This weekend took place the final return of the 2024 French Division 2 Baseball Championship in Béziers, and the locals won to validate their ticket to the elite in 2025.
Following the first matches of the final during which Béziers took the advantage against Valenciennes, the Pirates only needed a victory to once again lift the trophy already won last year.
The first meeting of the weekend, which was to take place on Saturday October 26, 2024 on the Béziers pitch, was initially postponed until the following morning due to rain.
A postponement which will not prevent the Pirates from confirming their lead by largely winning against the Vipères: 7 to 2.
Valenciennes had however started on a high note with 2 points scored in the first half-round. Despite this, the Béziers advanced towards second in the lead having responded three times (3-2).
The Hérault offensive force will not weaken with 11 hits in total and 4 other points scored (3 in 3rd round and 1 in 4th round). On the mound, however, the domination of Dazell, American pitcher from Béziers, only increased. A complete match launched and no less than 10 strike outs for the one who was one of the great architects of the title. The Vipers will no longer be able to do anything and will have to settle for second place.
Already crowned in 2021 and 2023, the Baseball Club Biterrois wins the Division 2 title for the third time and will taste the joys of Division 1 for the first time in its history in 2025.
