Rivière-du-Loup et Kamouraska en avance

25 août 2026 à 22:35

Le CIEL FM de Rivière-du-Loup et les Industries Desjardins du Kamouraska ont remporté le très important match no 5 de leur série, mardi soir, pour prendre les devants par trois parties à deux, respectivement contre Témiscouata et Matane.

À Rivière-du-Loup, le lanceur Paulo Henrique Noris n’a donné que deux coups sûrs, blanchissant les Braves Batitech du Témiscouata dans une victoire de 3 à 0 du CIEL-FM, devant plus de 325 spectateurs.

Le grand droitier a retiré 14 frappeurs sur trois prises utilisant 103 lancers, dont 67 prises. Hokuto Kanai encaisse la défaite. 

Les seuls points de la rencontre ont été inscrits en 3e manche quand les deux premiers frappeurs du CIEL-FM ont atteint les sentiers avant que Jimmy Durette ne frappe un double bon pour un point. Vincent Tardif, avec un simple, et Luca Morin, à l’aide d’un optionnel, ont porté le pointage à 3-0.

La prochaine partie aura lieu vendredi, 19 h 30, au parc Denis-Bouchard à Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac. Les Braves feront face à l’élimination.

Victoire facile

À Saint-Pascal, les Industries Desjardins ont tiré profit du manque de contrôle de Keisuke Takikawa en début de match pour filer vers une victoire facile de 10-2 sur les Allées du Boulevard de Matane.

Le lanceur japonais a accordé des passes gratuites aux trois premiers frappeurs à lui faire face, ce qui a mené à une première manche de quatre points. Il a été envoyé aux douches après 1 2/3 manche, le temps d’accorder un simple, sept buts sur balles et cinq points. Son total de lancers est de 60, dont 36 balles.

José Contreras a lancé les cinq premières manches accordant quatre coups sûrs et un point. Il ajoute la victoire à son dossier. Martin Bossé a complété le match au monticule.

En attaque, Enrick Jomphe a frappé un circuit bon pour deux points pendant que Charles-Étienne Lemelin frappait trois coups sûrs et produisait trois points. 

Matane fera face à l’élimination, vendredi soir, devant ses partisans.
