Subject: Italy calls for top softballer
Message-ID: <14010914.30603@webbox.com>


SOFTBALL star Melinda Weaver is polishing up on her Italian after
being signed by one of Europe?s top professional clubs. 
In a move the 2008 Caboolture Shire Sportsperson of the Year
never dreamed possible, she will fly to Italy in March to join
Mosca Macerata. 
The giant club plays in the Italian Professional Softball League
Division 1 where players can earn a decent living in one of the
toughest softball competitions in the world. 
It is an opportunity Weaver, 20, admits she would never have
had if she stayed in Australia, which is still reeling from softball?s
axing from the London Olympics in 2012. 
``It doesn?t happen in Australia. Going overseas is something
I?ve always wanted to do, but I just never thought I?d get the
opportunity,?? she said. 
``Especially now funding has been cut before the next Olympics,
we?re not even close (to a professional league in Australia).
Our competition?s good, but there?s no money to sustain what
we?ve got. 
``No doubt the game has (stagnated) and that?s why we?re trying
to push toward expanding the game in Australia and overseas.
It?s just difficult at the moment.?? 
Weaver will be made to feel at home at Macerata alongside two
former Australian Spirit stalwarts, catcher Kym Tollenaere and
pitcher Jocelyn McCallum. 
Tollenaere alerted the Italians to Weaver?s talents. 
The Aussie trio make up Macerata?s three allocated imports for
the six-month Italian regular season which starts in April. 
Before then, Weaver will continue leading Queensland?s tilt at
winning the Gilley?s Shield, which has replaced the old Australian
Fastpitch Championships. 
Queensland sits top of the table heading into Round 3 starting
on Thursday.

Softball player happy to stay home

Jillian Taylor won multiple MVP awards for the Orl?ans Rebels
and Ottawa Gee-Gees. Photo supplied 
Softball player happy to stay home 
Orl?ans Rebels softball player Jill Taylor is expecting this
Christmas season won?t be quite as chaotic as the last one. 
At this time last year, she had settled into her role as a pitcher
for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees and was finally getting
her education on track after she was set back due to a failed
attempt at playing for a small Florida school on an athletic
scholarship.

But then Taylor got a call on Dec. 28, 2007 asking her if she
would join Simon Fraser University ? the home of many Canadian
national team players ? for the winter semester and their spring
season. And she?d have to be there in about a week.

?I thought, ?That is such a huge opportunity and I would love
it,? but it was really overwhelming,? says Taylor, who flew out
to Vancouver to see the campus and practice with the softball
team for a week, but returned to Ottawa for the second week of
school. ?It was the shock of not being prepared at all to move
away. (The offer) was a huge compliment ? I felt really honoured
? but it was not something I could fully commit to.?

Taylor was coming off a season where she was named the Gee-Gees?
team MVP, and because she was registering for classes late, none
of her courses would transfer back to Ottawa U. Although she
says the Simon Fraser offer would have been perfect in her first
year, Taylor decided it wasn?t the right fit or the right time
to make that big a change.

?I think Jill was really hurt by growing up in Ottawa ? Ontario?s
one of the best provinces for ball, but the top teams are all
from Toronto,? says Gee-Gees coach Scott Searle, who also coaches
for the Rebels and is a teacher at St. Peter Catholic High School.
?She lacked exposure and elite competition, so I think that hurt
her development at the beginning.?

It wasn?t until Taylor started competing at the university level,
and the Rebels began drawing players from as far as Pembroke
and Kingston, that Taylor really blossomed and attracted more
attention. This past summer, Taylor was named MVP of the provincial
under-23 championships as the Rebels earned the first trip to
nationals for an Ottawa team in a decade. She followed that up
with her second Gee-Gees team MVP award in the fall, and also
took home top pitcher honours from the Ontario university finals.

?With the university team and expanding the Orl?ans team, she?s
been able to compete against better teams and she?s really been
able to bring her game up,? Searle says, pegging Taylor as one
of the best five or six players in Canada who aren?t on the national
team. ?She?s one of the most dominant players in Ontario now.?

Taylor, who was also the Gee-Gees? top hitter, doesn?t expect
she?ll get another chance to make it to the national team level
as a player, but she?s quite eager to help the next generation
try to reach those goals. Taylor has helped out with clinics
? for free, Searle notes ? and can frequently be found at the
ballpark, often with her dad, teaching youngsters how to pitch.

?I just love working with kids,? says Taylor, whose Starbucks
job four days a week starts at 5 a.m. ?I think it?s important
for kids to have a positive coach who?s knowledgeable in what
they?re doing.?

Taylor hasn?t had time to coach a team of her own yet, and for
now she?s hoping that her playing career with the Gee-Gees can
continue ? she?s applied for teacher?s college at the school
for fall 2009.

?I love the Gee-Gees. I?m really sad that it could be my last
year,? Taylor says, noting trips in rented vans to tournaments
were her favourite memories ? even when they got lost in places
like Deseronto without directions, cell phone service, gas, or
any sign of life. ?Even though I play for softball, when I think
back to Gee-Gees, I think of all the fun we?ve had and the friendships
we?ve made through those trips.?

I am writing to you all to get some information on men's fastpitch
here in the midwest. I am interested in playing 45-over fastpitch
or modified in a league or with a traveling team. 

l am looking for league info: what cities have leagues, if any?;
Who might I contact in those areas? Also, are there traveling
teams in some communities still? What communities have teams?
Do they have openings or conduct tryouts? Who might I contact
with those teams? 

If you know a team that has an opening or a tryout, here is some
basic info on me if you might be interested: I am originally
from the Knoxville, TN area and played college baseball at Lincoln
Memorial University in Harrogate, TN (1980-1984). After graduation
in 1984, I played 7 seasons of ASA Men's Major and Men's Major
Modified Fastpitch all over the south. I played for teams in
Knoxville and Morristown, TN. We played leagues during the week
in Rogersville, TN and Morristown, TN and played the major tournaments
on weekends (Atlanta, Chattanooga, Durham, Morristown, Miami).
Our teams had good success, winning several major tournaments
and appearing at the Men's Major Modified National Tournament
in Decatur, AL. I was a catcher primarily when I played but can
play anywhere. I am 6'0" and weigh 180 lbs and in good shape.
I am sure I could probably still find some of the guys I played
with down there as references if you would need them. The only
guy that I did play against that I know from the midwest is Al
White (currently coach at Madonna Univ.). Al played out of Miami,
FL and our paths crossed quite a bit during that time at the
major tournaments. I moved to Bourbonnais, IL in 1990 and am
employed by Olivet Nazarene University. I have coached fastpitch
since 1995 at ONU and the Univ. of Illinois. 

Again, I appreciate any direction that you all can give me. I
really love the mens game and am really excited to find out about
it here in the midwest. Please feel free to call me at (815)
939-5166 or e-mail here at ONU. Thanks again.

Congratulations Darren - always a class act on the field... all
the best 
in the ISC II with your son. Being from the Mi'kmaq Nation in
Nova 
Scotia, I had a chance to meet Mr. Zack during the 2005 Canadian

Championships in Windsor/St. Croix when we entered our Cape Breton

Thunder team (which was comprised half of native players) as
well as the 
2005 North American Indigenous Games in Denver, Colorado. 

He is always such a gracious ambassador for the great game of
fastpitch 
softball everywhere he goes, so kudos to the ISC for allowing
him the 
ability to continue his career and the opportunity to play with
his son 
on the same team... Please send along our congratulations and
best 
wishes!! Go get 'em Darren!

Sincerely,
Robert Bernard
Nova Scotia


Ken,

Congratulations on a superb decision. This is a gracious and
judicious
gesture that should make us all proud.

Thanks,

I applaud the ISC's decision re granting Darren Zack's eligibility

The University of Ottawa 's competitive sports banquet on April
2nd concluded a great week for the Gee-Gees softball program.


  

Jillian Taylor and Vanessa Homiak were awarded Quest for Gold
scholarships from the Provincial Womens Softball Association
and the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion. These scholarships
are awarded to elite athletes who live, study and train in Ontario
based on athletic performance. Jill and Vanessa received the
scholarship based on their performance in 2008 where both athletes
led their respective club teams to medals at the Ontario Provincials
and the Jr. Womens National Championship in Summerside Prince
Edward Island . Vanessa led the Pickering Heat to a Gold Medal
at the Provincials and a Silver Medal at the Canadian Championships.
Vanessa was critical to the teams success at the Nationals with
2 game-winning RBI's. Jillian was instrumental in the Orleans
Rebels bronze medal performance at the Provincials, and was named
the tournaments MVP. These scholarships are worth $8,000 each
and are a great incentive for Ontario athletes to train at home.


  

Sustaining the program's reputation for academic excellence,
we maintained our 100% graduation rate and two of our athletes
were accepted into teacher's college at the University of Ottawa
. Elissa Sivel and Jillian Taylor will don the garnet and grey
in 2009 in their last year of eligibility. 

  

Finally, Jillian Taylor was named the Competitive Sports Club
Female Athlete of the Year for her 2008 performance. Jill finished
the year with 13 wins for the Gee-Gees, leading the team to a
silver medal at the Provincial Championships. She set a team
records for wins, most strikeouts, lowest ERA (.71) and most
stolen bases in a season (11) . Jillian was second in the team
in batting average (0.477), hits (31) and runs scored (15). Significant
accolades came with this very successful season ??? Jillian was
awarded the team MVP, the Top Pitcher in the league (OIWFA),
a Quest for Gold Scholarship and an Ottawa Sports Award for the
Top Softball Player in the city. 

Jillian joins Gee-Gees Alumni Danna Masters (2003) and Lindsey
McLaughlin (2005 , 2006) in winning this prestigious award amongst
17 other competitive sports clubs within the University .  

  

The Gee-Gees will de-centralize for the summer as they all chase
various athletic goals throughout the summer before re-convening
in the fall in their quest for an OIWFA Championship and their
first appearance at a University National Championship.

"When looking at the Gee-Gees??? competitive clubs, the women???s
fastball team stands out as one of the most successful. The Gee-Gees
were among the cream of the crop in the Ontario Intercollegiate
Women???s Fastball Association (OIWFA) regular season, collecting
an impressive 14-4 record by the season???s end. In the playoffs,
the Gees were almost unstoppable, defeating the Laurier Golden
Hawks, Queen???s Golden Gaels, and Windsor Lancers in the round-robin
portion of the OIWFA championships. Although the team ultimately
fell 5-1 to the Western Mustangs in the championship game, this
did not marr an otherwise excellent season. The team are perennial
medal contenders in OIWFA, and this year has added to their string
of success."
 
 
The Gee-Gees will de-centralize for the summer as they all chase
various athletic goals throughout the summer before re-convening
in the fall in their quest for an OIWFA Championship and their
first appearance at a University National Championship.

year with a .393 batting average and a sluggingpercentage of
.538. She also led the team in RBI?s with 31 on the season.On
the mound, Hagan has dominated opposing batters as she can throw
a varietyof pitches while reaching 56-58 mph on the radar gun.

Hagan also has plenty of experience playing at the provincial

In 2008, her team won a silver medal at the Alberta Provincial
Championship andparticipated at the Canada Cup, placing sixth
out of 21 teams. One year prior,Hagan played for Team Alberta
at the Western Canada Games where the team wonbronze. She also
won silver at the Canadian Bantam Nationals in Montreal, whereshe
was recognized as the Player of the Game. In 2006, her team went
on to winthe bronze medal at the Alberta Summer Games.

Uponviewing her profile and meeting with Hagan and her family,
Nemish immediatelyknew that she would be a great fit for the
program as well as the college.?She has a tremendous work ethic
and is dedicated to the game offastball. She is also an excellent
student in the classroom. Janna has plenty of experience in pressure
situations and she will bring an added dimension to our program.
We arelooking forward to having her in our lineup next season.?

Hagan hada chance to visit the college this pastFebruary before
choosing to enroll at Durham. She was able to talk to academicand
athletic staff, meet some of the current players and tour the
excellentfacilities on campus.

?Ifeel that Janna will fit right in with our returning players
in seeing themtogether in the short time she was here,? commented
Nemish. ?Alongwith all of our returning freshmen class and a
couple of third year veterans, the addition of Janna will only
help to make usstronger for this fall.?

medal performancein 2008. The Lords have won provincial medals
in twelve consecutive seasons havecollected a total of 26 since
1981 (14 gold, 8 silver, 4 bronze), the most ofany college in

Durham Lords Media Release
Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Durham College women?s fastball adds two Scarborough Stingrays
for the 2009 season

Oshawa, Ont. ? Durham College Women?s Fastball Head Coach Jim
Nemish is proud to announce the addition of two players for the
upcoming season. Joining the 2009 Lords fastball team are Shannon
Stevenson (Scarborough, Ont.) and Tiana Cosentino ( Toronto,
Ont.).

Shannon Stevenson is a product of the Scarborough Stingrays fastball
program. In 2008, she batted .402 for the Stingrays and helped
guide the team to their regular season and playoff championship.
In 2007, Stevenson was part of the Scarborough team that captured
a bronze medal at the Eastern Canadian Championship and the Provincial
Championship. Stevenson is also a multi-sport star as she was
the Varsity Hockey captain in 2007, 2008 and 2009, picking up
MVP honours in 2007 for R.H. King Academy.

?Shannon is a catcher/first baseman and will be looked upon to
take some of the load off veteran catcher Shannon Ferguson,?
said Lords Head Coach Jim Nemish. ?Her skills behind the plate
are outstanding and she will also give us some depth at first
base. We look forward to having her in the lineup next year.?

Joining her Scarborough Stingrays teammate for the 2009 edition
of the Lords will be Tiana Cosentino. In 2008, Cosentino batted
.419 for Scarborough with a .612 slugging percentage and 26 runs
batted in, helping the team to a regular season and playoff crown.
She is a natural third baseman but she has the skills to play
anywhere on the field. Cosentino was also a member of the bronze
medal winning team at the 2007 Eastern Canadian Championship.

?Tiana has a good work ethic, a strong arm and the ability to
play multiple positions,? said Nemish. ?We look for her to add
some power to the team and much needed bench strength to our
program.?

