It was this Saturday that the 2024 campaign opened for the Voyageurs de Jonquière in the Quebec Junior Elite Baseball League. Before the home opener on May 30, the team now led by Jérémie Chalifour will play six games on the road. In the first duel against the Charlesbourg Alouettes, the Voyageurs won 7 to 1.

The Saguenay team will strike in their first turn at bat, taking advantage of three errors from the opponent. With two runners on the trails, newcomer Hugo Benoit brings the score to 4-0 with his first circuit of the season.

On the mound, Chalifour decided to give the ball to the first pick of the last draft, right-hander Jérémie Labonté. In his first junior match, he left a good impression, conceding only one point, undeserved, during the second inning. He will pitch a total of four innings where he will allow four hits in addition to striking out three times.

The Voyageurs will add two points in the fourth and another in the sixth to sign their first in their first game of the year.

The same two teams will meet again on Wednesday, still near Parc Henri-Casault in Charlesbourg,
