From fastball at pmihrm.com Wed Jan 6 13:04:39 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 10:04:39 -0800 Subject: YUKON GETS 2012 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (Junior Women) Message-ID: <0601106.36278@webbox.com> YUKON GETS 2012 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Unique locale will host top women?s international softball event PLANT CITY, FLORIDA (USA) -- Whitehorse, Yukon, will host the International Softball Federation XIII Women?s World Championship in 2012, it was announced today. ISF President Don Porter said that a solid bid from the host and a successful track record made it the right choice for the marquee fast pitch event. ?Whitehorse will do a terrific job hosting our women?s world championship in 2012,? the ISF president said. ?They proved as much when they organized our junior men?s world championship in 2008. Plus the community?s support for softball and their proven ability as a site for large sporting and cultural events assures us that our teams, the fans, and the media will all have a good experience that summer.? The unique location brings with it over 20 hours of daylight, which allows for softball games ? on unlit fields ? well into the evening hours. The playing facilities in Whitehorse have multiple fields, which will allow the organizers to meet what is generally a ten-day, 60-plus games schedule. ?Softball Yukon and Softball Canada are pleased to again be able to host the world,? said George Arcand, Executive Director of Softball Yukon and the Chair of the Organizing Committee for the 2012 World Championship. ?After hosting a successful and exciting junior men's world championship in 2008, we are honored to host the 2012 women's world championship in Whitehorse. We look forward to working with the ISF to make this an unforgettable experience for our local community, fans from all over the world, and all participating teams.? The event in Whitehorse will come just two years after the XII Women?s World Championship, which happens this June 23-July 2 in Venezuela. As such, it fulfills the implementation of a two-year rotation for ISF world championships instead of every four years. That change was adopted at the ISF Congress this past October. Next year will be the final year of only one world championship (junior women?s, December 6-17, 2011, in Cape Town, South Africa). 2012 will also include the ISF IX Jr. Men?s World Championship (19-and-under) in Parana, Argentina. The women?s world championship in Whitehorse in 2012 is expected to take place in July of that year, with exact dates currently being finalized. The ISF is the world governing body of the sport as recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and SportAccord (formerly the General Association of International Sports Federations). Softball (women's fast pitch) made its Olympic debut at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. There are 128 affiliated countries in the ISF and millions of participants in the sport worldwide.

Details of the CSAP Generating Revenue Workshop are as follows: Date: Saturday, January 30, 2010 Host: Unionville Minor Softball Association Time: 9:00 AM ? 4:00 PM Cost: $10.00 per Participant (Discounted Rate!)

The?Dominican Republic earned their berth in the championship game by defeating NY Gremlins 5-4 but even that was not without controversy. A?6th inning 2-run home run by Sergio LaHoz was protested by NY Gremlins claiming the batter was touched by teammates coming from their first base dugout before the batted ball cleared the outfield fence.? The protest was denied as all-3 umpires agreed the touching occurred after the ball cleared the fence.? The home run moved Dominican Republic from a 1-run deficit into a 1-run lead and eventual final margin. In the other semi final, Italian Athletic Club, defeated Chicago/New York 6-0 but due to flight departure times, had to forfeit the game and leave for the airport. Dominican Republic refused to play the championship game, claiming they should play Italian Athletic Club and if IAC wasn't available, Dominican Republic should win the championship by forfeit. The consensus of the tournament and umpire staffs was that IAC forfeited their 6-0 win and Chicago/New York was the legitimate entrant in the championship game.? Dominican Republic refused to play and walked out of the park during the awards ceremony. The official order of finish is: Champs - Chicago/New York 2nd place - Dominican Republic 3rd place - NY Gremlins and Italian Athletic Club Most Valuable Pitcher - Shaun Winship Most Valuable Player - Jeff Ellsworth Consolation Champion - Nova Scotia Ken ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The 2010 Pee Wee Girls Canadian Fast Pitch Championship will be open to all levels of play (A, B, C, Tier 1, 2 etc.). This will mark the first time a Canadian Championship will be open to all teams from all levels of ability in the same age category. Interested teams are asked to contact their local Provincial/Territorial Offices to register for the event. An online 'intent to register' form is also available on the tournament website, and will be forwarded to the respective Provincial/Territorial Office once completed. The cost to register is $400 plus a $1,000 hotel bond, which will be applied towards the hotel cost. Ground transportation will only be provided to the teams who will be flying to Montreal. These teams will be required to stay at the Wyndham Montreal Airport Dorval, which will be the only hotel from where ground transportation will be provided. Teams who are driving to the tournament will choose from three tournament hotels: the Quality Suites, the Holiday Inn and/or the Comfort Inn. Should a team decide not to stay in any of the above hotels, they will forfeit their $1,000 hotel bond to the host committee. In terms of prizing, a trophy or a plaque will be given to the gold-medal winning team in each division, as well as medals to the first, second and third place teams in each division.

As for the competition format, any team can declare whether it would like to compete in the highest division, the 'Cup Division'. This division will follow traditional Canadian Championship format and guidelines for the playoff round. If a team does not wish to play in the top division, they will play in a seeding round. They will be seeded based on feedback provided by their Provincial/Territorial Softball Association and placed in a pool to determine the division they will ultimately compete in. Wherever possible, teams from the same Province or Territory will be placed in different pools. Once the seeding round is completed, teams will be placed in divisions based on their seeding round record. Once the divisions have been determined, the records of all teams are erased and an elimination tournament is played to determine the division winner. Each team will play a minimum of six games including playoffs. The tournament rules will follow the 2009-2010 Softball Canada Rulebook, with the exception of a few modifications (listed in the link below). The official tournament website can be found at www.quebecnational.com.