Cosentino and Stevenson will join Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park,
Alta.) as the freshman class on this year?s squad, although Nemish
is still looking to strengthen the team with a couple more new
recruits. The rookies combined with veteran talent returning
to the team will put the Lords in good position heading into
2009 in an attempt to win the school?s 15th OCAA fastball championship.

the Tournament

Al,
Here is a link to a Softball West magazine article on our men's
league in San Francisco...only 5 "B" teams.

  http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=68772086079&h=FW4NH&u=5u9Ey

Over 200 fastball teams in the city in the 60's.  Anyway, thought
you might like it for your site.  Wow, you have over 500 connects
on Linked In....that must make you linked in some degree to the
entire planet.
Best,
Dirk McCall, San Francisco Crabs

to help with Polish origin and double passport. This team is
very new - they go for the first time to European Championship,
have no experience. I am trying to help them to develope softball
and ended up with this position....
 
I know you do men but I do not know where to advertise this request.
I would appreciate very much if you could give me some hint (websites

I was able to watch the championship of a Tournament in Topeka
KS last weekend. A very young team from Topeka, the Toros, you
can check their website, beat Tony Peoples in the championship
hitting two impressive home runs. Their coach also said they
beat former Pan Am pitcher Chris Bigelo in back to back games
in the Championship over a memorial day Tournament in Kansas
City the weekend before. I checked their website and they have
won all 4 tournaments they have played in and are like 24 and
1. Interesting bunch most look like they are in their early 20's.
Good to see the game trying to hang on with some young players

 As you are all aware of the up and coming events of saturday
eg world series match
 
i'm going to give a run down on the coaching clinc which start

for all circumstances.
 
The invite was sent out to ages from tee-ball to under 19's
 
The total clinc willl run about 1 hour and forty mins
 
The break down on the clinc
 
 
INTRODUCTION (APPOX 8mins )
 
                     - this will be a brief introduction on what
how the clinc will conducted
                     - An brief introduction of the world series
players ( general info )
                     - Will break the kids up into ages group
-tee-ball  ( approx 2 groups)
                                                            
             - under 12's ( approx 2 groups)
                                                            
             -under 14's   ( approx 2 groups)
                                                            
             - under 16's and 19's (approx 1 group)
 
( these will have to be organise properly on the day due to unknown
numbers, if large number of tee-ballers more groups will be made,
if small amount of 14, 16 and 19' could be combined )
 
For the tee-ball and 12's  there will be stations set-up and
rotating after 20-25mins 
14's depending on numbers will be in the rotation or will join
in with 16 and 19's
16's and 19's will have specialist training on the main diamond
 
Groups will be broken up:

Josh davidson, Juilan jermont , Tom Bailey  -  BATTING
 
Zenon Winters, Terry Downs , Jason Nathan - UNDER 16'S AND 19'S

 
THESE GROUPS MAY CHANGE ON THE DAY - SPECIALIST TRAINING WILL
HOPEFULLY INVOLVE ALL OF THE WORLD SERIES PLAYERS 
 
 
WARM-UP ( APPROX 15mins )
 
once the kids have been spilt up into the groups, they will go
for a warm-up run followed by a stretch. Emphasis to the kids
on the importance of stretching. 
 
STATIONS (20mins)  = 4 stations X 20mins = 80mins
 
WARM-DOWN (10-15mins )
 
Once again emphasize to the kids on the importance of stretching
 
i will have drills to do at the stations which will go through
on the day.

  Play continued Monday night in the Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball
League  out in Azilda .In the opner the Dog House North Stars
(1-1) picked up their firsr victory of the season as the Parry
Island Hawks forfiethed because of the lack of players to give
the North Stars a 7-0 win.

held every year since the sad death of  Officer Rick McDonald
killed on duty.This year we will also remember Dan McDonald ,Rick's
brother who for so many years was one of the leaders of this
event and was killed in a car accident  last year. Every year
several police(both ladies and men constables) teams from across
Ontario come to Greater Sudbury to play some weekend slo-pitch
 but also a fastball tournament is held in memory of Rick who
was an excellent ball player from the Sudbury league. Everything
gets underway Friday night on all three fields in Azilda .Don't
forget there is BBQ all weekend plus a dance Saturday night.This
year there will be 8 competing teams in the fastball section
. The eight teams have been divided into two divisions of four
. There will be divisional round robbin games for both Friday
and Saturday followed by two semi finals and a championship game
on Sunday. In semi final action the top teams in each division

Players looking for a Team to play with this season:

First and Last Name:  Lisa
Position/s:  Short, 1st, 2nd, 3rd,  Catcher
Current Hometown: Sault Ste. Marie	
State/Province: Ontario
Date Posted: June 20, 2009
Your Bio:  Not much to tell, many years of competitive fastball,
 good athlete all round, consistent hitter, regular workout regime,
experienced in team activities (fundraising, organizing events),
has full-time job, vehicle to travel, dependable and committed.
That pretty much sums it up.   Looking for organization and commitment.
 I won?t waste my time and money on teams that aren?t in it to
win!

Notes:  Looking for a woman?s fastball team for All Ontario Native
Fast pitch Tourny, or Northern Championships in Sudbury. If I
had more time I would possibly run a North Shore Woman?s Fastball
League.  Need help on that one!

The tournament got off to a great start last night, with ASB-Villard
defeating Wilber Lime with a two out single in the bottom of
the 7th to plate the winning run.  Farm Tavern, always a favorite
of the fans here in Eau Claire did not disappoint with their
opening game as they defeated The Bar - Green Bay by a score
of 9-1.

night in the Chippewa Valley for fastpitch softball!   Rain came
in over night and lingered into the morning, but the fields were
superb by the start of the first game at 10:00am.  With the rain
over and clouds lifting, the crowds are starting to build again
for what promises to be some great games later this evening.

                         Concerning the 4th Annual Northern Ontario
Open Fastball Championships for Ladies and Men coming up very
soon in August , its already up on Softball Ontario's web site
as well as on Al's Fastball with some minor changes and important
dates.we have not all the final commitments yet but it looks
like we could be looking at 12 to 14 men's teams (strong commitments
already from Ottawa Blitz and Val Gagne Hawks just 40 miles North
of Timmins for Men and good possibilities of Thunderbay, Manitoulin
Island[2] and Brampton for Ladies. I'm hoping to gather other
hopefuls this weekend when I travel to Hunstville .

                                            ATHLETICS IN A WINNING
MOOD
 
                                                            
   The onfield problems of the Pickerel River Cardinals  continued
in the Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball League last evening .
For the second straight time in as many days the Athletics defeated
the Cardinals and this time in a more convincing fashion by the
score of 8 to 3 . The Athletics are fast climbing the league
standings and one more win could volt them into third place ahead
of the Hounds and the North Stars . This was by far veteran Pat
Sr Brennan's best outing of the season as he grabbed his second
mound victory both against the slumping first place Cardinals
. Pickerel did not help their cause with six costly fielding
errors and poor hitting which has plagued them for the last three
games . Jonathan Contin with the help of reliever Alex Ashawasagai
was tagged with his third loss of the season .Both Jonathan and
Alex combin to give up 13 hits , issued six base on balls and
struck out 5 batters . On the other hand Pat gave up but four
hits , issued one single walk and fanned seven batters. New rookie
Eric Legendre had a fine evening for himself as he went 3 for
4 at the dish including a double , two runs batted in , two runs
scored and one stolen base . Teamate J.P. Miron chipped in with
a 2 for 4 at bat (double) while Jeff Ashawasagai hit 1 for 2
in a losing cause for the Cardinals.
                                                            
      Play resumes Thursday night at the Lorne Brady Memorial
Park in Garson when the 2-6-1 Athletics will attempt to escape
the league cellar when they confront the 3-4-0 Dog House Sportsbar
for the first time this season at 7 PM . In the nightcap scheduled
for 9 PM under the lights  it will be a battle of the titans
when the league co-leaders at 6-3-0 tangle . It will be the slumping
Pickerel River Cardinals taking on the surging Parry Island Hawks
..
                                                            
       Three league teams : the Parry Island Hawks , the Pickerel
River Cardinals and the J.C. North Stars will be taking part
in the 24 team annual Hunstville Men's Fastball tournament this
coming weekend. Some 51 games will be played starting Friday
evening till the three division championships of Sunday afternoon
at 3 PM .. As always , it promises to be an excellent tournament
with teams from all over .. Parry Island has its first action
Friday night at 7 PM while the North Stars and the Cardinals
don't see their first game of round robin play till Saturday
morning.I'll be travelling to Hunstville early Saturday morning
to cover the tournament and should have results from all three
of our teams as well as other tournament results and details.
                                                            
         For the Northern Ontario Championships up coming in
late August there are a couple of changes to note:
 
   New title for the tournament  :
 
                                  NORTHERN ONTARIO OPEN FASTBALL
CHAMPIONCHIPS FOR LADIES AND MEN
 
   When? :  August 21st to 23rd in Azilda at the Rick McDonald
Memorial Park

  Important dates : 
                                  The deadline for entry is August
the 14th   (money and team roster
                                   A non refundable amount of
 $100 must be in no later than August the 5th
 
   Entry fee is always as usual  $380
 
   Format depending on the final number of teams will be either:
 
                               A]  Pools  round robin play with
two semi finals and a championship final    or
                               B]  Bracket style double knockout
 championship (still 3 games guarenteed for both situatuons)
 
   Strong outside interest at the moment which should make this
4th annual tournament the largest ever
                   We have good interest from Val Gagne Hawks
men's team some 40 miles north of Timmins , Ottawa Blitz from
Ottawa Men's Fastball League , 2 to 3 teams from Manitoulin Men's
Fastball league , 2 to 3 teams from NortnShore League , interest
from North Bay Senior Men's League, all of our 5 league teams
; in ladies we've got strong interest from the formation of two
Sudbury teams with a good possibility of the formation a minor
midget select team , the Mudheads from Thunderbay , the Stallions
from Brantford , two Manitoulin teams and one North Bay entry
. I'll be working on getting other teams while I'm in Huntsville
this weekend. We could be looking at between 12 to 14 men's teams
and 5 to 6 ladies' teams which would be our best tournament ever-
that would be fantastic!
                     Look for our league The Rick McDonald Memorial
Fastball League official web site by the end of next week or
early the following week .Things are looking up and good for
fastball in Greater Sudbury and Northern Ontario.
 
                                  Have a nice week! See you on
the ball fields!

                                                   THE HAWKS
TAKE SOLE POSESSION OF FIRST PLACE
 
                                                            
       Play continued in the Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball
League on Thursday night in Garson at the Lorne Brady Memorial
Park. The hot Sudbury Athletics extended their unbeaten streak
to four games with a third straight win this time over the slumping
and defending league champs the Dog House North Stars  12 to
5 . The North Stars now drop to last place in the league standings.
The game was called in the sixth inning because of the 7 run
mercy rule . Pat Sr Brennan  collected his third straight victory
 but  made way to reliever John Ainsley in the fourth .Both John
and Pat combine to give up 7 hits ,issue one single base on balls
and fanned 9 batters . Troy Nootchtai went the distance for the
North Stars and was tagged with his fourth loss of the present
campaign. Troy gave up 12 hits ,issued 4 walks and struck out
6 batters.Ed Brennan of the Athletics led all batters going 3
for 4 including two doubles with teammate Eric Ace hitting  2
for 4 including a solo shot to right field while Mike Cain  hit
a perfect 3 for 3(triple) in a losing cause for the North Stars.
                                                            
          In the nightcap , as expected , the fans got their
money's worth as you would say with the top two teams tied for
first place , Parry Island Hawks and Pickerel River Cardinals
facing each other for the second time this season. The early
goings had the Cardinals back in the groove as they took a 5
to 1 lead going into the fourth frame . The chances turned around
as the never say die Hawks came back to score five runs in the
next three innings including a two run inside the park homer
by  relief pitcher of Percy Tobobundung and led 6-5 going to
the seventh and final inning.Dramatics were not yet over as the
Cardinals scored  two runs of their own in top half of their
seventh on doubles by Jonathan Contin and Earl Contin to regain
the lead at 7-6. In the bottom of the seventh , the first batter
for the Hawks struck out but the next two reach base on a single
and a base on balls . Old reliable Jason Green came to bat and
on the second pitch slammed a decisive double to centre field
scoring both runs and giving the Parry Island boys their 7th
victory of the season and sole posession of first place in the
league standings to start the second half of the season. Matt
Tobobundung started for the winners but gave way to veteran reliever
Percy Tobbobundung who got the victory .Both Percy and Matt combined
to give up 11 hits , issue but two base on balls and fan 9 batters.
Jonathan Contin went the distance for the Cardinals and was tagged
with his fourth loss (third in a row) .Jonathan gave up 13 hits
,issued 4 base on balls and struck out 8 batters . Matt Tobobundung
(two doubles) and Jason Green (one double) led the way for the
Hawks going 3 for 4 while Ed "Shaq" Jr Panamick went a perfect
3 for 3 including a solo home run in a losing cause for the Cardinals.
                                                            
              Three of the league teams (J.C./Dog House North
Stars , Parry Island Hawks and Pickerel River Cardinals) are
off to the 24 team Hunstville Men's Fastball Tournament this
coming weekend . League play will resume Monday July the 13th
at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park in Azilda when the Pickerel
River Cardinals take on the Garson Hounds at 7 PM followed by
the nightcap under the lights at 9PM when the two hottest teams
in league Sudbury Athletics ( 3-0-1 in the last four outings)
tangle with the first place Parry Island Hawks ( top of the standings
with a 7-3-0 record).I'll have full results of this weekend's
tournament in Hunstville come Sunday evening.
 
