Durham College women’s fastball open up Nationals with two shutout
wins

2009 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship
Game One – Durham defeated McMaster 3-0
Game Two – Durham defeated Ottawa 7-0

KITCHENER, Ont. – The Durham College women’s fastball team opened
up round robin play at the 2009 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's
Fastpitch National Championship with two wins on Saturday. The
Lords defeated McMaster University 3-0 in their opening match
of the championship and then went on to defeat the University
of Ottawa 7-0 to finish the day at 2-0.

Durham will now meet up with the University of Saskatchewan at
9 a.m. on Sunday morning for first place in pool B. Saskatchewan
also went undefeated in day one action beating Regina 8-4 and
Ottawa 9-1.

”Our defence was the key to victory in both games,” said Durham
College head coach Jim Nemish. “We are hoping to continue our
strong play heading into our game against Saskatchewan.”

In game one against McMaster, the Lords defence had an outstanding
game shutting down the Marauders bats. Kayla MacLean (Whitby,
Ont.) pitched a complete game one hitter, striking out eight
McMaster hitters. The Lords offensive output would all come in
the fourth inning, highlighted by a two-run home run by Erin
Dewey.

In their second game of the day, the Lords once again used great
defence to shutout their opponent defeated the Ottawa Gee-Gees
7-0. The garnet and grey had a good opportunity to open up scoring
with the bases loaded in the second inning, but the Lords defence
managed to prevent the Ottawa rally to keep the game tied at
0-0. In the home half of the inning, Durham would score four
runs to break the goose egg, and follow that up with two runs
in the third and one in the fourth. Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park,
Albt.) had a great game on the mound and at bat pitching a three-hitter
while going 3-for-3 with two RBI’s.