Following her participation at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Mackin underwent shoulder surgery in 2009 and returned to NCAA play in 2010, but further complications have led to her decision to retire from the sport. 'It was an incredibly difficult decision as it is very hard to prematurely end my softball career' stated Mackin. 'It is unfortunate that things did not work out the way that I intended, but I will embrace the opportunities that lay ahead of me and be grateful for the experiences that I have shared as a member of Team Canada.' Mackin began her National Team involvement in 2005 as a member of the Elite team, and made the jump to the Senior team the following year, helping Canada capture a silver medal at the Canada Cup and qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games with a fifth place finish at the ISF XI Women's World Championship. In 2007, she won a silver medal at the XV Pan American Games and a gold medal at the XXIV Summer Universiade. She then participated in the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, where Canada finished fourth. 'It saddens me to think that I will no longer be suiting up in a Canadian uniform as this is one of the greatest feelings I will ever experience' added Mackin. 'I am very thankful to Softball Canada for the opportunities they provided me. There is nothing more rewarding than representing your country in a game that you love. I have been a member of the Canadian National Softball Team since the age of 17, and during those years I have been fortunate enough to experience the World University Games, Canada Cup, World Championship, Pan American Games and an Olympics. The experience has been everything that I have ever dreamed it to be, and there is no prouder moment than being able to wear the Canadian jersey on the world stage. I will carry these memories with me for the rest of my life.' Softball Canada would like to thank Robin for her years of commitment to the Women's National Team Program, and wishes her the best of luck in all of her future endeavours. -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada (613) 523-3386 ext. 3105 gleblanc(at)softball.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Mon May 10 14:24:07 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 11:24:07 -0700 Subject: FW: Nicolas Bittor is available Message-ID: <100510130.41047@webbox.com> Nic Bittor would like to come and play this summer for an ISC team.

The top collegiate fastball teams in Ontario will be heading to Oshawa in October as Durham College has been selected to host the 2010 Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) women?s fastball championship. ?We are very excited to be hosting the women?s fastball provincial championship once again,? said Ken Babcock, Durham College athletic director. ?Hosting a championship is always a great opportunity to showcase our campus, our hospitality and the entire Durham Region. We have a great reputation and strong track record in hosting major events at Durham College and the tradition will continue at the 2010 provincials.? The championship will be held at Durham Fields from October 15-16, 2010 and will feature the top four teams in Ontario contending for the provincial crown. The format will be the traditional double knock-out system. This year?s championship will mark Durham?s eighth time hosting the OCAA championship. The college last hosted the event in 2007, where they defeated Mohawk College in the gold medal game to win their 14th overall OCAA women?s fastball title. Durham College has been the premiere program in women?s fastball for the past three decades, having won 27 championship medals at the OCAA Championship (14 gold, 9 silver, 4 bronze), the most of any college in league history.

This award, which is considered the most prestigious honour in Division I women's collegiate softball, is designed to recognize outstanding athletic achievement by female collegiate softball players across the country. In 2009, Canadian pitcher Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) won the award and subsequently led the University of Washington Huskies to the Women's College World Series title. The three finalists for this year's award include a pair of Canadian Senior Women's National Team members, Washington's Danielle Lawrie and Georgia Tech's Jen Yee (North Delta, BC). Joining them among the Top 3 finalists is UCLA's Megan Langenfeld. The winner of the 2010 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year will be named on Tuesday, June 1st at the Opening Ceremonies of the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Lawrie looks to repeat as Player of the Year after winning the award last year, and would be only the second student-athlete in the history of the award to do so. The senior from Langley, British Columbia is a First Team All-Pacific Region, First Team All-Pac-10 and Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year. She was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week a record eight times this season and also earned USA Softball Player of the Week three times (a single-season record) and the NFCA National Player of the Week twice. Lawrie is 38-1 on the season with a 0.94 ERA, 446 strikeouts and just 34 walks in 269.1 innings. She also leads the Huskies in home runs (15), RBI (57) and slugging percentage (.627), all of which are career highs. She holds a nation-best 22 shutouts to break her own single-season school record. Lawrie is 19-2 against ranked teams this year with 234 Ks in 143.1 innings. She has thrown three perfect games this season. Jen Yee makes her first appearance in the Top 3 after being named the 2010 ACC Player of the Year. The senior from Georgia Tech was a First-Team NFCA All-Southeast Region and First-Team All-ACC. She reached base safely at least once in all 62 games this season and leads the nation in batting average (.568), slugging percentage (1.270), on-base percentage (.732), runs scored (93) and walks (88). She is also tied for the lead nationally with 29 home runs. Yee struck out just six times all season and was 21-for-22 in stolen base attempts, good for fourth in the ACC. Her 84 hits and 63 RBI led the league while her 15 doubles ranked third. She was a two-time Louisville Slugger/NFCA National Player of the Week and five-time ACC Player of the Week. Yee was intentionally walked 31 times this year which is an NCAA single-season record. Langenfeld (Bakersfield, California) was named PAC-10 Conference Player of the Year, First-Team NFCA All-West Region and First-Team All-Pac-10. She enters Super Regional play leading the Bruins with a .500 batting average, 49 runs batted in, a 1.037 slugging percentage, 38 walks and a .650 on base percentage. She is also tied for first on her team with 16 home runs and second with 40 runs scored. In the circle, Langenfeld is 10-1 with three saves, a 1.29 earned run average and 56 strikeouts in 87 innings. The senior was named Pac-10 and USA Softball National Player of the Week on April 27 after recording four homers and eight RBI in a three-game sweep at Stanford. Langenfeld has 18 multiple-hit games and 14 multiple-RBI contests on the season. The senior came into the postseason ranked in the Top 20 nationally in six offensive categories. In the circle, Langenfeld was a perfect 6-0 in Pac-10 play with two saves, posting a 1.43 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 44 innings. Among her victories were a pair of wins in the last weekend of the regular season at Arizona.

