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
