We are in the middle of our annual season review series of the European Baseball leagues. After Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, we are going to take a look at the French Elite League.
Savigny Lions
2010 Record: 20-4
2010 Ranking: 1st place in French Elite League after regular season. During the semi-final round the Savigny Lions went 5-4 and reached the championship series for a second straight year. But again the Rouen Huskies had the happy ending after four games. At the European Cup in Rotterdam Savigny won just one of five games and finished in sixth place out of six teams. The Lions decided afterwards not to participate in the European Cup Playoff and the French Federation lost one of its two A-Pool spots.
