Aguascalientes vs Toros de Tijuana

Savigny's ability to score early in both games forced Montpellier to chase from behind. In the second match, the Barracudas' offence came alive too late — the deficit was already too deep to overcome against a Savigny pitching staff that finished the regular season with the league's best record.

• Savigny's offence: 26 runs across two games against a Montpellier staff that entered the weekend with the third-best ERA in Division 1. The Lions' lineup produced in bunches, particularly in Saturday's 18-run explosion.
• Montpellier's bats: After managing only 5 runs on Saturday, the Barracudas improved to 5 on Sunday but it was not enough to split the series.
• Savigny's pitching staff: Held Montpellier in check for most of the doubleheader, forcing the Barracudas to play from behind in every inning of consequence.

The sweep flipped the Division 1 table decisively. Savigny finished at 20-8 (.714), one game clear of Rouen (19-9, .679). Montpellier dropped to 17-11 (.607), tied with La Rochelle for third. The Lions outscored Montpellier 26-10 over the two games.

Savigny enters the playoffs as the No. 1 seed and will face No. 4 La Rochelle Boucaniers (17-11) in the semi-finals, scheduled for 12-13 September 2026. Montpellier, as the No. 3 seed, draws No. 2 Rouen Huskies (19-9) — a rematch of a series Rouen dominated in August, winning both games while extending their winning streak to seven. The semi-finals are a best-of-three format.

Savigny delivered a statement weekend: dominant offence, composed pitching and the league's best record. Montpellier has a week to rediscover the form that carried them to 17 wins before running into a red-hot Lions team. The playoffs promise no respite.