         Have a nice weekend! Check out the ballfields in your
community and come watch some fine fastball be it at the minor
, junior or senior level in both ladies and men. Don't forget
Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball League fans that our brand new

>
> 
>
>(Prince Albert, SK) - After enduring more than a day of cold,
wet weather,
>the skies cleared and softball fans in Prince Albert were treated
to a
>doubleheader of top level international men?s fastball as Team
Canada took
>on their Japanese counterparts.
>
> 
>
>A good sized enthusiastic crowd came out to Prime Minister?s
Park to see the
>same teams that battled in the championship game of the Three
Nations
>Challenge that was held last year in Saskatoon .
>
> 
>
>A nice wrinkle was added to the opening ceremonies when five
Japanese
>exchange students sung their National anthem prior to the game.
They would
>later take turns announcing the Japanese batters. Not to be
outdone, a
>lovely a cappella version of O Canada was performed by a young
lady named
>Cyndal Halcro.
>
> 
>
>Game 1 - Canada 7, Japan 0
>
> 
>
>Canada put up a quick three spot in the second inning and never
looked back
>in the opener. Colin Abbott (Portugal Cove, NL) led off by grounding
a
>single to right field. He was immediately followed by Ian Fehrman
(Townsend,
>ON) who did the same thing. Two batters later, Derek Mayson
(North
>Vancouver, BC) turned an 0-2 count into an eight pitch at bat.
On that
>eighth pitch he deposited a three run home run into the parking
lot on a
>hill well beyond the right field fence.
>
> 
>
>A similar situation would arise in Canada?s half of the third
inning when
>Steve Mullaley (Freshwater, NL) turned around another 0-2 count,
lining the
>ninth pitch of the at bat off the fence in left centre for a
two-run double,
>plating Abbott and Fehrman.
>
> 
>
>The scoring was capped by an opposite field home run off the
bat of left
>fielder Jeff Ellsworth (St. Lawrence, PEI)
>
> 
>
>Fehrman, Mayson and Ellsworth would all finish the game two-for-two
while
>Keith Mackintosh (Melfort, SK) would add a single.
>
> 
>
>The game was called after Japan?s half of the fifth inning due
to the run
>rule.
>
> 
>
>Trevor Ethier (Saskatoon, SK) went the distance for the victory,
allowing
>only a fourth inning double to Hiroshi Ishimura, striking out
six along the
>way. Kazutaka Murasato took the loss for Japan.
>
> 
>
>Game 2 - Canada 2, Japan 0
>
> 
>
>The second game was a much closer contest that featured solid
defence and
>pitching by both squads.
>
> 
>
>All of the scoring came in the top of the first inning. Centerfielder
Ryan
>Wolfe (Melbourne, ON) led off by grounding a single between
third base and
>shortstop. After retiring the next two Canadian hitters, Japanese
starter
>Kunihiko Iida caught a little bit too much of the plate on an
0-1 pitch to
>Colin Abbott and Abbott launched it out of the yard in right
field.
>
> 
>
>Nick Underhill (Campbell River, BC) hurled the first four innings
for Canada
>in picking up the win. He gave up two singles, walked two and
struck out one
>in the process. Dean Holoien (Melfort, SK) picked up the save
by holding off
>Team Japan over the final three innings. The only blemish on
his record was
>a sixth inning walk. He struck out four along the way.

>
>Japan used four pitchers in the game with starter Kunihiko Iida
giving up
>both runs over 2 2/3 innings to take the loss.

DOG HOUSE SPORTSBAR NORTH STARS BACK IN THE HUNT
 
 
                             There was a doubleheader played
at Rick McDonald Memorial Park's Azilda # 3 field on Monday night
.Two teams who've been struggling of late came up with key victories
which now changes the whole race in league standings.
                              In the opener , behind the excellent
one hit pitching of veteran Jordy "Swede" Dahlvick (3-0) , the
North Stars(5-5-0) shut out the fifth place Athletics(3-8-1)
7-0  . Jordy was masterful in his four innings of work with only
two Athletics reaching base on single hit and a base on balls.
He now reduces his league leading ERA to 2,11 .Randy Dennis (0-0)
now back from Southern Ontario(in his first outing for 2009)
pitched the last inning. The game` was called after five innings
due to the 7 run mercy rule. John Ainsly (0-2 )went the distance
and was tagged with his second loss of the season on 8 hits ,
3 issued walks and 2 strike outs. Mike Cain of the North Stars
hit 1 for 2 with his 3rd league leading triple.
                               In the nightcap , the Garson Hounds(4-5-2)
wheeling from a five game slump defeated the first place Parry
Island Hawks(9-4) 7 to 2 and in the process broke the Hawks five
game winning streak. Gary"Guinou" Lamothe(4-5) went the distance
for his 4th victory of the season on 7 hits and 8 strike outs
. Matt Tobobundung (3-2) also went the distance and was tagged
with his`second loss of the 2009 campaign on 11 hits ,3 base
on balls and 12 strike outs.Jon Treen of the Hounds was the top
hitter going 3 for 4 (2 doubles) with teammates Chuck Jacobs
 2 for 3 and Brian Welsch 2 for 2 also hitting well. Jim Pawis
(triple) and Al Guenette both hit 2 for 3 in losing cause for
the Hawks.
                                League play resumes on Thursday
night at the Lorne Brady Memorial Park in Garson .. In the first
of a doubleheader the Dog House North Stars will take on the
Garson Hounds at 7 PM followed by the nightcap at  PM when  the
Pickerel River Cardinals tangle with Parry Island Hawks .

OSHAWA, Ont. - Durham College women?s fastball head coach JimNemish
is pleased to announce the addition of Kayla MacLean of Whitby,
Ont. tothe team for the 2009 Ontario Colleges Athletic Association

MacLean, a pitcher and infielder, spent last season playing with
the Miami-DadeCollege Sharks in Florida. On the mound, MacLean
throws a variety of pitchesand has had her fastball clocked at
61 mph. At the plate, she can hit for powerand average as her
.402 batting average and .407 on-base percentage can attest.In
addition to her season at Miami-Dade she has played in many largeinternational
tournaments in the United States and Canada with her club teamover
the past few seasons.

?We are really excited about Kayla choosing to come to DurhamCollege,?
said Nemish. ?Along with her skills on the field Kaylahas a real
passion for the game and with her experience and skill level
shewill help take our program to another level. I feel with the
addition of Kaylaand with all of our returning players, this
should be an exciting team to watchthis year.?

The Durham fastball program and MacLean intersected for the first
time manyyears ago. As a youngster MacLean acted as the Durham
Lords bat girl, and nowshe has decided to return to the school
to wrap up her collegiate career.

The addition of MacLean solidifies an already strong recruiting
class whichalready features the program?s second ever out of
province recruit inJana Hagan (Sherwood Park, Alta.) as well
as teammates from Scarborough TianaCosentino and Shannon Stevenson.
The incoming recruiting class combined with astrong veteran core
will leave the Lords in excellent position to capture their15th

Monday night at Alexian Field in Schaumburg, Il.. the Schaumburg
Flyers http://www.flyersbaseball.com/ professional baseball team
will play a fastpitch game against the Chicago Bandits and Jennie
Finch. 

The game is at seven o'clock. The Flyers are an independent team
that has AAA and AA talent according to their website. 

The Flyers were looking for a pitcher and Dave Perkins and myself
-more Dave than me- put together three pitchers to throw against
the Bandits. Brian Tobin who pitches for the Hogs, Andy Blackshaw
who pitches for the Bar of Appleton and Jason Iuli who pitches
for the All American Sports Bar in West St. Paul, MN.. The idea
is to get the teams to see three different level pitchers. 

All three will share innings against the WPFL 2008 World Champions.


The three will be interviewed on WGN Monday morning at 6am. Please
watch and come out to the game. I have been told that they are
almost sold out so get your tickets asap. 

Tickets:(847) 891-2255

SERGEANT RICK McDONALD

            Today Tuesday July the 28th is a very somber day
for several of my fastball player friends ,fans of fastball and
the family of Rick McDonald .Its on this very day that Rick was
killed in the line of duty .
             Sargeant Rick McDonald was a twelve year veteran
of the Greater  Sudbury  Police Force . Rick also played fastball
and in his honor the league took his name .Every June the league
holds a Rick McDonald Memorial Fastball Tournament as well as
a Slo-Pitch tournament .A good part of the money gained here
goes to help charitable causes such as buying bicycles for under
privilege kids , send children with afflicted serious illnesses
and their families to trips at Disneyworld as well as beautify
the park named after him in Azilda . Our good friend who left
us much to early is survived by his wife Corinne Fewster also
a police officer.
             On Thursday night July the 30th , at the Lorne Brady
Memorial Park in Garson, just prior to the opening game between
the Dog House Sportsbar North Stars and the Sudbury Athletics
, we  will honor the memory of Sergeant Rick McDonald . We hope
that many fans , former players  and  friends  will be out for
the special ceremony planned for that evening..

                    Yours in fastball,

the 4th , the Manitoulin Men's Fastball League playoffs got underway
on two fronts . In series "B" the AOK Sucker Creek Raiders took
the first game of their semi final series best of five affaire
by the score of 6 to 3  over the Gore Bay Merchant. Aaron "Sixer"

ten batters while Glenn Duncanson was tagged with the loss and
fanned five batters. Top hitter was Brenden Abotossaway of the
Raiders going a perfect 4 for 4 .There were no home runs in the

Possibilities :
1.	The Athletics cannot finish better than fifth and therefore
will face the 2nd place finishers in their opening round best
of 3 quarter final series ?A? , Monday August 17th at 7 PM in
Azilda at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park
2.	The Hawks need a tie or a victory in their final 4 point game
against the Cardinals on Monday August the 10th in Azilda to
clinch first place , the Commissioner?s Cup and a bye to the
second round semi finals.
3.	 i) Should the Hounds win their remaining two games (one a
four point game) , they could finish with 20 points and second
place.
ii) Should the Cardinals win their two remaining games (one a
four point game against the Hawks) , they could potentially finish
with 19 points at best and possibly second ,third or fourth position.
iii) Should the North Stars win their remaining three games (one
a four point game against the Hounds ) they could potentially
finish with 20 points and also second place or third or fourth
.
The remaining games become very important since the highest seeded
loser in quarter final action gets a second life (page system)
and would play the fisrt place finisher in a second round semi
final match up.At the moment , should the Hawks lose their final
four point game against the Cardinals on August the 10th and
the North Stars win their remaining three games (one a four point
affair) , there would be a tie for first place and therefore
the North Stars would retain first place and the Commissioner?s
Cup pon a tie breaker (the North Stars head to head defeated
the Hawks three times out of four)
There are other remaining battles to be decided:
A]  The pitching crown : presently Jordy ?Swede? Dahlvick  of
the North Stars leads the parade with a 4-0 record and an ERA
of  2,00 ; he is followed by Al Guenette of the Hawks with a
record of 3-1 and a league leading ERA of  1,47 . Should Jordy
not suffer any defeats in any remaining stars (the North Stars
have three games to go) , he?ll become this year?s top pitcher
for 2009.
B]  At the moment , catcher Curtis Hambly of the Cardinals leads
all hitters with an average of  636 (21 for 33) which puts him
63 percentage points ahead of Jim Pawis of the Hawks at   575
(23 for 40). The next closest is Robbie Edwards at 516 ( 16 for
31) and he will finish with that being away for the next 14 days
. So it?s a fight between Jim and Curtis .
C] Todd Parsons of the Hounds leads the way with 5 home runs
.Three other players are right behind him with four each.
D] Two are tied at 6  in doubles
E]  Mike Cain of the North Stars leads in triples with 3
F]  Jason Green of the Hawks leads in RBI?S with 19
G] Cuirtis Hambly of the Cardinals leads in On base % with  786
H] Robbie Edwards leads with 1 033 Slugging %

   The final five rainouts (two four point games) should make
the end of the season very interesting. Many things up for grabs.

Hi Al, It seems Vancouver cannot use me as an out of area pitcher,
as they already have two, which makes me available as an out
of area pick up, I am in area for Wisconsin though.

If anyone wants to get in touch with me they can get me by e-mail
or 309-287-6400.

                                                        DOG HOUSE
SPORTSBAR NORTH STARS WIN IMPORTANT GAME
 
 
                                                            
  The rain out schedule continued Monday night in Azilda at the
Rick McDonald Memorial Park . In the opener at 7 PM  , the Dog
House North Stars scored early and went on nto easily defeat
the last [lace Athletics 11 to 0 . Jordy "Swede" Dalhvick (5-0)
went the distance in recording his fifth mound victory , giving
up but one hit in the second frame , did not issue any base on
balls and struck out nine batters. Steve Sabourin led the way
for the North Stars with a 3 for 4 performance at bat including
a three run homer in the first inning with teammate Junior Ilnitski
hitting 2 for 4 while Eric Legendre was the only hitter for the
Athletics at 1 for 2 . John Ainsley (0-5) went the distance in
suffering his fifth set back on  10 hits ,issuing 5 base on balls
and striking out six batters.
                                                            
   In the nightcap under the lights , Parry Island Hawks were
hard pressed to win a 5-4 victory over the Pickerel River Cardinals
after leading 5-1 in the late innings. Prior to the start of
the game the Haswks were presented with the Commissioner's Cup
emblamatic of their first place finish and a bye to the second
round semi finals (photo of the team will be in tomorow for the
medias).Al Guenette (4-1) started and was relieved in the 7th
frame by Percy Tobobundung(3-0) . Both pitchers combined to give
up 6 hits , issue no base on balls and strike out  9 batters.
Jonathan Contin (7-6) started and was relieved by Alex Ashawasagai
(0-0) in the 5th inning. Boty combine to give up 7 hits ,issue
3 base on balls and strike out 7 batters. frank Pegahamagabow
led the way for the Hawks with a 2 for 3 performance with Matt
Tobobundung hitting his 5th round tripper of the season and now
trailing Todd Parsons of the Hounds by only one with onev regular
season game to go.Elwood "Squid" Ashawasagai hit 2 for 2 in a
losing cause for the Cardinals .
                                                            
     League play will resume Thursday night in Garson at the
Lorne Brady Memorial Park with the last two rain out scheduled
games of the rergular season . Both games haved have several
important team and individual implications. Should the Hounds
win the first game (a four point game) at 7 PM , thet would clinch
second place . Should the North Stars win the 7 PM game , they
would clinch second place . The Cardinals would need a victory
at 9 PM against the Hawks to assure themselves of no worst than
third position in the final standings.The second set of implications
involves individual stats that will be rewarded at the year end
banquet . For the pitchers its a batttle between the 5-0 Jordy
Dalhvick of the North Stars` and  the 4 and 1 Al Guenette of
the Hawks. Should scheduled starter Percy Tobobundung (3-0) of
the Hawks win on Thursday night he'd finish at 4-0 . A win by
Dahlvick in the 7 PM game will clinch the pitching crown for
him.In the batting situation , Curtis Hambly is now hitting 585
after going 0 for 3 on Monday night and is closely followed by
Jim Pawis of the Hawks with 575 .. Boty players have onre game
left and they are playing that game against each other to decide
the batting crown . Finally  , Todd Parsons  of the Garson Hounds
leads the home run race with 6 but is closely followed by Matt
Tobobundung of the Hawks with 5 and then comes Robbie Edwards
(Hounds), Eddy Roy (Hounds) , Eric Ace (Athletics) and Curtis
Hambly(Cardinals) all with four . Thursday night in Garson should
be an exciting time for the teams and the players.
                                                            
         This is the tentative playoff  first round quarter final
schedule for the first week . On Monday night August the 17th
, the second season gets underway with quarter finals 2 out of
3 . At 7 PM at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park   the 5th plac`e
ASthletics will take on the 2nd place finishers in series "A"
.That will be followed by 3rd pace vs the 4th place in Series
"B" .. The second game in both series goes Thursday night in
Garson and in reverse order game 2 of series "B" at 7 PM and
game 2 of series "A" at 9 PM .. Should a third and deciding game
be needed in either series or both it/they would be played  on

By Christine Rivet, Record staff



The drug police are coming to this week?sCanadian senior women?s
softball championship in Kitchener.