This DVD is a supplement to the recent launch of Softball Canada's national pitching program, CANpitch, which has put into practice a standardized training program for young pitchers, aged 8-16 across Canada. This program aims to teach fundamental pitching skills while reinforcing proper mechanics through the use of key drills and progressions, and is open to all athletes wishing to learn or improve their pitching skills. The DVD was created to correspond with Softball Canada's certified CANpitch Master and Regional pitching instructors' weekly lesson plans, ensuring that drills are introduced and performed correctly. The DVD outlines for coaches and trainers the CANpitch Program philosophy, describing in detail the program's important elements, such as the backward chaining method. The backward chaining method was chosen by a group of National Team Coaches, former pitchers, and other pitching experts for this program in order to reinforce the body mechanics and sensations at each phase of the pitching motion. By starting at the release and working backwards, CANpitch participants will develop body awareness, understanding what their legs, hips, arms and wrists are doing at each phase in the delivery of a pitch. Breaking the pitching motion down into phases and utilizing the backward chaining method will ensure that the CANpitch Program instills a sense of body and pitch control in young pitchers. The CANpitch DVD focuses on breaking down each of the eighteen drills included in the CANpitch Program curriculum. Each one is introduced and explained, including which pitching skills the drill targets, while the correct form is demonstrated. Every drill is explained in phases for easy instruction and reference, including set up, proper technique, and key teaching points. As such, the DVD will be a staple resource for teams, parents and individuals to continue effective pitching practice outside of the weekly group sessions delivered by trained Softball Canada CANpitch Master and Regional Pitching Instructors. The CANpitch DVD is available for purchase through the Provincial and Territorial Softball Associations for $19.95 plus applicable taxes. For more information about participating in the CANpitch program or hosting a CANpitch clinic, see the CANpitch page on Softball Canada's website, www.softball.ca. Any questions about Softball Canada's CANpitch program can be directed to Angela Murdock, Manager of Domestic Programming, at amurdock(at)softball.ca or 613-523-3386 ext. 3107.

Back in the ?60s I participated in ISC ball. It was a wonderful experience ? I even wrote a book about it. The title was ?Going Around 3rd Base in Life and Headed Home.? In it I posted an essay I read in a book many years ago. It is a gripping story of a father disturbed by many guilt feelings of the lousy job he was doing as a father. Please share it with others ? kinda like a wakeup call. You may want to read my bio at www.trejobarrio.com. A little silly but a lot of humor. I changed the title to ?Barrio Boulevard of Broken Dreams.? HAPPY FATHERS DAY ? ISC PERSONNEL! FATHER FORGETS By Livingston Larned. ?Listen, son: I am saying this, as you lay asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls sticking to your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I came to your bedside. These are things, I was thinking, son: I have been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor. ?At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand called, ?Goodbye, Daddy!? and I frowned, and said in reply, ?Hold your shoulders back!? ?Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive ? and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father! ?Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. ?What is it you want?? I snapped. ?You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs. ?Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding a fault, of reprimanding ? this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years. ?And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed! ?It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: ?He is nothing but a boy ? a little boy!? ?I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother?s arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.?? End of essay. ?God is in my mind. Heaven is in my heart.? Thanks to my immigrant father. I loved him so much. e-mail: franktrejo1257(at)hotmail.com Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Wed Jun 16 12:45:42 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 09:45:42 -0700 Subject: FW: NCAA STANDOUT JOINS DURHAM COLLEGE COACHING STAFF Message-ID: <160610167.35141@webbox.com> NCAA STANDOUT JOINS DURHAM COLLEGE COACHING STAFF Durham Lords Media Release Wednesday, June 16, 2010 NCAA standout joins Durham College coaching staff OSHAWA, Ont. - Durham College women?s fastball head coach Jim Nemish is pleased to announce that former Canisius College women?s fastball pitcher Mallory Aldred is joining the program as a member of the coaching staff. ?We are very excited to welcome Mallory to Durham College,? said Nemish. ?She will be a great asset to our staff focusing on pitching along side coach Swift. Her experience, knowledge of the game and new ideas will be a welcome addition to our team.? Aldred, a Whitby native, attended Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, on an athletic scholarship where she played four seasons for the Griffins from 2006 to 2009. Aldred had a decorated career in the NCAA, achieving several school and Division I records under head coach Mike Rappel. ?Coach Rappel, who is considered one of the best Coaches in the NCAA with over 25 years at Canisius, had nothing but high praise for Mallory,? said Nemish. The Griffins have been the top softball team in the MAAC, winning three consecutive championships from 2007 to 2009. Aldred was a key contributor to all of the championship winning teams as a member of the pitching staff. In 2008, she set the NCAA Division I record for saves in a season with 15. She finished the year with an 8-4 record and with a 1.41 ERA, ranking her first in the MAAC in ERA. She set a program record with 41 appearances in the circle, which also was a conference high. At the conclusion of the season, she was named to the MAAC All-Academic Team. In May, 2008, Aldred was featured in Sports Illustrated?s ?Faces in the Crowd? section for her accomplishments. The following year, she was named the Griffins team captain. In 35 appearances during her senior season, she had a 19-9 record and posted nine shutouts, including a no-hitter. She also led the conference in strikeouts with 180. She is the Canisius all-time leader in career saves with 21, and is only one of three players in NCAA Division I history to have 20-plus career saves. She is ranked sixth at Canisius in career appearances (105) and seventh in career shutouts (10). Playing club fastball with the Scarborough Spirit, Aldred won three Canadian National fastball championships titles. It will be a big season for the Durham College women?s fastball program as the Lords are set to host the 2010 OCAA championship which is scheduled to take place from October 15-16. - 30 - FOR MORE INFORMATION: Scott Dennis Sports Information and Marketing Coordinator Durham College and UOIT Athletics 905.721.2000 Ext. 2784 (P) 905.721.3117 (F) scott.dennis(at)dc-uoit.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Thu Jun 17 16:51:31 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:51:31 -0700 Subject: FW: Play In NZ Message-ID: <170610168.49891@webbox.com> >From: "Richard Clarke" The Giants Softball Club NZ welcome any interest from those wishing to be part of the clubs 2010/2011 Premier Men?s team competing in the Hutt Valley/Intercity competitions.

