In the Junior BB, the two best teams in the standings are Saint-Pascal and Trois-Pistoles. They fly over the circuit and compete in hard-fought matches between the two cities. Saint-Pascal won 18-12 earlier this week against the Basques team.
In the Puribec League, Rivière-du-Loup won its first game yesterday at Stade Paul-Émile Dubé in Trois-Pistoles. The two clubs face each other again tonight on Louperivois soil, and they represent another great rivalry in the senior circuit.
“I remember when I trained them in pee-wee, it was always Trois-Pistoles against Saint-Pascal, it was the rivalry and it was always the two clubs who fought until the end in the regional final. . If we look at the senior level, Rivière-du-Loup and Trois-Pistoles have also met regularly in the playoffs. Rivalries form in the playoffs when you have the opportunity to compete against teams from here in the playoffs, rivalries form and I think that’s what has happened over the last few years. explained Yannick Dumais, coach for the junior and senior team at Trois-Pistoles.
A busy summer
Always in baseball, the Louperivois Guillaume Chénard lives a busy summer on the ball fields. He wears the cap of the Sherbrooke Expos in the Quebec Major League and Ciel Fm of Rivière-du-Loup in the Puribec League. The reliever wanted to play at the top senior level while wearing his hometown uniform. A natural for him, this summer.
“I make both teams, I’m going to Sherbrooke, it’s fun with this club and I have my ticket integrated with the team. I also like to play in my hometown too, I know all the guys in the team, it’s ball so it’s not a problem.
The one who was twice named reliever of the year in the Elite Junior League, has already managed a save with the Sherbrooke Expos in three innings pitched so far. The product of the Sphinx, who has always played in the highest levels, ensures that the talents are numerous in the Major League of Quebec.
“The caliber changes a lot. Players are more talented in the major league. Hitters are more experienced at bats and pitchers are really throwing harder. It’s a very caliber of senior baseball.”
