Local fastball product returns to Canada and is set to join the
Durham Lords

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
(OCAA) fastballseason.

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
OCAA championship. The team opens the OCAA regular seasonFriday,
September 18 when they host Mohawk College for a 6:30 p.m. start.