Pyle worked the first five innings, while Cory Avery worked the final inning in relief. The Silverhawks scored one run in the first, as Jason Obregon led off with a base hit, and came around to score on a RBI single by Ron Brannon. The game remained a pitchers duel between Gervasutti and Pyle until the 5th when Rude Pac scored 3 runs on 4 hits. Jason Obregon broke things open with a bases loaded double, driving in two. Joe Vigil pushed an infield hit in front of the plate for the third run. Bakersfield was unable to muster much offense against Pyle, who mixed his change very effectively, amidst the hard stuff. All outs but one were strikeouts or ground outs.

The award was presented at the national body?s general meetings in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. "We are very proud of our involvement in the community," said Durham College athletic Director Ken Babcock. "This award shows how our student-athletes at Durham College strive for success in the classroom, in their respective sports while making a difference in the community in which they live in." Durham College varsity teams strive to be the best in athletics and academics having established themselves with championship calibre programs and high graduation rates. The teams have also made a strong commitment to the local community through their involvement. The athletic department encourages community initiatives, providing a great experience for the athletes as well as lending a helping hand to the neighbourhood in which they live in. Under the ?Lord?s Care? program, the Oshawa athletic department was involved in a variety of charitable components including the Hoops for Haiti Program, Movember: Fight Against Prostate Cancer, DC Women?s Basketball Toys for Sick Kids fundraiser, Optimist Club Christmas Hamper Drive and Durham College Thinks Pink campaign. On the community service front, student-athletes also participated in the college?s School is Cool Elementary School Program, Going to Gym Classes with the Durham Lords, Durham College Kids Club and Hoops with the Durham Lords/Ontario Shores Mental Health Clinic to highlight some of the initiatives. This marks the first time that a college from Ontario has won the CCAA community service award. ?We are pleased to see such an active involvement in the Oshawa community from the Durham Lords intercollegiate program,? said Blair Webster, OCAA Executive Director. ?Enhancing the experience for our student-athletes is an integral part of the development of our players. It is great to see them collectively giving back to worthy causes and building a strong local connection.? Durham College student-athletes are community leaders, making an impact in the Durham Region. Durham College athletes, coaches and staff believe in; ?Do Something Great.? Everyone involved with the program is passionate about that philosophy, embracing their responsibility as community role models. This is the second time in two years Durham College student-athletes have won a national award, as they received the SIRC/CCAA Academic All Canadian Recognition Award for having the most SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award recipients any institution across the country in 2009. The CCAA Community Service Award is designed to recognize an institution that has developed a successful community relations program.

