The French team confirmed its condition as leader of Group B defeating Ukraine by 6-2 in the European Baseball Championship that was played in Sant Boi’s Baseball Stadium.

The first 6 innings of the match were a great duel between the pitchers Leblanc and the starting Ukrainian, Ihor Litvinchuk. However, France sentenced the match with 4 runs in the 7th inning.

French 3rd base, David Meurant, made a home run and other attackers to mention were Florian Peyrichou and Joris Bert.
