Game One – Durham defeated Seneca 4-3 (8 innings)

NORTH YORK, Ont. – The 2009 CAN-AM Classic champions picked up
two road wins over Seneca College on Tuesday night, defeating
the Sting 4-3 and 7-0 in doubleheader action.

Game one was a pitchers duel with seniors Danielle Smith ( Oshawa,
Ont.) and Rebecca Cunningham (Brampton, Ont.) throwing for their
respective teams. Down 2-0 in the top of the sixth inning, Samantha
Roelofsen (Alma, Ont.) and Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) came
up with clutch hits to even up the score for Durham.

After a scoreless seventh inning, the Lords were able to score
two runs in the eighth to take a 4-2 lead. The offensive attack
at the plate was led by Tiana Cosentino (Toronto, Ont.) and Erica
Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.). Smith would close things out in the
bottom of the eighth, allowing only five hits in the game for
her second win of the year.

Cunningham and Smith had excellent outings leading into the game
as Smith pitched a no-hitter in the Lords home opener while the
Seneca ace struck out a record setting 17 batters in a win over
Mohawk.

The Lords carried the momentum into game two as they easily defeated
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
night early.

With the two wins, Durham remains undefeated in conference play
with a 4-0 record. The Lords currently trail the St. Clair Saints
(5-1) by two points in the standings with two games in hand.
The two teams will meet up in Windsor on Saturday, September
26 (11 a.m.) in a rematch of last year’s OCAA Championship final
and with first place on the line.

The Lords next home action will be on Friday, October 2 as Durham
is set to host the Conestoga Condors at Durham Field.