And while the sport boasts a squeaky-clean trackrecord when it
comes to performance- enhancing substances, the game of softballcan
ill-afford a failed drug test.

Dropped from the Olympic docket following Beijing, as wasmen?s
baseball, women?s softball has organized a campaign to bereinstated
in time for the 2016 Games.

?That?s one of the reasons why baseballand softball separated
in their Olympic bid ? because we had such apositive record in
drug testing,? said Mike Branchauda manager for Softball Canada.

?We are happy to oblige (the drugtesters).?

The recent notification by the Canadian Centre forEthics in Sport
that random drug testing will be conducted in Kitchener sent
tournament officialsscrambling though.

The tournament host committee had to set up animpromptu doping
control station and needed to find security personnel andchaperones
for the tested athletes.

Four athletes will be tested following Sunday?sfinal for substances
on the World Anti-Doping Agency?s banned listincluding anabolic
steroids and narcotics.

The WADA list is 10 pages long, which could createsome confusion
for athletes unaccustomed to the rigoursof testing.

A tournament organizer, Pete McIlwraith, acknowledgedthis is
a pivotal year for the sport and a flunked drug test would only
provideanother unwelcome hurdle.

?I think Softball Canada is a little uptight aboutthis. It could
be embarrassing for them.?

Should an athlete test positive for a banned substancein Kitchenerthe
CCES would recommend a suspension, though that player?s team
wouldnot likely be sanctioned.

The CCES regularly conducts random testing onnational-calibre
athletes and at events throughoutthe country, so athletes here
shouldn?t have been caught by surprise,said Branchaud.

There?s no coincidence to the timing of thetests and the sport?s
Olympic future, said the CCES?sdirector of communications.

?It was just their turn,? said Rosemary Pitfield.

The nine-team tournament runs Wednesday through Sundayat Peter
Hallman Ball Yard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Al:

Hope all is going well at the ISC. Canada Games are off to a
good start with beautiful weather helping things out. I was hoping
to send something for the News-2 site today but I didn't get
my accreditation until after the first game today thus I don't
have official stats. I will send a summary of our first three
games tomorrow night (only have e-mail access at beginning &
end of day so far - I'm not staying in the village since I didn't
get the badge in time but I'm with my cousin who has a beautiful
place so it sure beats the barracks in that regard.)

FYI, we lost a heartbreaker 1-0 to Alberta. We outhit them but
didn't drive in runs when had the opportunity & they scored in
the 6th without the aid of a hit. We have Ontario & PEI tomorrow.
Ontario beat PEI 10-0 today & Sask & Quebec were tied 3-3 in
the 6th when we had to leave this evening. Crowds in Summerside
were good & quite enthusiastic.

Have fun in Quad Cities.

Barr

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 1 Results

 

Highlights of the Day 

 

British Columbia 8, Newfoundland and Labrador 0. In the first
of two games at Veterans Memorial Field in Alberton, British
Columbia cruised to an 8-0 win in four and a half innings behind
a combined no-hitter by pitchers Courtney Cronin (Delta, BC)
and Nicole Sidor (West Vancouver, BC), who combined for 12 strikeouts.
2007 Junior Women?s National Team player Corrine Doornberg (Langley,
BC) was three-for-three at the plate, while Lindsay McElroy (Tsawwassen,
BC) added a double and a single. BC scored single runs in the
first and second innings before pushing across four in the third.
They added two in the fourth to complete the 8-0 score.
 

Alberta 1, Nova Scotia 0. In a very exciting opening game at
VIV Field in Summerside, PEI, Alberta scored the winning run
in the bottom of the sixth to open the tournament with a victory.
Nova Scotia seemed in control for most of the game, producing
six hits off Alberta pitcher Camille Czarnecki (Edmonton, AB),
but strong defensive play kept them off the board. In the bottom
of the sixth, Kaitlyn Dougherty (Calgary, AB) walked, moved to
third on two passed balls and scored on a fielder?s choice with
a beautiful slide to avoid the tag from the catcher at home.
Czarnecki struck out eight batters to earn the win in the pitcher?s
circle.
 

Manitoba 5, New Brunswick 0. In the second game played at Veterans
Memorial Field in Alberton, Manitoba pitcher Sarah Shotton (Winnipeg,
MB) fired 16 strikeouts in a seven inning 5-0 shutout win over
New Brunswick. The Manitoba bats produced eight hits and took
advantage of four errors to score their runs, led by Macey Hickes
(Winnipeg, MB) who had a double and a single and scored two runs,
and Adrianna Boychuk (Portage la Prairie, MB) who also registered
a double and a single with one run scored.    
 

Ontario 10, Prince Edward Island 0. Ontario proved to be too
much for Prince Edward Island, as Ontario pitchers Lacey Dinney
(Binbrook, ON) and Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) combined for
a no-hitter, and Meagan Baird (Ajax, ON) broke the game open
with a base-clearing double to drive in three runs in the top
of the fifth. Ontario had gotten off to a great start, taking
advantage of two errors to score a pair of runs in the top of
the first, added another in the second and two in the fourth
before exploding with five in the fifth. Dinney struck out 11
batters in four innings of work, while Becker struck out all
three batters she faced. The game was called after five innings
due to the run rule.
 

Quebec 4, Saskatchewan 3 (8 innings). Quebec and Saskatchewan
battled into an extra inning in a great game between two very
evenly matched teams that featured fantastic defensive plays
on both sides, highlighted by several great plays by Quebec third
baseman Julie-Anne Knerr (Pierrefonds, QC). Pitchers Caroline
Champoux (Terrebonne, QC) from Quebec and Maria Buckingham (Shellbrook,
SK) from Saskatchewan battled back in forth in the pitcher?s
circle, each allowing three runs. Saskatchewan?s Alicia Eger
led all batters at the plate with three singles, while teammate
Desiree Ates (Regina SK) smashed a solo homerun in the bottom
of the fifth to tie the game at 3-3 to later force an extra inning.
In the top of the eighth, with Katheryne Robert-LeBlanc (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,
QC) starting on second base due to the international tie-breaker
rule, Quebec was able to sacrifice her to third and she later
scored on a groundout to the pitcher to take the 4-3 lead. With
a runner also starting on second base, Saskatchewan sacrificed
her to third, but she was thrown out at home on the very next
play on a great catch and throw by Knerr.

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 2 Results

 

Highlights of the Day 

 

New Brunswick  8, Newfoundland and Labrador 2. In the opening
game at VIV Field in Summerside, Newfoundland and Labrador jumped
up to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but New Brunswick scored
eight unanswered runs over the first three innings to take the
8-2 victory. Katie Carr (Rusagonis, NB) was the big hitter for
New Brunswick with three hits and two runs batted in, while Katrina
MacKinnon (French Village, NB) added two hits and an RBI. Leading
the way for Newfoundland and Labrador was Amber Kennedy, who
collected three of her team?s seven hits.  
 

British Columbia 11, Prince Edward Island 0. From Kensington,
Team BC picked up where they left off on Day 1 by defeating host
PEI handily 11-0 in five innings. Kylie Ellis (Aldergrove, BC)
tossed a one-hitter with nine strikeouts for BC, while Paige
Collings (Delta, BC) had a double and a single with three runs
batted in. Jackie Rothenberger (Coquitlam, BC) also drove in
three runs with a triple. Miriah McIsaac (Vernon River, PEI)
broke up the no-hitter with a single in the bottom of the fourth.

 

Saskatchewan 2, Alberta 0. Saskatchewan and Alberta clashed in
a very tight contest at VIV Field in Summerside, as pitchers
Maria Buckingham (Shellbrook, SK) from Saskatchewan and Emilee
Pittman (Calgary, AB) held the opposing hitters off-stride all
game long. Ultimately, Buckingham came out on the winning end
throwing a no-hitter through six innings of work with 10 strikeouts,
while Alicia Eger (Regina, SK) registered the save without allowing
a hit in the seventh. Pittman was just as dominant in the pitcher?s
circle allowing only three hits, but two of them came in the
bottom of the fourth inning when Saskatchewan scored both of
its runs. Pinch hitter Erin Dyok (Quill Lake, SK) was the hero
for Saskatchewan, driving in both runs with a single up the middle.
    
 

Ontario 10, Nova Scotia 0. Ontario also kept rolling at the tournament
with a big win in Kensington over Nova Scotia, as pitcher Tina
Andreanna (Oakville, ON) fired a one-hitter with 12 strikeouts.
Ontario sent 14 batters to the play in the top of the first to
score nine runs. Jillian Russell (Bryon, ON) was the most productive
Ontario hitter with a single and a double and three runs batted
in, while Ontario also took advantage of five errors and stole
three bases on their way to the win. Andreanna?s no-hit bid was
spoiled by Laura MacKay, who singled to lead off the bottom of
the second inning. 
 

Quebec 1, Manitoba 2. In a battle between two teams who posted
victories on Day 1, Quebec and Manitoba battled in yet another
exciting game as pitchers Caroline Champoux (Terrebonne, QC)
from Quebec and Amanda Greenberg (Winnipeg, MB) held the runs
to a minimum. Coming off a complete-game eight inning win last
night against Saskatchewan, Champoux pitched her second complete
game in taking the loss, allowing two runs in the first before
holding Manitoba the rest of the game. On her part, Greenberg
took a one-hitter into the sixth before Quebec was able to cut
into the lead with a run. After taking Greenberg out, Manitoba
survived a scare in the bottom of the seventh as Brigitte Aizprua
(Terrebonne, QC) hammered a pitch that had the distance for a
game-winning homerun, but was hit just foul.
 

Alberta 8, Newfoundland and Labrador 1. Alberta jumped out to
an early 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first and added two more
in the second before finishing the game off with a run in the
fifth to put the run rule into effect. Kiera Lyons (Ryley, AB)
drove in two runs with a double for Alberta, while Kaitlyn Dougherty
(Calgary, AB) added a pair of singles and two RBIs as well. Camille
Czarnecki (Edmonton, AB) was the winning pitcher as she pitched
the four last innings, allowing only one run on one hit with
five strikeouts.  
 

Nova Scotia 4, Prince Edward Island 3. In a great ball game in
Alberton, the lead changed a few times and Nova Scotia held on
for a narrow 4-3 win. Nova Scotia opened the scoring in the first
by taking advantage of two errors to score the first run. PEI
wasted no time in responding, as Heidi MacRae (Tignish, PEI)
led off with a single, followed by an error to allow Jonel Richard
to reach base, and both runners scored on a single by Kayla Hackett
(Tignish, PEI). The score remained 2-1 until Nova Scotia came
back with three runs in the fifth, highlighted by a two-run double
by Lisa White (Eureka, NS), who later scored on a groundout as
well. PEI chipped away with a run in the sixth, but was unable
to complete the comeback.
 

Ontario 6, Quebec 1 In a key match-up, Ontario scored four runs
in the bottom of the first and never looked back, as Natalie
Becker (Waterloo, ON) allowed only one run on two hits in the
complete game win. Jillian Russell (Bryon, ON) was only a triple
away from the cycle, as she hit a homerun, a double and a single,
while Rebecca Stanley (Waterloo, ON) also notched three hits
including a double, two singles and a run batted in. The win
improved Ontario?s record to 3-0, while Quebec dropped to 1-2.
 
 

Manitoba 6, Saskatchewan 1. Manitoba also improved its record
to 3-0 by scoring all six runs in the bottom of the fourth to
beat their rivals from Saskatchewan. Five different players registered
two or more hits for Manitoba, led by Kyla Thiesen (Hardisty,
AB) with three singles and a run batted in and Brittney Robertson
who produced two runs on a double and a single. In the pitcher?s
circle, Sarah Shotton (Winnipeg, MB) allowed one run and scattered
four hits with 12 strikeouts to shut down the Saskatchewan bats.

 

British Columbia 7, New Brunswick 0. Despite the score, New Brunswick
put up quite a fight with the powerhouse team from BC, as Samantha
DeBortoli (Saint John, NB) held the BC bats in check by only
allowing one run over the opening three innings. However, the
BC bats woke up by scoring two runs in the bottom of the fourth
and four more in the fifth for the run rule win in five innings.
Nicole Sidor (West Vancouver, BC), Corrine Doornberg (Langley,
BC) and Senior Women?s National Team player Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby,
BC) each collected a pair of hits for BC. Marina Demore (Vancouver,
BC) pitched a no-hitter through five innings, striking out 11
batters in the process. BC improved to 3-0 with the win to move
into a three-way tie with Ontario and Manitoba.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Nova Scotia finds itself with a record of 1-2 after the
first two days of the 2009 Canada Games currently being held
in Prince Edward Island.

