Baseball and Softball – Sunday, April 13: the weekend’s stakes
Division 1 Baseball: a well-deserved break
No games scheduled for the elite of French baseball this Sunday. Division 1, up to date in its calendar, takes this reserve weekend to catch their breath before the next clashes.
Division 1 Women’s Softball: early trends take shape
Second matchday of the championship and already some early gaps emerging. Three teams made a strong start with a perfect opening: Colombes, Saint-Raphaël, and Évry-Courcouronnes aim to confirm their status.
The weekend’s showdown pits Colombes against Saint-Raphaël: a top-of-the-table clash between a proven side and an ambitious newcomer looking to shake up the hierarchy. Meanwhile, Évry-Courcouronnes – the Comanches – take on the Grizzlys, with a clear goal of taking sole command of the standings.
Lower down, Clapiers and Pessac, both beaten on the opening day, will be looking to finally kickstart their season and avoid getting bogged down.
Division 2 Baseball: early confirmations expected
It’s also the second matchday for Division 2, and some will already need to dig deep. Montigny, in search of confidence, travel to the formidable Vipères de Valenciennes, serious contenders for promotion.
Another tough fixture: Bréal-sous-Montfort, the Panthers, make their debut against the PUC, a tricky opponent to maneuver.
Also worth watching is the short but revealing trip by Nice to La Vallée du Gapeau, which could give a first indication of their true potential this season.
Finally, Meyzieu host Clermont-Ferrand, with the Clermontois back against the wall after a difficult start to the season (0 wins in 2 games). Time to react.
