Nova Scotia’s last day at the 2009 Canada Games resulted in
yet another split, defeating Newfoundland 6-5 in the first game
while losing 8-0 to Manitoba in the final contest. Team NS finishes
with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses and will not advance to
the medal round.

Newfoundland gave the blue and white all they could handle in
the early contest. After NS scored one in the top of the 1st,
Newfoundland put up three of their own in the bottom half behind
a Michelle Rideout double a walk by Amber Kennedy and singles
by Laura Prosper and Alicia Poole. Nova Scotia Scored one in
each of the first five innings while Newfoundland scored two
in their half of the fourth to make it a 5-5 tie heading into
the 7th. Laura MacKay doubled to start the 7th, was sacrificed
to 3rd by Ashley Taweel and would score on a wild pitch. Holly
Denny picked up the win in relief while Amy Corbett took the
loss. Kylie Boudreau led the NS offence with 3 singles and a
double.

In the second game, Manitoba pitcher Sarah Shotton allowed only
three hits while striking out 8 over 5 innings to register the
victory. Manitoba broke open a 1-0 game in the 4th inning with
four runs and added three more in the 5th. Holly Denny was charged
with the loss for Nova Scotia. Denny and Laura MacKay had singles
for NS while Amanda Somers had a double. Brittany Bartel, Adrianna
Boychuk and Macey Hickas all had two singles for Manitoba.

Manitoba will play Quebec in the 3rd vs 4th game on Friday while
Ontario & BC will meet in the 1st vs 2nd match up.
