Swinging for the fences

The Fulcrum


Continuing the trend set last year, the Gee-Gees women’s fastpitch team 
has got off to a great start this season. Playing in the Ontario Women’s 
Intercollegiate Fastpitch Association (OIWFA), the 2004 team is faring 
well-through two weekends of play, the women have won six games. After 
winning the Ontario Championship in 2003, the team is hoping to follow up 
with a repeat of the same feat this year.

The coaching staff includes Brian Robertson, Scott Searle, Genevieve 
Walkden, and Gil Read. Read was the team leader of the Canadian womens 
fastpitch team that competed in Athens. The other coaches are all returning 
members of the staff that lef the team to last year’s championship.

Along with a solid returning core of players from last year are eight new 
faces. Players to watch include Lindsey Hutton and Sarah Thompson, a 
pitcher-catcher duo that has performed well this season. Another pair of 
battery mates, Erica Chan and Jennifer Blakely return this year to continue 
their domination of batters across the province. Nicole Dunlop and Danna 
Masters, who play middle infield and outfield, respectively, lead the team 
in most offensive categories.

"The core of (Last years team) has mixed well with the new group," said 
Searle. "There is good team chemistry. We have a lot of strong players."

By virtue of winning the championship last season, the Gee Gees will host 
the season-ending tournament. Searle hopes fans of the team will make the 
trip to the field to watch what Searle feels is high-quality university 
fastpitch. The women’s fastpitch team plays the Ontario Championship at the 
R.A. Centre (2451 Riverside Dr.) on the weekend of Oct. 22. The tournament 
schedule will be announced at a later date.