Canada took an early lead, as Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) drove in Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) to open the scoring. Canada seemed poised to score in the second after a leadoff triple, but was unable to push that runner in to score. 'There is always that stress, you have to try to make good contact until the ball finds a place for us to produce' said Lawrick. In the fourth inning, Canada took advantage of an error, and pinch-runner Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) raced in to score on another hit by Sheena Lawrick, who later scored on a hit by Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) to increase Canada's lead to 3-0. Canada would go on to add two more runs in the fifth, and Jen Yee (North Delta, BC) sealed the victory with a solo homerun in the seventh. The Canadian offence produced five runs (three earned) on eight hits off Cuban starting pitcher Anisley Lopez, who was relieved by Yusmeri Pacheco. Lawrick was 4-for-4 at the plate, while Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) and Jen Salling each had a pair. Yee and Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) each chipped in with a hit as well. Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) turned in a dominant performance in the pitcher's circle by keeping Cuba off balance all night long, ending the night with 13 strikeouts. She fired a seven inning one-hitter, walking two batters. 'We know that when facing a team like Cuba, we are dealing with players of great quality and who are highly competitive, but we expected a positive result because we have a good group and obviously the goal is to reach the Top 3.' stated Team Canada Pitching Coach Rob Guenter (Victoria, BC) following the win. Canada will have a busy day of action on Friday, as they will take on Chinese Taipei at 11:30am EDT before facing Argentina at 7:30pm. Wednesday's scores included Japan overpowering Argentina 13-1, while the host Venezuela team defeated the Dominican Republic by a score of 2-1. On Day 2, China blanked Botswana 12-0 before narrowly losing to the United States 1-0, Great Britain shut out South Africa 3-0, Japan beat Chinese Taipei 5-0, New Zealand took an 8-1 victory over Botswana, Argentina got by South Africa 4-3, Czech Republic took an 8-4 decision over the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands edged Great Britain 5-4 and Venezuela defeated Australia 4-1.

Starting pitcher Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC), who picked up the win versus Cuba last night, gave up a single to left field and a drag bunt single before both runners advanced on a fielder's choice and Taipei pushed their first run across on an infield groundout. Canada finally got on the board in the third inning when Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) doubled and was moved to third by a Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) sacrifice bunt. Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) drove a grounder past first base to score Matthews. In the fourth, after Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) walked, Taipei made a pitching change. Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) promptly deposited an offering deep over the left field fence to put Canada up 3-1. In the fifth inning, Yee hit a shot to straight away centerfield that hit half way up the band stand stage situated in center. Canada went up by four in the top half of the seventh when pinch hitter Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) and Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) walked and Hayward scored on an RBI single to left field by Danielle Lawrie. In Taipei's half of the seventh, after leading off with a single to right field, Lawrie got a ground ball out as Salling made a nice play in the hole at short. After a drag bunt single, Canada got their second out and gave up Taipei's second run on a groundout to Yee at second base. With two outs, Lawrie induced a pop out to Salling to end the game. Danielle Lawrie picked up her second win of the tournament, allowing only five hits. Two came in the first inning and three in the seventh, as she cruised in the middle innings. Lawrie struck out six and walked one. Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) led Canada's ten-hit attack with three singles. Jenn Yee banged out two hits including a towering homerun - her second of the tournament - to centerfield and chipped in with two runs batted in. Kaleigh Rafter blasted a two-run homerun to left field while Jen Salling and Melanie Matthews both hit line drive doubles to right centre. Sheena Lawrick and Lawrie both added singles in the victory. In another early game on Friday, the United States (2-0) defeated New Zealand (1-1) by a score of 12-2 in four innings due to the run-ahead rule.

Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) followed that with an infield single and Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) walked to load up the bases, and both Matthews and Lye crossed the plate on a passed ball and a wild pitch. Canada added to its lead in the third inning, when Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) drove in Jill Russell (London, ON) with a double. The next inning, Jenn Yee blasted a solo homerun - her third in as many games - which was followed by a double to left field by Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB).

After scoring the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fifth, Japan held on for the 2-1 win in a very solid defensive game. The loss was Canada's first of the tournament, and they are now tied for second place in Pool A with the Netherlands with a 4-1 record. Canada will play South Africa (1-4) at 5:30pm EDT on Monday, before closing the preliminary round against the Netherlands on Tuesday. In a well-played game where both teams received quality pitching and made several outstanding defensive plays. Canada had their chances, but could not get a bounce and ended up dropping the hard fought game. The first three innings went scoreless as Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) had the only hit for Canada and Canadian starting pitcher Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) had only given up a double in the third. Defensively, Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) made a great catch at the wall in centerfield as she had to go back to get the ball a foot from the fence to end the first inning. In the top of the fourth, Canada loaded the bases with one out. Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) led off the inning with a single to center and was called out at second on a Lawrick sacrifice attempt. Lawrie was hit by a pitch and replaced by pinch runner Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC). Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) then singled to right, but the hit was too shallow to push Lawrick in to score. With one out, Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) struck out, and Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) struck out on a 3-2 pitch after fouling off five pitches. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth when Japan was able to score the first run of the game. Japan got a leadoff single, a one out walk and with two out, a ground ball hit to Canada's short stop Jen Salling took a bad hop and just missed hitting Salling in the face, bouncing into left field to score the first run. Lawrie then induced a fly out to left to end the inning. Canada answered right back in the top of the fifth. With one out, Melanie Mathews (Surrey, BC) singled with a line drive to left field. Matthews moved to second on a slap out by Caitlin Lever. Jenn Yee stepped up and hit a ground ball past the first baseman into right field and Matthews beat a great throw from right field to tie the game at one. In the bottom of the fifth, Lawrie was able to get the two first outs, but gave up a double and an infield single that Salling was able to keep from getting into the outfield and had no play. With two strikes, Lawrie jammed the Japanese hitter, who managed to get enough of the ball to bloop it over Salling's head into left field. The first Japanese runner scored but centre fielder Caitlin Lever threw out the second runner with a perfect throw to the plate. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) replaced Lawrie and sat Japan down in order in the bottom of the sixth. In the seventh, Matthews hit a ground ball single to right field with two out. Lever ended the game with a comebacker to the Japanese pitcher. Lawrie and Caira combined to give up six hits with one strikeout and one walk. Yee and Mathews each had two hits, while Salling and Lawrick added singles.

