Laurent Andrades (Montpellier Barracudas) is named WEP16. One day after Samuel Meurant’s one-hitter shutout that kept Sénart alive in the series, he didn’t leave any chance to the Templiers with 9 innings of one-run-ball. This win gave his team the ticket to the French Finals 2011 three games-to-one. The Barracudas will host the Rouen Huskies next weekend for the first two games of a best-of-five series.
In the semi-finals, Laurent is 1-0, 3.86ERA and 7K in 14 innings.
The lefty pitched one of his finest season in 2011 and his 8 wins are a new personal best. In career, he was 24-13 with 6 saves, 3.09ERA and 320 K in 358 innings. He also plays for French National Team.
