcats se sont nourries des erreurs grenobloises.

Garance Viguier ouvre les hostilités en marquant deux fois, avec 1 hit, 1 walk et surtout deux bases volées qui mettent immédiatement la pression. Nadia Dozova traverse le match comme une ombre insaisissable : un hit, trois passages gratuits, aucune élimination au bâton, une présence constante sur les sentiers.

Elle ne force rien, mais elle fait tout. Estelle Meyer ajoute un RBI, tandis que Christina Poley produit deux points sans frapper.Only one hit, thanks to her perfect timing and sacrifice.

Hermine Boudousq scores three times, hits two singles, and gets one walk. Shirley Patin, patient and dangerous, adds a hit, an RBI, two walks, and a double. Kristyna Korousova hits two singles and scores one RBI, Justine Liardet adds two more with a perfectly placed single. But all of this is not enough: too many defensive errors, too many points given.

MATCH 1 – Évry-Courcouronnes 8-1 Pessac

In the first game, Évry hit twelve times, produced eight runs, stole three bases, and never let Pessac get into a rhythm.

The Évry defense was also solid, holding Pessac to just one run on four hits.Match 1 — Pessac 1-5 Évry-CourcouronnesThe match tells a different story. After suffering the Pharaonnes’ law, Pessac comes back with a different determination. The match turns into a pitchers’ duel, a tug of war where each base becomes a stake and each error a deadly risk.

Évry, this time, does not find the key. Only two hits: a single by Lila d’Hauteville, another by Emma Liminier. Lisa Anaïs Papoin gets a walk, d’Hauteville and Papoin steal a base each, but nothing passes. The Pharaonnes leave nine outs behind them, unable to break Pessac’s shell.

And this shell is forged by Louise Le Chenadec. Seven complete innings, only two hits conceded, no runs, nine outs, a calmness of ice. She suffocates Évry, hit after hit, inning after inning.

Pessac, on the other hand, plays the perfect game: only three hits, but one point that changes everything. Laurence Cornaille hits a double, Alexandra Just adds a single, Isaure Gourgue signs a hit and a sacrifice, and Gabrielle Pedarzacq produces the only RBI of the game. A point snatched in a match where every inch counted.The Panthers defense holds strong despite two errors, and most importantly, they never break. A collective performance that contrasts with the first match.

The Khaleesi of the Match 2 is Louise Le Chenadec. Her pitching performance left no room for doubt with 7 innings, 2 hits conceded, and 9 batters retired.

The first half of the championship has now passed. From now on, each team enters the part of the calendar where illusions die and ambitions are revealed.

During the next round on May 10th, the Pharaonnes d’Évry-Courcouronnes will travel to Colombes, a journey that has all the characteristics of an expedition in unpredictable territory. The Wildcats, proud and indomitable, have never accepted defeat, and Évry knows that a mistake could cost more than just a game.

At the same time, the Saint-Raphaël Comanches, undefeated and feared like a Dothraki army, will ride towards Grenoble. The Grizzlys, on the other hand, will have to face the unbeaten Comanches.vendront chèrement leur peau et parfois, c’est dans ces terres-là que les géants tombent.

Enfin, Nice voyagera jusqu’à Pessac, où les Panthères attendent, tapies dans l’ombre, prêtes à bondir. Le Cavigal n’a plus rien à perdre, et les équipes sans chaînes sont souvent les plus dangereuses. Les Panthères le savent, et elles ne laisseront rien au hasard.
