MONTREAL, July 10, 2022 – We were treated to a completely junior baseball day across the province, with no less than 12 games being presented, or 6 doubleheaders. Here is a comprehensive recap of that baseball day.
The Cardinals get two wins in front of their fans
MATCH 1 – Victory of Lasalle 18 to 9

MATCH 2 – Victory of Lasalle 4 to 3
The highlight: A big fifth inning for the Cardinals, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the bottom of the fifth by scoring three runs, then scoring the deciding run in the bottom of the sixth inning. It was Louka Leduc, with a double that sent Raphaël Delisle home, who produced the run in question in the sixth.
Performance to remember: Ryan Ieraci (1-0) obtained the first victory of his career in the LBJÉQ by pitching two innings in relief, giving up an earned run on three hits and striking out four batters on three strikes. Mathis Jolicoeur did well with a two-run homer, also the first of his career.
Two Diamond wins on Sunday, eight in a row
CHARLESBURG | The Diamonds of Quebec signed two victories against the Ducs de Longueuil, on Sunday, by the count of 1 to 0 and 8 to 3 in a double program disputed at Henri-Casault Park exceptionally. These two victories are added to the streak of six that the Diamonds had before the start of the game, which therefore makes it eight in a row for the troop of Karl Gélinas.
MATCH 1 – Victory of Quebec 1 to 0

Ludovic Messier (3-1) did not allow an earned run in six innings for Longueuil, but suffered his first loss in 2022.