Doornberg then scored on a single by Jenn Yee, giving Canada the 6-0 lead after two innings of play. The Netherlands finally got to Canadian starting pitcher Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) in the top half of the fifth, as Solange Starrenburg cracked a solo homerun. However, that was as close as the Netherlands would get, as the loss dropped their record to 4-3, good for fourth place in Pool A. Lanz turned in a solid outing for Canada in the pitcher's circle, allowing one earned run on three hits, and struck out two batters without issuing a walk. Jenn Yee had two singles for Canada, while Matthews, Lawrick, Russell and Pare each added a hit.

Canada, who showed plenty of offence in the round-robin portion of the tournament, was unable to get much going against USA pitcher Monica Abbott, and the American bats took advantage of Canada's pitching for a convincing 16-1 win. As the first place team in Pool B, the United States chose to bat first, and they jumped all over Canadian starting pitcher Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON). The first three American hitters all reached to load the bases, before cleanup hitter Alissa Haber hit a double down the third base line to clear the bases. After Haber came in to score on a single by Ashley Charters to increase the lead to 4-0 with no outs, the red and white made a pitching change to Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) who looked solid in two starts in round-robin play. However, the first batter Lanz faced hit a comebacker that hit the pitcher in the hand, taking her out of the game. Tina Andreana (Oakville, ON) came to the pitcher's circle next, and after giving up a walk to load the bases once again, she forced a fly out to left field and Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) was able to throw out the runner tagging from third at home to get out of the first inning. After holding the Americans hitless in the second, Andreana ran into trouble in the third, walking two of the first three hitters and later allowing a bunt single to load the bases with two outs. Natasha Watley then hit a ground-rule double to the gap in right-center field to bring two runners in to score, increasing the lead to 6-0. After another walk loaded the bases once again, Jessica Mendoza drove a single to right field to plate two more runners. Canada chipped away at the big lead in the bottom of the third by scoring one run. Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) was able to get Canada's first hit of the game, driving a pitch up the middle into centerfield. Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) then moved her into scoring position with a slap out to third, and Melanie Matthews delivered a clutch two-out single to center to bring Ebert in to score. However, the Americans went right back to work in the fourth, as Kaitlin Cochrane ripped a triple down the first base line, and Ashley Charters walked to start the inning. Charters moved up to second by tagging up on fly ball to the catcher behind the plate, and the next hitter grounded a fielder's choice to Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) at second, who made a nice play to cut the runner down at the plate for the second out. Watley then placed a perfect slap to shortstop for an RBI infield single, increasing the lead to 9-1. The United States did not let up in the fifth, as they quickly got two runners on base with singles before Cochran hit an RBI single through the right side of the infield. Charters followed that up with an RBI single of her own to left field, and Jennie Finch blasted a three-run homerun to center. A walk and a double put runners on second and third, and with two outs, Jessica Mendoza drove both of them in to score with a single to center to round out the scoring. Canada was retired in order in the bottom of the frame, with the final score 16-1. With the loss, Canada will look to bounce back as they will play the winner of the game between Australia and the Netherlands (7:30pm EDT) at 3:30pm EDT on Thursday in a must-win situation. Earlier in the day, Japan shut out Venezuela 2-0 to earn a spot in the 1st vs. 2nd playoff game against the United States. With their loss, Venezuela will play the winner of the game between China and Chinese Taipei (5:30pm EDT) on Thursday.