Sunday???s opener in Summerside versus Alberta was a thriller
for the fans with Alberta coming out on the top end of a 1-0
game despite being out hit 6-2. NS was unable to take advantage
of placing runner in scoring position as Alberta pitcher Camille
Czarnecki was able to get the key outs when she needed them.
Starter Lisa Green was outstanding on the mound for NS, allowing
just two singles over 5 innings. The Albertans scored the lone
run in the bottom of the 6th inning off reliever Holly Denny.
Kaitlyn Dougherty was able to score following a lead off walk
& two passed balls, scoring on a ground out.

Lyndsay Oakes and Lyndsey LeBlanc each had two hits for NS while
Chelsea Walley had both Alberta hits.

Monday???s action saw the blue and white dig a deep hole in Kensington
against a powerful squad from Ontario, committing 5 errors in
the game and giving up nine runs in the opening inning en route
to a 10-0 5 inning defeat. Second baseman Jill Russell led a
balanced Ontario attack with a double, single and 3 RBIs. Laura
MacIntosh also had two hits.

Laura MacKay had the lone hit off Ontario pitcher Tina Andrenea
who struck out 12 and walked 2 in gaining the victory. One bright
spot for Nova Scotia was the effort from Katelyn Munro in relief
of starter Meghan Brown. Munro allowed only 1 run in her 4 innings
of work.

Team NS finished the day with a tough 4-3 victory over a scrappy
Jeff Ellsworth coached PEI squad in a contest that was played
in Alberton. PEI took a 2-1 lead into the 5th when Nova Scotia
scored 3 runs, highlighted by a Lisa White double that scored
Lyndsay Oakes and Lyndsey LeBlanc. Alicia MacKinnon would pinch
run for White and later score on a passed ball for the 4th run.
Holly Denny picked up the win in relief of Laura MacKay with
Lisa Green pitching a perfect 7th for the save. White led NS
with a single in addition to the RBI double while Lyndsey LeBlanc
and Ashley Taweel chipped in with singles. Heidi McRae, Janel
Richard, Kayla Hackett and Ashley Praught had the hits for PEI.

Tuesday???s schedule sees NS face New Brunswick at Noon and BC
at 8 PM. Both contests are in Summerside.

Vancouver, BC) fired a complete game no-hitter to shut down Alberta,

(Coquitlam, BC) added an RBI single in the fifth and Andrea Stevenson
completed the scoring by driving in the fifth run on a ground
out.
 

Ontario 16, Newfoundland and Labrador 1. Ontario continued to
flex its muscle as they scored 12 runs in the bottom of the first
inning on route to a 16-1 win over Newfoundland and Labrador.
Highlights of the big inning include a two-run double by Laura
McIntosh (Waterloo, ON) and a two-run single by Jillian Russell
(Bryon, ON). Ontario added single runs in each of the second
and third innings, and ended the game on the run rule with a
two-run double by Suzanne Miller (Ajax, ON) in the bottom of
the fourth. Lacey Dinney (Binbrook, ON) earned the pitching win
for Ontario, allowing only one run and one hit, both on a triple
by Laura Prosper (Little Rapids, NL). Dinney struck out nine

Quebec 10, Prince Edward Island 0. Quebec won its second game
of the day to take possession of the fourth and final playoff
spot by defeating PEI 10-0. Quebec pitchers Patricia Seguin (Rigaud,
QC) and Rochelle Flanagan (Beaconsfield, QC) combined for a no-hitter

the board by scoring four runs with two outs in the second inning,
as Anne Martel-Prevost (Blainville, QC), Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne,
QC) and Seguin hit three consecutive RBI singles. Quebec rallied
for two more runs with two outs in the fourth, with both runs
scoring on a single by Julie-Anne Knerr (Pierrefonds, QC) to
take a 6-0 lead. The very next inning, Trisha Bouchard (Kirkland,
QC) launched a two-run homerun to put the run rule into effect,
with Quebec going on to win in five innings.
 

Saskatchewan 4, New Brunswick 0. New Brunswick turned another
great effort, but unfortunately came out on the losing end once
again, as Saskatchewan pitcher Ashton Hughes threw a complete
game one-hitter, garnering 14 strikeouts in the process. Saskatchewan
scored two runs in the top of the first inning to get things
started, as they took advantage of an error. Later, Desiree Ates
(Regina, SK) added a solo homerun in the fourth, and Kara Gimas
(Regina, SK) hit a sacrifice fly to score the fourth run of the
game. With the win, Saskatchewan got right back in the playoff
hunt with a 2-3 record.
 

Manitoba 2, Alberta 0. In Kensington, Manitoba kept pace with
Ontario and British Columbia by shutting out Alberta 2-0 behind
a masterful pitching performance by Amanda Greenberg (Winnipeg,
MB), who threw a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts. She had a perfect
game going into the top of the seventh, but walked the leadoff
batter, but then retired the next three batters to finish the
game. Jen Dixon (Brandon, MB) drove in a run with a single in
the first, while Krista Bomak (MacGregor, MB) added an RBI single
of her own in the third to lead Manitoba to the win.

first. Haberl was not done there, as she also hit a solo homerun
in the top of the fourth, and added an RBI double in the sixth.

had an outstanding game, cracking three double and scoring three
runs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday saw Nova Scotia split a pair of games in Summerside,
defeating New Brunswick 4-2 in the afternoon contest while losing
10-0 to British Columbia in the late game.

Lyndsey LeBlanc???s clutch 2 RBI single in the 5th inning broke
open a 1-0 game. NS would plate 3 in the inning to go ahead 4-0
but New Brunswick chipped away with 1 run in each of the 6th
and would bring the tying run to the plate in the 7th before
Holly Denny shut the door in relief of Meghan Brown. Brown was
strong in her 6 innings of work, giving up just 3 hits and 1
run while striking out 6. Laura MacKay and Lyndsay Oakes both
had two hits for Team NS.

Erin Freeze had a single and a double to lead the NB attack.
Alecia O???Brien threw a complete game in taking the loss, allowing
8 hits and striking out 7.

Nova Scotia knew in advance that the BC match up would be a tough
one. Many people are picking the squad from the west coast as
one of the favourites to take home the gold medal. Unlike Monday???s
game against Ontario, NS held tough for 6 innings but in the
end the strong BC batting lineup and the pitching of Courtenay
Cronin were just too much to handle. 

First baseman Kelsey Haberl and catcher Charlotte Dolan showed
why they had been chosen to play with the Women???s National
Team this summer. Haberl launched two home runs and narrowly
missed a third one when she doubled off the top of the left field
fence while Dolan finished with two doubles.. Paige Collings
also had a double and two singles in three trips to the plate.
Many Nova Scotians remember Cronin from the 2008 Midget Nationals
where she led the Surrey Storm to the gold. She finished the
contest with 16 strikeouts over 6 innings, allowing just one
hit, a first inning single by Lyndsey LeBlanc.

Team Nova Scotia's record moves to 2-3 and will take on Quebec
Wednesday morning at 10 AM at the Evangeline Field in Abram Village
and move to O???Leary for a 4 PM start vs Saskatchewan.

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 4 Results

 

Highlights of the Day

 

Quebec 7, Nova Scotia 1. In the first game at l??cole ?vang?line
in Abram-Village, Quebec jumped to an early lead and kept adding
to it as they defeated Nova Scotia to put themselves in good
playoff position with a 4-2 record. Three consecutive hits each
drove in a run for Quebec in the top of the first, including
a double by Marilyne Cloutier (Laval, QC), a single by Kristen
McKenzie (Senneville, QC) and a triple by Trisha Bouchard (Kirkland,
QC). After Nova Scotia scored a run in the third to cut the lead
to 4-1, Quebec added single runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh
innings to ensure the win. Bouchard led Quebec at the plate with
a triple and two singles, while Laura MacKay (Stellarton, NS)
had three singles for Nova Scotia. Caroline Champoux (Terrebonne,
QC) scattered eight hits to earn the win in the pitchers circle,
retiring 10 batters on strikes.
 

Ontario 1, Manitoba 0. Two of the three undefeated teams squared
off this morning in Kensington, as Ontario pulled out a tough
1-0 win to improve its record to 6-0, while Manitoba fell to
5-1. In a very good pitching matchup, Ontario pitcher Natalie
Becker (Waterloo, ON) fired a no-hitter with 15 strikeouts, while
Manitoba?s Sarah Shotton (Winnipeg, MB) was also very effective
and only allowed one run on five innings with 11 strikeouts.
Becker?s perfect game bid ended when a batter reached on a third-strike
passed ball, and the following hitter reached on an error. The
winning run was scored in the bottom of the fourth when Jillian
Russell (Bryon, ON) singled, moved to second on a single and
scored on an error by the right fielder.    
 

British Columbia 8, Saskatchewan 0. British Columbia also moved
to 6-0 with a win over Saskatchewan, seemingly paving the way
for a battle of unbeaten teams with Ontario tomorrow at 2:00pm
on TSN2 and RIS. BC pitcher Marian Demore (Vancouver, BC) allowed
only three hits and registered nine strikeouts for the shutout
victory in the pitchers circle. BC opened the scoring in the
first with a run on an error, while Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC)
smacked an RBI single in the second to give BC a 2-0 lead. A
big fourth inning proved to be the difference for BC, as Paige
Collings (Delta, BC) cracked a leadoff solo homerun, Andrea Stevenson
(Delta, BC) later hit an RBI single and Lindsay McElroy (Tsawwassen,
BC) capped off the big inning with a big three-run triple before
scoring on a wild pitch. 
 

Alberta 3, New Brunswick 0. In a very good ballgame, Alberta
scored two runs in the top of the first inning and pitcher Camille
Czarnecki (Edmonton, AB) fired a one-hitter to lead Alberta to
the win. Rachel Caputo (Edomonton, AB) led off the game with
a single, moved to third on an error the very next play and scored
the first run of the game on a wild pitch, and Kiera Lyons (Ryley,
AB) later drove in another run with a single. In the sixth, Kendice
Ogilvie (Delburne, AB) led off with a triple and score on a sacrifice
fly by Lyons to add the third run. Czarnecki had a no-hitter
with one out in the seventh, but Samantha DeBortoli (Saint John,
NB) hit a single over the second baseman to register New Brunswick?s
only hit.   
 

Prince Edwards Island 9, Newfoundland and Labrador 1. Prince
Edward Island notched its first win of the tournament with a
9-1 win in six innings over Newfoundland and Labrador. Newfoundland
opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the first, but
PEI pitcher Taylore Matheson (Summerside, PEI) settled down the
rest of the way by allowing only one hit over the five following
innings. Kayla Hackett (Tignish, PEI) and Ashley Praught (Summerside,
PEI) each had two RBIs for PEI, while Jessica Hay (Cornwall,
PEI) added two singles, a triple and an RBI. Miriah McIsaac (Vernon
River, PEI) also hit two sacrifice fly balls. 
 

British Columbia 8, Quebec 0. British Columbia continued its
dominance as they have not allowed a run in seven games, with
huge matchups with Manitoba (6-1) and Ontario (7-0) coming up
on the final day of the preliminary round. BC pitcher Kylie Ellis
(Aldergrove, BC) threw a one-hitter with a lot of help from her
defence, as she registered four strikeouts. National Team player
Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) had a double, two singles and an
RBI for BC, while Charlotte Dolan (Coquitlam, BC) added a pair
of singles. Kristen McKenzie (Senneville, QC) hit a single in
the second inning for Quebec?s only hit. Quebec fell to 4-3 with
the loss with a key matchup against Alberta (4-3) coming up tomorrow
night at 6:00pm.
 

Ontario 11, New Brunswick 0. Ontario scored nine runs in the
bottom of the first inning and added two more in the fourth to
beat New Brunswick at Evangeline Field in Abram-Village. Ontario
pitcher Tina Andreanna (Oakville, ON) threw the five inning win,
allowing three hits and retiring 11 batters on strikes. Ontario
hit seven singles in the first to produce six runs, while Natalie
Wideman (Mississauga, ON) hit an RBI double and Lindsay Woods
(Mississauga, ON) smashed a two-run triple. Both ended the day
going three-for-three with two runs scored and two runs batted
in. Ontario joined BC with a 7-0 record, as the two teams will
square off at 2:00pm ADT tomorrow in a game that can be seen
live on TSN2 and RIS.
 

Nova Scotia 2, Saskatchewan 0. Nova Scotia bounced back from
a loss earlier in the morning to defeat Saskatchewan in O?Leary,
as Holly Denny (Waycobah, NS) fired a one-hitter with 12 strikeouts.
Nova Scotia opened the scoring in the bottom of the third, as
Laura MacKay (Stellarton, NS) singled and later scored on an
a double by Lisa White (Eureka, NS). Nova Scotia added an important
insurance run in the sixth, as Amanda Somers (Cole Harbour, NS)
singled and later scored on an error. Maria Buckingham (Shellbrook,
SK) was the hard-luck losing pitcher, allowing only three hits
with 11 strikeouts. With the win, Nova Scotia improved to 3-4
and is still in the hunt for the fourth and final playoff spot,
but will need a lot of help on the final day of the preliminary
round.   
 

Manitoba 5, Newfoundland and Labrador 0. Manitoba bounced back
from its first loss of the tournament this morning by beating
Newfoundland and Labrador 5-0. Manitoba pitcher Jen Dixon (Brandon,
MB) pitched the complete game shutout, scattering seven hits,
and also smashed a two-run homerun in the fifth. Paige Smith
(Gretna, MB) and Kellie Baker (Brandon, MB) both had RBI singles
in the third. Michelle Rideout (Conception Bay, NL) and Diana
Carroll (Holyrood, NL) each registered two hits as Newfoundland
and Labrador outhit Manitoba 7-6, but was not able to score any
runs.
 

