Gee-Gees Women's Fastball Team Takes 4 of 6 Games

This weekend was full of fastball for the Gee-Gees, playing the
Carleton
Ravens on Friday, the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday and the
Waterloo
Warriors on Sunday.

The first pair of games against Carleton in Manotick was an excellent
show
of great offence fused with great defence, with the Gee-Gees
winning both
with 10-0 and 11-0.. Highlights include back to back no-hitters
from Emily Ernst and
 Jillian Taylor, Vanessa Homiak's in-park homerun and a
stand-up triple by Laura Skiperis.

The Gee-Gees held their free fastball clinic for younger athletes
at
Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville before their games against
the Laurier
Golden Hawks. The games were incredibly tight, with the Gee-Gees
losing by
just one run in both games to the Hawks.  The first game went
to extra innings and saw Laurier take a 6-5 victory.  The second
game was just as close as the Gee-Gees mounted an impressive
comeback to score 2 runs to tie the game in the visitors half
of the 7th inning, only to see Laurier push across the winning
run in the bottom half. 2 very good games between strong teams.The
Gee-Gees will look to reclaim those loses against them at the
National University Championships, held in Waterloo on Thanksgiving
weekend.

On Sunday afternoon, the Gee-Gees pushed hard against the Waterloo
Warriors. Emily Ernst pitched a great first game through the
rain and with
the help of great at bats from hitters one through nine, the
Gee-Gees
defeated the Warriors with a strong 8-1 win. The second game
proved to be
even more exciting, with a homerun from rookie, Jenna Flannigan
and
another great hit from Vanessa Homiak, deep into right field.
Jillian
Taylor held down the fort with her excellent pitching and the
Gee-Gees won
14-0.

The Gee-Gees will travel this weekend to play against McMaster,
York and
Brock.
