WOMENS FASTBALL GEE GEES OPEN SEASON ON A HIGH NOTE
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
 
OTTAWA, ON September 19, 2009.

 

The University of Ottawa women’s fastball team opened their
season on Saturday September 19th against the University of Windsor
Lancers taking both games of a double header.

 

The opening match, a 10-7 win, was a see-saw battle as the lead
changed hands several times before starting pitcher Emily ERNST
seized control of the game.  ERNST held off a determined Lancer
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.

 

In the rubber match, the Gee Gees came out of the gate firing
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
2 runs scored and a stolen base.

 

The Gee Gees will take on the University of Western in a double
header on Sunday September 20, 2009 at Pierre Rocque park in
Orleans (game times 12:00noon and 2:00pm).   This game will feature
last year’s two top teams from the Ontario Intercollegiate
Women’s Fastpitch Association (OIWFA).
