SAVIGNY overcame deficits in both of ends of the doubleheader in CLERMONT-FERRAND and won twice.

The ARVERNES took a 2-0 lead after RBIs by Quentin Gelineau and Brice Lorienne into the ninth inning. But the LIONS had one answer left. Jerome Rousseau scored, when CLERMONT-FERRAND misplayed a relay throw. They loaded the bases and player-coach Pierrick Lemestre smacked a pinch hit bases clearing double into center field to secure the 4-2 victory on the road. Doug Grant struck out ten in 8 1/3 innings for the loss. Lemestre also received the win on the mound, as he worked two scoreless innings in relief of starter Carlos Jiminian (7 IP, 2 ER).

SAVIGNY tied the contest in the sixth on a sac fly by Sebastien Boyer. They turned the score into their favor in the seventh, scoring three runs on two hits, two walks and an error.

Pierrick Lemestre relieved the LIONS starter after 3 1/3 innings to receive his second victory of the day.