Message-ID: <010710182.59129@webbox.com> Canada defeats Australia after thrilling comeback at World Softball Championship! (Caracas, Venezuela) Team Canada could not get much going through the first six innings as Australian pitcher Justine Smethurst held them to only one hit, but the bats came alive in the bottom of the seventh as the red and white came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Australia 3-2 in a thrilling bottom of the seventh inning comeback. With the win, Canada moves on to face China at 7:30pm EDT tonight, with the winner of that game advancing to the Bronze medal game on Friday. Australia threatened to score in every inning, and wasted no time in opening the scoring in the top of the first. The leadoff hitter reached with a single, and was sacrificed to second and later scored on a double by Stacey Porter for the first run of the game. However, Canadian starting pitcher Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) struck out the next two hitters to close out the inning, leaving a runner in scoring position. In the bottom half of the inning, Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) and Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) both forced two-out walks, but Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) struck out to end the threat. Australia went back to work in the third, as the second batter reached on a shallow fly-ball that Jenn Yee seemed to have control of, but collided with the right fielder and the ball fell to the ground. The next batter hit a perfectly placed slap single to shortstop, and both runners moved up on a ground out. However, Lawrie was able to force a weak ground ball to Yee for the third out. Australia was at it again in the fourth, as the leadoff hitter connected with a double, and advanced to third on a sacrifice. Another double to the right-center field gap pushed the run in to score, increasing Australia's lead to 2-0. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) then replaced Lawrie in the pitcher's circle, and a passed ball allowed the runner on second to move up to third, but Caira forced a groundout to second to freeze the runner at third, and promptly struck out the next hitter to get out of the inning. Caira started the fifth by hitting the leadoff hitter, who was immediately sacrificed to second. A walk put runners on first and second, but the next hitter drove a pitch directly into Lawrick's glove at first for an easy double play. Canada was finally able to put a lot of pressure on Australia with two outs in the sixth, as Yee forced a walk, and Sheena Lawrick followed that up with Canada's first hit of the game with a single to left to push pinch-runner Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) to third. Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) pinch ran for Lawrick at first, and Jen Salling was hit by a pitch to load the bases. However, the next batter struck out and Canada came out of the inning empty-handed. After Australia put a few more runners on base but failed to score in the top half of the seventh, Canada came up for their final at-bat. Veteran catcher Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) got things going by leading off with a single to centerfield, and Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) followed that up with a single up the middle. Corrine Doornberg (Langley, C-B) moved both runners ahead with a sacrifice, setting things up for the top of the order with only one out. Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) hammered a pitch right off the pitcher's knee for a single, allowing Cumpstone to score from third to cut the lead to 2-1. Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) then delivered a clutch line-drive over the left fielder's head to bring pinch-runner Jill Russell in to score from third and Melanie Matthews raced around the bases from first to beat the throw at home to score as Canada eliminated Australia from the tournament. Earlier in the day, China eliminated Venezuela with a 6-1, setting up a meeting with Canada at 7:30pm EDT this evening. Japan and the United States will square off immediately as the winner will advance directly to the Gold medal game, while the losing team will need to play the winner of the Canada-China game on Friday.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Larry Lynch and his hard working Kitchener Fastball Promotions staff for an outstanding 2010 Legends Tournament. The weather held out, crowds were great, and the competition on the field was excellent. We look forward to the 2011 version of the Legends of Fastball Classic. Also a special congratulations to the family of Bob "Bongo" Baird and also to George Ryder and his family for their 2010 inductions as Legends of the game of fastball. These two gentlemen have been fixtures in the game for many years. George is still actively involved and I expect will be for years to come. Tragically, "Bongo" left all of us far too soon, but his spirit was with us in Kitchener this past weekend and his contributions to the game will never be forgotten. Not wanting to upstage my good friend Larry Lynch, I have held off on our Tavistock announcements until the Legends event was complete. Now that the 2010 Legends event is a great fastball memory, its time to move on down the road 20 minutes west to TAVISTOCK, ONTARIO. Presently the field is set and we are thrilled to have the Kitchener Rivershark Twins, Jarvis Travelers, Midland, Mich. Explorers, Owen Sound Selects, St Thomas Union Storm and the Elmira Expos gearing up for a big weekend in our small village. Kitchener and Jarvis are currently mere percentage points apart in the World Rankings and proved at Legends that these two teams will be formidable foes throughout the season. A short staffed Midland team had a bit of an off weekend at Legends and are expected to come back with a vengeance in Tavistock. There is a reason why Midland is the host team for this year's ISC World Tournament and currently ranked #6 in the World. Expect the Explorers to be tough in Tavi. Owen Sound comes in with a great young team that can beat anyone on a given day. Currently ranked 15th in the World, the future is bright for this squad as they are not intimidated going toe to toe with any club team on the planet. St Thomas (#34) has consistently been a force in Ontario and International fastball events. This year's team is playing a lighter schedule throughout the season but nobody can be fooled by that. Tom Edie has a wealth of veteran leaders and fastball stars at his disposal, so expect the St Thomas boys to compete with everyone they meet in Tavistock. The Elmira Expos (#19) may be one of the true underrated teams around. Young, but extremely talented, the Expos are coming off a solid showing at Legends including an extra innings loss to the Rivershark Twins and a Sunday morning victory over the Midland Explorers. Confidence is building with this young squad and I'm sure they will be looking to upset the big boys again come July 16-18. While the teams themselves are the major component of any fastball tournament, the goal for any event hosted in Tavistock in the past has been to encourage community involvement, provide a festive atmosphere and create a place where everyone wants to be on a given weekend. This year's event will be no different. The Tavistock Athletics Bantam Boys Team will be on the grill for the entire weekend firing up your burgers, sausage