Alberta 7, Prince Edward Island 6. Alberta was a big mover on
Wednesday as they registered two big wins to join Quebec in a
tie for the fourth and final playoff spot with a 4-3 record,
with the two teams squaring off in a key matchup at 6:00pm on
Thursday. Alberta jumped out to a 6-0 lead, but PEI fought back
with three runs in the fifth to ignite the local fans, but Emilee
Pittman (Calgary, AB) came out in relief and shut down the rally
with runners on first and third. After Alberta added another
insurance marker in the top of the seventh, PEI would not quit
as Heidi MacRae hit a two-out RBI triple and scored on a passed
ball to cut the lead to 7-6. However, that was as close as PEI
would get. Maggie McIsaac (Vernon River, PEI) took the loss for
PEI, but turned in a very good performance to keep PEI in the
game. Alberta will face a tough road to the playoffs as they
will take on Ontario (7-0) at 10:00am before a huge matchup with
Quebec (4-3) at 6:00pm in a game that may very well decide who
will advance to the playoff round.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nova Scotia split another pair of games at the 2009 Canada Games
being held in Prince Edward Island, losing 7-1 to Quebec and
defeating Saskatchewan 2-0.

In the opener held at Evangeline Field, Quebec opened up a quick
4-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning, knocking out 4 hits and
taking advantage of a couple of NS errors. Nova Scotia had many
chances to get back in the contest but leaving runners on base
was once again the story for NS. Nova Scotia out hit Quebec 10-6
but could manage just the one run, stranding 12 runners during
the course of the game.

Trisha Bouchard led the Quebec attack with a double and two singles
in three trips to the plate. Laura MacKay was the top hitter
for NS with three singles. Alyssa MacKinnon also reached base
three times with a single a walk & was hit by a pitch. The lone
NS run was scored when Lyndsey LeBlanc drove in MacKinnon with
a single in the 3rd inning.

Caroline Champoux picked up the win striking out 10, 9 of which
came with runners on base. Lisa Green was charged with the loss.

The evening contest in O???Leary proved to be more successful
for the Nova Scotians, using the dominant pitching performance
of Holly Denny to defeat Saskatchewan 2-0. Denny would give up
just two singles while striking out 12 and walking two to earn
the victory. Saskatchewan hurler Maria Buckingham was not far
behind, striking out 11 NS batters and allowing only three hits.
Nova Scotia scored one in the 3rd inning when Laura MacKay singled,
stole second and came home on a 2 out double by Lisa White. They
added one in the bottom half of the 6th when Amanda Somers singled,
moved to second on a Lisa White walk and scored when Meghan Brown???s
ground ball was mishandled by shortstop Erin Dyck.

Nova Scotia finishes round robin play on Thursday with games
at Noon vs Newfoundland & Labrador and 4 PM vs Manitoba.

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 5 Results

 

Highlights of the Day

 

British Columbia 5, Manitoba 0. In a very good matchup between
two playoff teams in Kensington, British Columbia scored three
runs in the top of the fifth and added two more in the sixth
to pull out the 5-0 victory. BC pitcher Nicole Sidor (West Vancouver,
BC) pitched a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts, while her counterpart
Amanda Greenberg (Winnipeg, MB) from Manitoba took the loss by
allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work, retiring seven
hitters on strikes. BC took advantage of three errors in the
two innings in which they scored runs, while Charlotte Dolan
(Coquitlam, BC) drove in a run the hard way with a bases loaded
hit by pitch. Kelsey Bryant (Surrey, BC) also drove in a run
with a single in the sixth. The win improved BC?s record to 8-0
with a huge game against Ontario later in the day.
 

Ontario 3, Alberta 0. Ontario kept pace with BC by beating Alberta
to improve its record to 8-0 in O?Leary. Lacey Dinney (Binbrook,
ON) pitched a no-hitter for Ontario, as only one hitter reached
base on an error and was retired on a double play the very next
batter. Logan White (Brantford, ON) and Lindsay Woods (Mississauga,
ON) each drove in a run, while Meagan Baird (Ajax, ON) added
a double and a single. Despite the loss, Alberta would take on

a two-run double in the seventh and later scored on a passed
ball. Taylore Matheson (Summerside, PEI) and Dayna Arsenault
(Wellington, PEI) each had a hit for PEI.
 

Nova Scotia 6, Newfoundland and Labrador 5. In a very entertaining
game at VIV Field in Summerside, Nova Scotia scored one run in
every inning with the exception of the sixth, including the game-winning
run in the top of the seventh. Amanda Somers (Cole Harbour, NS)
and Kylie Boudreau (Dartmouth, NS) each had a pair of hits and
a run batted in for Nova Scotia, while Meghan Brown (Lower Onslow,

Quebec 12, New Brunswick 0. At Evangeline School in Abram-Village,
Patricia Seguin (Rigaud, QC) and Rochelle Flanagan (Beaconsfield,
QC) combined for a five-inning no-hitter, and Quebec pounded
out twelve hits to beat New Brunswick. Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne,
QC) produced a double, two singles, two runs batted in and two
runs to lead Quebec at the plate, while Katheryne Robert-Leblanc
(Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC) was three-for-three with a run
batted in and two runs. Trisha Bouchard (Kirkland, QC) added
a two-run double in the fifth.
 

Ontario 2, British Columbia, 1. In a much anticipated battle
between two unbeaten teams at 2-0 which aired on TSN2 and RIS,
Ontario scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings and
escaped a dangerous sixth inning when BC stranded the bases loaded
to earn the 2-1 win. Starting pitchers Marina Demore (Vancouver,
BC) and Tina Andreanna (Oakville, ON) each had solid outings
by allowing only one run each. At the plate, Jillian Russell
(Bryon, ON) drove in the game?s opening run in the bottom of
the fourth, and Kelly Blea (Whitby, ON) led off the fifth with
a double and later scored on a single by Katie Burke (Scarborough,
ON) to give Ontario a 2-0 lead. BC cut the lead in half on an
RBI single by Lindsay McElroy (Tsawwassen, BC) in the top of
the sixth, but Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) came on in relief
of Andreanna to retire the final out of the inning, leaving the
bases loaded. Both team will meet again in the 1 vs. 2 playoff
game at 10:00am tomorrow morning, with the winning team earning
a direct berth to Saturday?s final. The losing team will play
in the Bronze medal game to earn another chance in the Championship
game. 
 

Manitoba 8, Nova Scotia 0. Sarah Shotton (Winnipeg, MB) pitched
another great game as she only allowed three hits with eight
strikeouts to earn the shutout victory over Nova Scotia in five
innings. Manitoba opened the scoring with a run in the top of
the third on a perfectly executed safety squeeze by Deanna Mitchell
(Portage la Prairie, MB). The following inning, Adrianna Boychuk
(Portage la Prairie, MB) hit an RBI single and Macey Hickes (Winnipeg,
MB) added a two-run single to give Manitoba a little breathing
room. Jen Dixon (Brandon, MB) then put the game out of reach
with a two-run triple in the fifth, and then scored on a single
by Boychuk. Amanda Somers (Cole Harbour, NS) had a double in
the fourth for Nova Scotia. With the win, Manitoba finished third
place with a 7-2 record.
 

Alberta 0, Quebec 1. In the most meaningful game of the day,
Quebec finished fourth in the preliminary round and advanced
to the playoff round by scoring one run in the top of the seventh.
An Alberta win would have given them fourth place, but they fell
just short. Quebec pitcher Caroline Champoux (Terrebonne, QC)
and Alberta pitcher Camille Czarnecki (Edmonton, AB) gave it
everything they had, as Champoux allowed only two hits and struck
out eight, while Czarnecki allowed only three hits with six strikeouts.
The only run of the game scored when Marilyne Cloutier (Laval,
QC) hit a one-out double, was replaced by Rochelle Flanagan (Beaconsfield,
QC) on the bases. Flanagan stole third and scored when the catcher
overthrew third base. With the win, Quebec finished in fourth
place with a 6-3 record and will face Manitoba in the 3 vs. 4
playoff game. 
 

Saskatchewan 16, Newfoundland and Labrador 0. Saskatchewan scored
11 runs in the third inning to beat Newfoundland and Labrador
in three innings due to the run rule. Saskatchewan produced 14
singles in the game, while Casey Simpson (Nokomis, SK) had the
only extra base hit of the game, a grand slam in the top of the
third. At the end of the day, six Saskatchewan players registered
two hits, and Alicia Eger (Regina, SK) had four runs batted in.
Saskatchewan ended the tournament with a 4-5 record, while Newfoundland
and Labrador finished 0-9.
 

New Brunswick 8, Prince Edward Island 2. New Brunswick won the
Battle of the Bridge by defeating Prince Edward Island in front
of a huge crowd at VIV Field in Summerside. In the second inning,
Stephanie Marquis (Lameque, NB) hit a two-run triple in the second
inning and then scored on a double by Katie Carr (Rusagonis,
NB) to put New Brunswick up 5-1, and they never looked back to
take the 8-2 win. Alecia O?Brien (Saint John, NB) earned the
win in the pitcher?s circle for New Brunswick, who finished in
8th place with a 2-7 record.

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 6 Results

 

Highlights of the Day

 

British Columbia 3, Ontario 0. After losing 2-1 to Ontario in
their final preliminary round game, BC got a measure of revenge
by shutting out Ontario 3-0 in the 1 vs. 2 playoff game. BC opened
the scoring in the top of the third when Corrine Doornberg (Langley,
BC) forced a walk and later scored on a single by Kelsey Haberl
(Burnaby, BC). BC then added two more runs in the sixth, as Charlotte
Dolan (Coquitlam, BC) launched a leadoff solo homerun, and Lindsay
McElroy (Tsawwassen, BC) reached on a fielder?s choice and score
on a double by Paige Collings (Delta, BC). Courtenay Cronin (Delta,
BC) fired a three-hitter and struck out nine batters for Team
BC to lead them to the Gold medal game.
 

Quebec 2, Manitoba 0. Manitoba had beaten Quebec 2-1 in a nail-biter
on TSN2 and RIS on Monday, but Quebec came out with the important
playoff victory to eliminate Manitoba. Caroline Champoux (Terrebonne,
QC) dominated in the pitcher?s circle for Quebec, allowing only
three hits in the complete-game shutout. Amanda Greenberg (Winnipeg,
MB) and Sarah Shotton (Winnipeg, MB) each allowed a run in the
loss. Quebec opened the scoring in the third when Catheryne Robert-Leblanc
(Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC) led off with a double and later
scored when a dropped third strike was thrown to first and the
throw to home was just late. They then added a very important
insurance run in the fifth as Laurie-Anne Thouin (Varennes, QC)
led off with a double as well and scored on a single by Brigitte
Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC). With the win, Quebec moved on to the
Bronze medal game against Ontario with a shot at the Championship
game on the line.
 

Ontario 5, Quebec 0. Ontario won another rematch with BC in the
Gold medal game by beating Quebec 5-0. In a big second inning,
Rebecca Stanley (Waterloo, ON) led off with a single and later
scored on a single by Meagan Baird (Ajax,ON). Baird then scored
on a double by Laura McIntosh (Waterloo, ON) before Stephanie
Foreman (Cambridge, ON) launched a two-run homerun to centerfield.
Logan White (Brantford, ON) then singled and later scored on
an error to give Ontario a commanding 5-0 lead. Ontario starting
pitcher Tina Andreanna (Oakville, ON) pitched four solid inning
while only surrendering one hit before Natalie Becker pitched
three hitless innings to seal the victory. Quebec will be awarded
its first women?s softball Bronze medal at the Canada Games after
tomorrow?s Gold medal game.

Canada Games Softball Competition ? Day 6 Results

 

Highlights of the Day

 

British Columbia 2, Ontario 1. In a very exciting Gold medal
game, British Columbia came out on top with a 2-1 win against
Ontario. Both teams had very solid pitching and played good defence,
but Paige Collings? (Delta, BC) solo homerun in the bottom of
the fourth proved to be the difference. 
 

BC opened the scoring in the bottomof the third inning, as they
quickly loaded the bases when Corrine Doornberg(Langley, BC)
led off with a single, Andrea Stevenson (Delta, BC) walked, and
KelseyHaberl (Burnaby, BC) reached on an error. Charlotte Dolan
then hit a sacrificefly ball in foul territory in left field
to allow Doornberg to tag up fromthird and score. Ontario wasted
no time in responding as Jillian Russell(Bryon, ON) smashed a
solo homerun to right-center field to tie the game at1-1. However,
BC re-took the lead when Paige Collings (Delta, BC) hit a solohomerun
of her own to left field to lead off the following inning. Ontariothreatened
in the fifth by getting a leadoff double by Meagan Baird (Ajax,
ON),but Baird was later retired at home trying to score from
third on a grounder tothe pitcher and BC escaped the inning with
the lead intact.

 

Ontario kept the pressure on in thesixth as well by they loaded
the bases with two outs after an error and twowalks, but was
not able to push anyone across to score as Nicole Sidor (WestVancouver,
BC) got a big strikeout to get out of the inning. 

 

Both teams elected to go with twopitchers in the game, as British
Columbia started Courtenay Cronin (Delta BC)who pitched five
innings allowing only one run on four hits with fourstrikeouts.
Sidor shut the door in relief to earn the save, throwing twohitless
innings with 3 strikeouts. For Ontario, Tina Andreanna (Oakville,
ON)three innings, allowing two runs on six hits before being
replaced by LaceyDinney (Binbrook, ON) who pitched the final
three innings without allowing ahit.

third Gold in the history of the Canada Games.Ontario was awarded
with the Silver medal, while Quebec took home the Bronze.

Lords win back-to-back games in Rochester

Women?s Fastball
Game One ? Durham defeated Monroe 10-5
Game Two ? Durham defeated Monroe 11-5

ROCHESTER, NY - The Durham College women?s fastball team looked
impressive in their season opener as they swept the first two
games of their weekend series against the three-time National
Junior College champion Monroe Community College in Rochester,
NY.

The Lords took the opening game by a score of 10-5 behind the
power of 2008 OCAA Player of the Year Erin Dewey (Port Hope,
Ont.) who picked up a home run and a triple with three RBI?s.
Danielle Smith ( Oshawa, Ont.) picked up the win while freshman
Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park, Albt.) pitched two innings of relief.

In game two, Dewey was back at it again as she hit another home
run and a single, as the Lords used a seven run fifth inning
to get past Monroe 11-5. Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.) was credited
with the win coming in relief of the starter Hagan.

?It was a good start to the season,? said Durham College head
coach Jim Nemish. ?Our team played tight defence and hit the
ball well. We will look for more of the same play tomorrow against
this tough ball club.?

