After the ceremonies filled with unforgettable images and indescribable emotions, charged with audacity that fuels our pride of being French, a people apart in the world, even images of baseball dotted the stunning spectacle here and there.

Two delayed Division 1 baseball games will be played this Sunday, July 28, 2024. Each of the four teams will have a lot at stake this weekend.

La Rochelle vs. Toulouse

The Tigers of Stade Toulousain were on fire last weekend, taking two wins against Rouen. They’ll be looking to avoid another disastrous away performance. However, their pitcher Rojas is still injured, and the JFL are missing due to vacations. It will be a depleted team heading to La Rochelle’s Boucan’field. The home side had a weekend full of suspense, ultimately splitting their series against the rising star of the championship, Metz. For both teams, winning both games is crucial—Toulouse to hold onto their top 4 spot and La Rochelle to keep dreaming of it. The Rochelais will need to manage their pitching relief better than they did against Metz.

Editor’s prediction: La Rochelle wins both games

Metz vs. Montigny

At home, the Cometz are extremely tough to beat. The Cougars of Montigny are in a fragile position: away game, low morale. Even though they managed to take a game from Savigny last weekend, they’ll struggle not to crack against Metz. Clearly, saving their season is becoming a tough call—they can’t keep splitting games if they want to climb back to 7th in the standings. For Metz, a double victory would put them in contention for a top 4 spot.

Editor’s prediction: Metz wins both games.
