In the absence of MLB baseball in the province of Quebec, big baseball is currently being played in Quebec City.
Indeed, the Quebec Capitales are currently in the Frontier League final against the Evansville Otters, a team based in the state of Indiana.
And the least we can say is that the Capitale-Nationale team puts on quite a show!
In the first best-of-five duel, the Capitals came from behind no less than three times, including the icing on the sundae, a three-point long ball at the end of the ninth inning to save themselves with the match.
Another magic trick of which only Stade Canac seems to know the secret.
In a campaign where the Capitals broke their own attendance record, welcoming 166,916 fans, the end of this one is all that could be hoped for.
Quebec first won the regular season championship in the very last game of the campaign, before taking the measure of the New Jersey Jackals in the semi-final, with two equally exciting performances at home.
Then, last night’s match (Tuesday) added another layer to this exceptional season.
To think that there could be a team in Montreal that would have the chance to offer the same kind of show. Imagine an Eastern final between the two rival teams from both ends of Highway 20 or a suicide match between Montreal and Trois-Rivières. Candy.
It is high time that the metropolis follows suit in this direction.
To return to the Capitals, they will play their last match in Quebec in 2023 this evening before flying to Evansville to try to win top honors.
If you can be there, it’s not to be missed!