The Lords will be back on the diamond tomorrow morning as they
wrap up the four game set against Monroe. Durham will begin OCAA
regular season action on Friday, September 18 with their home
opener against Mohawk College at 6:30 p.m.

Durham will host the annual CAN-AM Classic from Saturday, September

DC women?s fastball wraps up weekend series in Rochester

Women?s Fastball
Game One ? Monroe defeated Durham 9-1
Game Two ? Durham defeated Monroe 7-6

ROCHESTER, NY - The Durham College women?s fastball team split
the final two games of their weekend series in Rochester, NY,
which saw them take three of four games over the three-time National
Junior College champion Monroe Community College.

? Monroe is always a great test for our team,? said Durham College
head coach Jim Nemish. ?It was a great weekend of fastball and
we are now ready to get the regular season started on Friday
night.?

The Lords will host Mohawk College on Friday, September 18 at
Durham Field on campus in their regular season opener. First
pitch is at 6:30 p.m.

Durham came out flat in their first game on Sunday as Monroe
scored five runs in the first inning, with the rally started
by a lead off home run. The Tribunes never looked back in the
contest as they added four more runs to give them an easy 9-1
victory.

Game two was very entertaining as the teams found themselves
in a see-saw match-up. Durham got off to the hot start this time
as Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.) hit a three run triple in the
first inning. She would later score off a Jodi Lang (Walkerton,
Ont.) RBI single. Monroe would bounce back quickly with three
runs over the first two innings but trailing by a run in the
late stages of the game, the Tribunes could not solve relief
pitcher Janna Hagen as the Lords went on to win by a score of
7-6.

Monroe will make the road trip to Oshawa next weekend as Durham
College is hosting the annual CAN-AM Classic from September 19-20.
The Lords enter the tournament as the defending champions.

Smith pitches a no-hitter in Lords home opener

Women?s Fastball: Durham defeated Mohawk 13-1
*Durham College pitcher Danielle Smith threw a no-hitter

OSHAWA, Ont. ? Durham College women?s fastball ace Danielle Smith
(Oshawa, Ont.) threw a gem in the 2009 home opener as she pitched
a no-hitter as the Lords defeated Mohawk College 13-1 in five-innings.

The energetic opening night crowd witnessed Smith at her best
as she struck out five Mohawk hitters and allowed zero walks
and hits. Mohawk?s only run on the night came after two Durham
fielding errors, costing the Lords the shutout victory.

The teams were scoreless after the first three innings play and
Mohawk took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth. That is when
Durham busted things wide open as they scored seven runs in the
fourth inning followed by six runs in the fifth giving them the
13-1 victory.

Durham?s bats were in full force as five players recorded two
hits including Erica Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.), Carolyn Moore (Oshawa,
Ont.), Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.), Jodi Lang (Walkerton, Ont.)
and Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.).

The Lords will now turn their attention to the CAN-AM Classic
at Durham Field that takes place this weekend as the team will
face Mohawk College at 11 a.m. The first game of the tournament
will also count as an OCAA league game.

after defeating Mohawk 6-0 in the morning semi-finals.

In typical DC women?s fastball fashion, the team dug down deep
and left it all out on the field as the Lords pulled out a thrilling
two-run victory, claiming their second straight tournament title.
Prior to last year, Monroe had won back-to-back CAN-AM Classic
titles.

Head coach Jim Nemish has the Lords looking sharp to open up
2009 as they are 2-0 in conference play and have an overall record
of 7-2, including four victories over the very tough Tribune
squad. Durham is now the only team in the OCAA without a loss
in conference play as St. Clair fell to Seneca on Saturday afternoon.

The CAN-AM champions will be back in action on Tuesday, September
22 with a doubleheader against the Seneca Sting. Game time in
North York will be at 6 p.m.

The Lords next home action will not be until Friday, October
2 as the Lords host the Conestoga Condors.

FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR GEE GEES DESPITE LOSS


TO OIWFA CHAMPS WESTERN MUSTANGS

 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
 
OTTAWA, ON September 20, 2009.
 

The University of Ottawa women?s fastball team opened their season
this past weekend with a 2-2 record.  Saturday saw the Gee Gees
best the Windsor Lancers by taking two games.  While the weather
was favourable, the softball gods weren?t smiling on the Gee
Gees Sunday as they lost both games to their arch rivals the
University of Western Mustangs, 8-1 and 10-8.

 

The Gee Gees were slow out of the gate in a 8-1 loss to the Mustangs
in game #1.  They rebounded with a solid effort in game #2. 
Despite opening with a quick 3 runs in the first inning, the
Gee Gees couldn?t hold off the defending champs.  Despite strong
performances from veterans Vanessa HOMIAK (3 for 4 with a HR,
2 singles, 3 runs scored) and 7 solid innings from pitcher Jill
TAYLOR (7 IP, 3 earned runs, 4 strikeouts) the Gee Gees just
couldn?t muster up enough runs to split the doubleheader.

 

The Gee Gees and Mustangs faced one another in the 2008 Ontario
Intercollegiate Women?s Fastpitch Championship game and are the
early favourites to meet again in the 2009 Ontario championships.

 

The Gee Gees next game is scheduled for September 25, 2009 vs.
crosstown rivals the Carleton Ravens.  Time and location yet
to be determined.

season on Saturday September 19th against the University of Windsor

changed hands several times before starting pitcher Emily ERNST

team and threw a total of 6 innings before handing the ball over
to closer Jill TAYLOR.  The Gee Gees seized control in the 5th
inning taking advantage of clutch hitting from rookie third basemen,
Stephanie SAMMS.

on all cylinders eventually invoking the mercy rule by defeating
the Windsor Lancers 7-0 over 5 innings.  Powered by the strong
pitching of 2008 Gee Gee MVP Jill TAYLOR (3 hits over 5 innings)
and the hard hitting of rookie Jenna FLANIGAN (2 for 4, with

header on Sunday September 20, 2009 at Pierre Rocque park in
Orleans (game times 12:00noon and 2:00pm).   This game will feature

Seneca ace struck out a record setting 17 batters in a win over
Mohawk.

Seneca by a final score of 7-0. With the bases loaded in the
top of the sixth inning, Seneca conceded the victory ending the

Hi All
 
The SpinMaster Pitchers and Catchers School is planning to start
up classes November 2, 2009, just over 5 weeks away. As of this
date I have but a few commitment cheques from parents/students
who have sent in their registration information of: students
name, date of birth, phone numbers, parents/guardians names,
home address, email address, class time desired, and if you are
a pitcher or a catcher. A confirmation committal cheque should
be included with this information. This is the only way that
I can ensure that there will be a school this year.
 
Please mail your attending son's or daughter's required paperwork
as soon as possible as there are start up expenses that have
to be paid before the first class and so that the stars of tomorrow
do not miss out on this valuable learning experience.
 
Thanks

Lords lose for the first time this year in OCAA action

Women?s Fastball: St. Clair defeated Durham 6-5

WINDSOR, Ont. ? The Durham College women?s fastball team suffered
their first loss of the season as they fell 6-5 to the St. Clair
Saints on Saturday in a rematch of last year?s OCAA finals.

With the game tied at five runs a piece, St. Clair first baseman
Danielle Desautels hit a walk off single to drive in the winning
run.

?It was a good game that could have gone either way,? said Durham
College head coach Jim Nemish. ?We got off to a slow start which
really hurt us. We did well to battle back but the slow start
caught up with us.?

Durham trailed 5-2 heading into the sixth inning but drew closer
with two runs in the top of the inning. Down a single run in
the top of the seventh inning, freshman Kayla MacLean (Whitby,
Ont.) hit a home run to tie the game at five. Unfortunately for
MacLean, St. Clair hit three singles of her in the bottom half
of the inning to pick up the 6-5 victory.

Danielle Smith (Oshawa, Ont.) started the game for Durham giving
up five runs on six hits and two walks over three and a third
innings. MacLean pitched the rest of the game allowing one run
on five hits and two walks.

Top batters for Durham on the day were Jodi Lang (Walkerton,
Ont.) and Shannon Ferguson (Brockville, Ont.), each with a single
and a double in the game as well as Carolyn Moore (Oshawa, Ont.)
who picked up two singles.

Durham will be back in action on Tuesday, September 29 with a
road game against Mohawk College at 6 p.m.

The Lords return home for three games next weekend beginning
on Friday night against Conestoga at 6:30 p.m. Saturday?s doubleheader
vs. St. Clair (12/2 p.m.) will be minor fastball day at Durham
Field.

OTTAWA, ON September 27, 2009

Gee-Gees Women's Fastball Team Takes 4 of 6 Games

This weekend was full of fastball for the Gee-Gees, playing the
Carleton
Ravens on Friday, the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday and the
Waterloo
Warriors on Sunday.

The first pair of games against Carleton in Manotick was an excellent
show
of great offence fused with great defence, with the Gee-Gees
winning both
with 10-0 and 11-0.. Highlights include back to back no-hitters
from Emily Ernst and
 Jillian Taylor, Vanessa Homiak's in-park homerun and a
stand-up triple by Laura Skiperis.

The Gee-Gees held their free fastball clinic for younger athletes
at
Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville before their games against
the Laurier
Golden Hawks. The games were incredibly tight, with the Gee-Gees
losing by
just one run in both games to the Hawks.  The first game went
to extra innings and saw Laurier take a 6-5 victory.  The second
game was just as close as the Gee-Gees mounted an impressive
comeback to score 2 runs to tie the game in the visitors half
of the 7th inning, only to see Laurier push across the winning
run in the bottom half. 2 very good games between strong teams.The
Gee-Gees will look to reclaim those loses against them at the
National University Championships, held in Waterloo on Thanksgiving
weekend.

On Sunday afternoon, the Gee-Gees pushed hard against the Waterloo
Warriors. Emily Ernst pitched a great first game through the
rain and with
the help of great at bats from hitters one through nine, the
Gee-Gees
defeated the Warriors with a strong 8-1 win. The second game
proved to be
even more exciting, with a homerun from rookie, Jenna Flannigan
and
another great hit from Vanessa Homiak, deep into right field.
Jillian
Taylor held down the fort with her excellent pitching and the
Gee-Gees won
14-0.

The Gee-Gees will travel this weekend to play against McMaster,
York and
Brock.

Message-ID: <290909272.21590@webbox.com>




You may have heard through the BSUK grapevine orelsewhere that
the GB Women's Fastpitch Team came second in EuropeanChampionships
this past summer -- our best-ever result -- and thereby qualifiedto
play in the ISF Women's World Championships next year in Oklahoma
City.

 

So we're putting together a programme for next summerthat will
involve a 10-day training camp starting in late June, participationin
the Canada Cup in Vancouver in early July and then on to the
WorldChampionships in mid-July.

 

We are currently facing two problems in connection withexecuting
this programme and being successful at the Canada Cup and WorldChampionships.
The first is that we need to raise about ?60,000! But that's
ourproblem, and it's not what I'm writing about....

 

The second problem is that our success in the EuropeanChampionships
was largely down to a tremendous performance by our #1 pitcher,
ayoung woman named Stacie Townsend who has just started her last
year ofeligibility at the University of Texas El Paso. But we
have very littlepitching behind her, and nothing of the quality
required to back up Stacie at aworld level.

 

So we're looking for pitchers, and because there aren'tany in
the UK, we're hoping to find one or more good Canadian, Australian,American
or whatever pitchers with a British parent. And because of theconnections
between Britain and Canada, there have always been softball andbaseball
players in Canada with at least one British parent; you just
have tofind them!

 

As you know, pitchers in fastpitch can throw much moreoften than
in baseball, so we don't need a whole pitching staff; just anothercouple
of decent pitchers will do.

 

So ... the point of all this is to ask whether you wouldbe willing
to put the word out through any academic or softball networks
andpeople in Canada that you might have access to see if we can
uncover a pitcherwith British heritage. By definition, she would
be below the level required tomake Team Canada; but there are
a lot of good pitchers in Canada below thatlevel who could help
us.

 

Anyone you uncover should contact me.

 

Please let me know if you think there's anything you cando --
and thanks for your help!

 

Below, I've pasted in a copy of the notice that I've beensending
to US college coaches in case that might be useful.

NOTICE TO COLLEGE COACHES

 

 

Dear _________,

 

The Great Britain Women's Fastpitch Team has qualified toplay
in the ISF Women's World Championships in Oklahoma City in July
2010.

 

We have a talented team that finished second in EuropeanChampionships
this summer -- our highest-ever placing! -- but to competesuccessfully
at the World Championships we need more pitching depth.

 

So we are looking for good pitchers who have a Britishfamily
heritage and who could qualify for a British passport if they
don'talready have one.

 

To qualify for a passport, the player must have been bornin Great
Britain herself, or have a parent who is a British citizen and
wasborn in Great Britain. Players with British grandparents or
great-grandparentscannot qualify.

Durham runs over Mohawk College in Women's Fastball Action

Women?s Fastball: Durham defeated Mohawk 16-0

HAMILTON, Ont. ? The Durham College women?s fastball team looked
very impressive on Tuesday night as they shutout the Mohawk Mountaineers
16-0 in Hamilton.

?It was an excellent effort put forward by the entire lineup
tonight,? said Durham College head coach Jim Nemish. ?A complete
game in all areas by everyone. A total team effort.?

Freshman pitcher Janna Hagan of Sherwood Park, Albt. did not
let the cool temperature slow her down as she threw a one hitter,
facing only thirteen Mohawk hitters over four innings before
the game was called due to the mercy rule.

Although the final score was one-sided, the Lords and Mountaineers
played the first two innings to a scoreless draw. The Durham
bats would eventually heat up in the top of the third inning
as the Lords scored three runs, led by Erin Dewey's (Port Hope,
Ont.) two run triple.

Durham would break things wide open in the top of the fourth
scoring 13 runs to take a commanding 16-0 lead. The inning was
highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Dewey and Samantha
Roelofsen (Alma, Ont.).

The Lords 16 run outburst was led by Erin Dewey who went 4-for-4
with four RBI?s. Dewey would finish a double shy of the cycle.