and DELICIOUS breakfast sandwiches. The Bantam Boys are currently fundraising for their upcoming trip to Sudbury and the Ontario Summer Games. This event will be a big fundraiser for this group so make sure you stop by their booth for a bite!!! Our Tavistock Athletics Junior Mens team will be at your disposal the entire weekend slinging ice cold beverages of the amber variety in our fully licenced beverage tent. Our junior team is in its second consecutive year of operations and working hard to fund raise for future events. Make sure you all stop in for a "Cold" drink and some socializing in the tent!! Speaking of the beer tent, nothing creates atmosphere like a little music. On Friday night (July 16th) we are PLEASED to announce that former 16 year veteran of the Kitchener Hallman Twins Brian "Chubbs" Stere and renowned local musician Cory Gerber will be plugging in for some acoustic entertainment to keep you at the yard and enjoying your evening. If you have never had the pleasure of listening to these two gentlemen sing and pluck the guitars, then Friday night is a must see for you in Tavistock. Music in the tent Saturday and Sunday as well. In fastball presently, it should be the goal of every individual to do what they can to keep the game alive and our youth on the field. With this in mind, Tavistock is proud to announce that at 4:00pm on Saturday afternoon, we will host the North Waterloo League Bantam Boys All Star game on the Main Diamond at the Queens Park. We expect this will be a highlight for these boys to be involved in a Major Mens event and we encourage all of the teams and fans to be there to support these young fastball fanatics. Let's give them a reason to stay in the game. Kitchener and Jarvis will clash immediately following the Bantam All Star game on the main diamond followed by the Midland Explorers and the upstart Elmira Expos to round out the evening. Saturday should be exciting!! In the spirit of team work, the majority of our Tavistock Minor Ball teams and their parents will be working the gates and 50/50 draws throughout the weekend. Dennis Dosman and his professional crew of scorekeepers, game controllers and announcers have agreed to spend the weekend behind the screen keeping you updated throughout all of the games. Timmy Whitelaw has his "Blue Crew" in place. BallparkRadio.com is planning on broadcasting playoff games on Sunday and I still hope to work Kyle and Blair over to get them their for the Kitchener vs Jarvis tilt Saturday and wouldn't it be GREAT if BallparkRadio.com would consider broadcasting the Bantam Boys All Star game Saturday at 4:00pm?? JIm, Blair, Kyle, I know you are out there. What do you think about giving these Bantam Boys a thrill of a lifetime and broadcasting their match for the entire fastball world to hear?? I know you guys are busy but it would be fantastic!! Just say'n. As you can see, the stage is set and the preparations have been made for a tremendous event. Everyone cross their fingers for sunshine and great weather. We are blessed to have two terrific facilities that can accommodate the schedule should we run into any minor weather issues. The majority of the games will be played at the Queens Park (adjacent the Tavistock Arena) address 1 ADAM STREET Tavistock, ON. We will also be playing 1 game Friday, 1 game Saturday and 2 games Sunday at our Optimist Park located on the southwest side of Tavistock on HWY #59. The two parks are a less than a two minute drive apart and we look forward to showcasing our complexes to the fastball community. I suppose that a "few" people out there might also be curious as to the schedule of games for the weekend. Well here is where we are at with our games schedule: GREEN DIVISION --------------------- Kitchener Owen Sound St Thomas WHITE DIVISION --------------------- Jarvis Midland Elmira FRIDAY JULY 16th -------------------------- 7:00pm Kitchener vs St Thomas QUEENS PARK 8:00pm Jarvis vs Elmira Optimist Park 9:00pm Midland vs Owen Sound QUEENS PARK SATURDAY JULY 17 ---------------------------- 10:00am St Thomas vs Owen Sound QUEENS PARK 12:00 noon Jarvis vs Midland QUEENS PARK 2:00pm Kitchener vs Owen Sound QUEENS PARK 2:00pm Elmira vs St Thomas Optimist Park 4:00pm North Waterloo Bantam Boys All Star Game - QUEENS PARK 6:00pm Kitchener vs Jarvis QUEENS PARK 8:00pm Midland vs Elmira QUEENS PARK SUNDAY JULY 18 ------------------------ 10:00am G2 vs W3 10:00am W2 vs G3 12:00 noon G1 vs Winner of W2 / G3 12:00 noon W1 vs Winner of G2 / W3 2:00pm FINALS QUEENS PARK The 10:00am quarter-final games and the 12:00 noon semi-final games will see one game at each park. I have also recently had inquiries about camping at the park for the tournament weekend. Trailers and RV's will be allowed on site for the weekend.. Upon arriving at the gate, you will be escorted to a location in the park for the weekend to ensure that each unit is parked in a strategic location to avoid damage to the park's grass, trees and structures. Areas of the park outside the diamond can become quite wet pending weather conditions so your cooperation in this regard is appreciated. Campfires ARE NOT allowed at this facility. There will be access to 15amp power sources throughout the park and the public washrooms will be open for the entire weekend. There are NO WATER HOOK-UPS available and electrical power is on a B.Y.O.E.C. (Bring Your Own Extension Chords). We will be not charging any fees for the camp sites but we are incurring fees to allow this to happen for the weekend so any donations towards this cost would be greatly appreciated. I would also ask that you email me at "davebailey at baileyconstruction.ca" if you plan on camping for the weekend, so that we can get a rough idea of how many camp sites will be required. I also had an inquiry today from a very good local team regarding entry into the tournament. My response at this point is that we would consider additional teams but only in pairs. "IF" another team expresses interest in still attending this event, such entry would be strongly considered should I be made aware of it no later than Wednesday July 7th. it was always our intention to run 8 teams for this weekend but for various reasons, we presently have 6 quality teams and we are prepared to move forward with the aforementioned 6 teams UNLESS I receive firm commitment from two more teams VERY SOON. For the sake of the game and the event, if your team is interested, contact me immediately. IN KEEPING in tune with the trying economic times, the gate fees for this event will be a TRUE BARGAIN!! Weekend Passes for the ENTIRE event will be sold for $10.00 each. One day passes including Friday night will be sold for $5.00 each. Children 12 and under will be admitted FREE. You just can't find this kind of entertainment anywhere for these prices!!! Tavistock Ontario is located 15 minutes southeast of Stratford, 20 minutes north of Woodstock and 20 minutes west of Kitchener. For a notable point of reference, our village is 3km straight south of highway 7&8 at Shakespeare, Ontario. Shakespeare is located less than 10 minutes due east of Stratford. Highway #59 from Woodstock runs right through Tavistock to meet Highway 7&8 at Shakespeare. If you find the arena, you have found the QUEENS PARK and our friendly staff of volunteers will ensure that you don't get lost in anything but the atmosphere for the remainder of the weekend. SEE YOU ALL IN TAVISTOCK July 16 - 18.

Message-ID: <010710182.81968@webbox.com> