College, clinching aspot in the gold medal game.

“The team played great today,” said Durham College women’sfastball

have to keep it up heading into tomorrow’s action.”

For Nemish and the Lords, it will mark the team’s 13th consecutive
tripto the provincial title game, earning eight titles over that
span.

The Lords started out great in the opening game of the championship
defeatingConestoga 10-0 in four innings. Durham put up five runs
in the first followedby four in the third to take a commanding
lead in the game. OCAA top pitcherKayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.)
pitched all four innings for Durham, allowing twohits while striking
out six. Top hitters included Samantha Roelofsen (Alma,Ont.)
who went 2-for-3 with two RBI's, Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.)
who was2-for-3 and Janna Hagen (Sherwood Park, Albt.) who was
2-for-3 with two doublesand three RBI's.

Against their rival St. Clair College, Durham stepped up their
game as theyshutout the Saints 6-0. Hagan pitched the complete
game for Durham shutting theSaints offence down holding them
to just two hits. Hagan also had a fine day atthe plate with
two triples and two RBI’s.

Roelofsen got the Lords offence started with a first inning home
run. VeteranCarolyn Moore (Oshawa, Ont.) picked up two RBI’s