Other top hitters on the night included Erica Dewey (Port Hope,
Ont.), who went 2-for-3 with two RBI?s and Roelofsen who was
2-for-3. Hagan and Jodi Lang (Walkerton, Ont.) finished with
a pair of singles apiece at the plate..

The Lords will now look ahead to the weekend where they return
home to Durham Field. Conestoga will visit Oshawa on Friday,
October 2 for an evening affair beginning at 6:30 p.m. The defending
OCAA champion St. Clair Saints will take on the Lords on Saturday,
October 3 for a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m. Saturday?s
game will be minor fastball day at the ballpark.

place

Game One: Durham defeated St. Clair 5-3
Game Two: Durham defeated St. Clair 1-0

OSHAWA, Ont. ? The Durham Lords women?s fastball team needed
a sweep over St. Clair to have a shot at winning the OCAA regular
season title. On Saturday afternoon, the Lords did just that
as they defeated the Saints in both games of their rainy doubleheader

With the two wins, the Lords improve to 7-1 in conference play
while the Saints fall to 9-3. The Saints have wrapped up their
regular season while the Lords need to win two of their final
four games to clinch their 12th regular season title in 13 years.

On Saturday, the Lords found themselves trailing 3-1 in the late
innings of the game, but used a four run sixth inning to comeback
and shock the Saints, picking up the ?w? in game one. Lords pitcher
Kayla MacLean would pick up the win.

Game two was just as tight as it was a pitchers duel between
Janna Hagan and Samantha Newton. Although the Lords only managed
three hits in the game, they would come out on top with a 1-0
win. The only run would come on a bases loaded, one out walk
midway through the game.

Hagan would pick up the complete game shutout against the rival
Saints, increasing her shutout streak to 11 innings in the regular
season.

OTTAWA, ON October 4, 2009

Tough Weekend for University of Ottawa GeeGees Fastpitch Team

The first of a series of long road trips went underway this weekend,
as
the Ottawa Gee-Gees fastpitch team travelled a few hours south
to play
against the York Lions, the McMaster Marauders and Brock University.
The
weather was unkind for fastball players this weekend, raining
out the
games against York on Friday night. The Gee-Gees went on to Mohawk
Sports
Park in Hamilton to face a defensively strong McMaster team.
A few
uncharacteristic offensive and defensive plays made it very difficult
for
the Ottawa Gee-Gees to come back from McMaster's 2-0 lead. The
Gee-Gees
could not recover and fell to a 3-0 loss. With a rejuvenated
spirit, the
Gee-Gees recovered much lost ground in the second game, with
some great
timely hits from rookies Jenna Flannigan, Kristen Barber and
Stephanie
Samms, leaving the Gee-Gees 6-4 in the fourth inning. Unfortunately,
the
weather again took a turn for the worse, with hail and then heavy
rain,
resulting in the game being called by the umpires.

The Gee-Gees then went on to play Brock University on Sunday
afternoon.
The first game proved to be a game between the pitchers and tough
defence,
leaving it scoreless until the 6th inning, where rookie, Brittany
Shank
pinch ran for 5th year veteran Elissa Sivel on second base and
rookie,
Kristen Barber took to first with a walk. Second year veteran,
Mallory
Watson drove in the RBI, with the Gee-Gees winning 1-0. The second
game
proved to be a game of frustration, with the Gee-Gees struggling
to come
back from a 6-0 Brock University lead. A short rally brought
the Gee-Gees
four runs, but this was not enough to take the lead.

The Gee-Gees will look to secure their 100th win at the National
University Championships this week at Waterloo.

Lords wrap up a record breaking regular season with a pair of
wins

Women?s Fastball
Game One ? Durham defeated Conestoga 10-0
Game Two ? Durham defeated Conestoga 4-0

KITCHENER, Ont. ? The Durham College women?s fastball team finished
up their OCAA regular season on Thursday night with two road
wins against Conestoga College.

With the pair of victories, Durham finished the year at 11-1,
earning their twelfth regular season title in 13 years and 24th
pennant overall.

It was a record setting year for the Lords at the plate as second
year infielder Samantha Roelofsen (Alma, Ont.) won the OCAA triple
crown, finishing first in every offensive category. Roelofsen
won the league batting title averaging .594 this season, the
highest total of any OCAA player since 1998. She also led the
league in hits (22), runs (19) and RBI?s (15).

Teammate and 2008 league batting champion Erin Dewey (Port Hope,
Ont.) also had an outstanding year, finishing the season with
a .463 average along with 19 hits, 14 runs and 13 RBI?s. Dewey?s
career batting average is .505 in two seasons, making her the
OCAA?s all-time career batting leader, breaking a record that
has stood since 1992.

Durham?s performance on the mound this season was also exceptional,
as the team allowed a league low 15 runs and gave up only one
run in their last five games.

Freshman Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park, Albt,) was untouchable on
the mound allowing no earned runs in 21 innings pitched. Hagan
saved her best for last as she pitched a one hitter in Thursday?s
game one victory.

Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.) also capped off a great season in
the circle with a win/loss record of 4-0 with an ERA of 1.75.

Thursday night?s two wins was a complete team effort over Conestoga
with every player in the lineup contributing. Roelofsen was 5-for-7
on the night with three runs and three RBI?s while Bailey Corneal
(Whitby, Ont.) went 2-for-3 in game two with a run scored. Nicole
Hayes (Whitby, Ont.) and Hagan picked up the wins for Durham.

The Lords hope to continue their great play in Kitchener this
weekend as they take part in the 2009 Canadian Intercollegiate
Women's Fastpitch National Championship from October 10-12, 2009.
The Lords will open up round robin play at the Peter Hallman

named the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association player of the
year. Top honours were handed out at the OCAA Fastball Championship
banquet in Hamilton on Thursday evening to kick off the 2009
provincial championship.

The Lords were the most recognized team of any college at the
banquet, earning a total of six awards. Dewey was named the player
of the year along with earning all-star recognition while teammate
Samantha Roelofsen (Alma, Ont..) won the league?s top hitter
award and was also named an all-star. Freshman Kayla MacLean
(Whitby, Ont.) earned the league?s top pitcher award and the
entire Lords roster was recognized as the regular season champions.

Dewey put together another spectacular season helping lead the
Lords to an 11-1 OCAA regular season record. At the plate, she
finished the year with an average of .488, with 20 hits, 14 runs
and 12 RBI?s. Her outstanding defensive play at the short stop
position anchored the Lords defence that allowed a league low
15 runs in 12 games.

In two years with the Lords, Dewey?s career batting average is
.505, making her the OCAA?s all-time career batting leader, breaking
a record that has stood since 1992.

Much like Dewey, Roelofsen had a tremendous year at the plate
earning her OCAA all-star status. In her second year with the
Lords, the Alma, Ont. native finished first in every major offensive
category, with an average of .594, 22 hits, 19 runs and 15 RBI?s.
With the top batting average in the league since 1992, Roelofsen
earned the top hitter award, the fourth time in five years a
Durham College athlete has won this title.

Kayla MacLean became the first Durham Lord in three years to
win the league?s top pitcher award. The freshman dominated OCAA
hitters all year registering a 4-0 record with a 1.75 ERA. She
also found perfection as she threw a perfect game this season
in a 10-0 win over Conestoga. MacLean and Janna Hagan (Sherwood
Park, Albt.) made up the top pitching staff in the league during
the regular season and hope to continue their success heading
into the OCAA championship.

The Lords entire team was honoured as the 2009 OCAA regular season
champions. Durham finished the regular season with an 11-1 record
to clinch their twenty-fourth overall OCAA regular season pennant.
For head coach Jim Nemish and the Lords, it marks their twelfth
regular season title in the last thirteen years.

the gold medal finals against St.Clair College, earning the silver
medal.

St. Clair will face Conestoga College in the bronze medal game
at 10 a.m. onSaturday with the winner advancing to the gold medal
game at 1 p.m. Durham willhave two cracks at winning the provincial
title as the championship is a doubleknockout format.

SpinMaster Pitching
 
The SpinMaster Pitchers and Catchers School commences again for
the seventh year 
in a row on Monday  November 2, 2009,  two weeks from now.
 
For those that have not registered as yet I suggest you do it
now to 
confirm your spot in the School and not miss out on this opportunity.
 
Pitchers will be instructed by as many as 5 experienced pitching

instructors which translates into a very small ratio of students
to instructor.
 
SpinMaster classes are held on Mondays for 19 sessions over the
fall, winter and spring seasons.
 
 
 
SpinMaster Catching 

 
Just a reminder that the SpinMaster Pitchers and Catchers School
provides instruction for catchers, not only pitchers.
 
Catchers to catching instructor ratio will  be roughly two or
three to one.

 Matt Swift, who played for the Oshawa Bombers  Intermediates
in the Oshawa City and District Fastball League, will head up
the instruction for the catching sessions with his 29 years of
catching/playing experience.  Matt will provide any prospective
or experienced catchers with the valuable tools required to be
very successful for many years to come.  
 
Anyone wishing to improve their game and move up to the next
level or information on the 
School should contact Mal Swift below:

Durham College student-athlete taking part in the Olympic Torch
Relay

OSHAWA, Ont. - The Olympic Torch Relay will inspire and engage
Canadiansfrom coast to coast as it travels along the path of
northern lights towards theVancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
Taking part in that journey will be DurhamCollege student-athlete
Mandi Doris (Ajax, Ont.), who will have a once in alifetime experience
participating in the torch relay.

"It is a great honour to be selected to carry the Olympic torch
and I amreally looking forward to it," said Doris. "It is defiantly
a once ina lifetime experience and one that I will remember forever."

The big day for Doris is on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. She
will be carryingthe torch for approximately 300 metres along
Edward St. in Newcastle, Ont. at2:20 p.m. in front of friends,
family and other proud Canadians getting achance to look at the
Olympic flame.

As a member of the Durham College women's volleyball team, Doris
has facedplenty of pressure filled situations in big matches
over her five year career,and knows the torch relay will be similar
to playing on the court.

"I am pretty calm about the situation right now but I am sure
the nerveswill kick in as the day approaches," said Doris. "My
family waspretty excited when we heard I would be taking part.
My mom has been tellingeveryone she knows!"

This year's Olympic Torch Relay is the longest in history, stretching
over1,000 communities across Canada. The relay began on October
30, 2009 and willfinish at the Opening Ceremony, marking the
official start of the Vancouver2010 Olympic Winter Games on February
12, 2010.

When asked to nominate a student-athlete for the Olympic torch
relay and to representDurham College, athletic director Ken Babcock
had no doubt that Doris was theperfect choice.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be chosen to carry
theOlympic torch," said Babcock. "She is a true leader, an outstandingperson,
and a role model student-athlete here at Durham College both
on and offthe court. I couldn't think of anyone more deserving
to carry out this hugehonour. I am also excited that Durham was
asked to be included in the 2010Olympic torch run."

Doris is not the only Durham Lord involved with the torch relay,
as formerwomen's fastball player Kailey Miller will also be taking
part in the run.Miller will be running on December 18th, 2009
in Newmarket, Ont.

After giving it considerable thought, I have decided due to travel

and financial constraints that I will no longer play for New
Image Salon.


It was a great four years, winning the NAFA National Championship

three times and once the ASA Class A National. No one will ever
forget the 
97-3 year.


I would like to thank manager Jeremie Holman; sponsor Peg Holman;
team 
fans; and all my teammates. No one could have asked for a greater
bunch of 
guys to be teammates with. Wishing them the best of luck in 2010
and 
beyond.



I do feel I still have some wins left in this old arm so if anyone
is 
in need of a pitcher, please contact me. My phone number is 608-846-6813

His 
e-mail is oldfab(at)hotmail.com The decision will ultimately
be mine but 
will listen to any good advice. Hopefully so teams can get there

Durham Lords/UOIT Ridgebacks in the Community

OSHAWA, Ont. - Having established themselves with championship
caliber programs and high graduation rates, Durham College and
UOIT varsity teams strive to be the best in athletics and academics.

The varsity athletic program has also made a strong commitment
to the local community through involvement. The Durham College
and UOIT Athletics Department encourages community initiatives,
providing a great experience for the athletes by lending a helping
hand to the neighbourhood in which they live.

Below is some recent and upcoming community events in which varsity
student-athletes at Durham College and UOIT are taking part in:

Elementary School Visits 
Varsity student-athletes are traveling around to local elementary
schools to talk to students about the importance of education
and healthy living, while assisting teachers running physical
education classes.

Athletes describe their experience of playing sports while focusing
on education. Topics such as homework, studying, respecting teachers,
the importance of physical activity and living a healthy lifestyle
are being brought to the student?s attention. The Lords and Ridgebacks
also get a chance to impress the children with some of their
athletic skills, while Hunter the Ridgeback and Lord Durham entertain
the classes.

Fundraising Events
Teams are constantly participating in fundraising events in order
to raise donations for local charities. The Durham College varsity
teams took part in the OCAA Breast Cancer campaign, which rose
over $7,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer society. The UOIT
rowing crew and men?s hockey team also took part in the Terry
Fox run this fall, while student-athletes participated in the
Movember challenge, growing mustaches to raise money for prostate
cancer research.

The Durham College women?s basketball team recently held their
second annual holiday toy drive for the Sick Kids foundation
(pictured), while the UOIT men?s and women?s hockey teams took
part in the campus wide holiday food drive.

Community Events
The Lords and Ridgebacks have also attended a number of community
events this past year. Most recently, members of the men?s hockey
team were out at the Rotary Skate-a-Thon at the GM Centre, signing
autographs for all of the participants.

Special Community Days
The UOIT Ridgebacks and Durham Lords host a number of community
days at their regular season home games. Anyone who has attended
a home game this year has more than likely seen a minor sports
team or choir perform before or during a game. Children get to
play and perform in front of the big crowds and even get to meet
some of the players. 

Minor Practices
The Durham Lords and UOIT Ridgebacks are helping lead practices
throughout the Durham Region. Whether it is club teams or school
teams, the Lords and Ridgebacks have been lending a hand, giving
tips to coaches and the players..

If you are interested in participating in any of these community
initiatives, please contact the Athletic Department at (905)
721-2000 ext. 2784.
