Durham picks up a sweep over St. Clair in the battle for first
place

Women’s Fastball
Game One: Durham defeated St. Clair 5-3
Game Two: Durham defeated St. Clair 1-0

OSHAWA, Ont. – The Durham Lords women’s fastball team needed
a sweep over St. Clair to have a shot at winning the OCAA regular
season title. On Saturday afternoon, the Lords did just that
as they defeated the Saints in both games of their rainy doubleheader
on Minor Fastball day at the ballpark.

With the two wins, the Lords improve to 7-1 in conference play
while the Saints fall to 9-3. The Saints have wrapped up their
regular season while the Lords need to win two of their final
four games to clinch their 12th regular season title in 13 years.

On Saturday, the Lords found themselves trailing 3-1 in the late
innings of the game, but used a four run sixth inning to comeback
and shock the Saints, picking up the “w” in game one. Lords pitcher
Kayla MacLean would pick up the win.

Game two was just as tight as it was a pitchers duel between
Janna Hagan and Samantha Newton. Although the Lords only managed
three hits in the game, they would come out on top with a 1-0
win. The only run would come on a bases loaded, one out walk
midway through the game.

Hagan would pick up the complete game shutout against the rival
Saints, increasing her shutout streak to 11 innings in the regular
season.

The Lords will now play on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. against
Conestoga College at Durham Field. The game against the Condors
was originally scheduled for Friday but was rained out.
