FRENCH ELITE LEAGUE SEASON GETS UNDERWAY

Although last year’s top two teams are in Italy for this week’s European Cup competition the French Elite League began its 2009 regular season last weekend as the remaining six teams swung into action.


Derek Malikian led the way as Montigny topped Claremont-Ferrand 10-2 in their opening contest. Malikian, who played for Solingen in the German League in 2008, stroked four hits for Montigny, including a home run. Claremont-Ferrand came back to earn a split by winning the second game, also by a 10-2 score. Former Phillies farmhand Ben Pfinsgraff was the winning pitcher for the Arvernes. In other French League action, Stade Toulousain and La Guerche split a two-game series, while Savigny and Barracudas did likewise in their two-game set.
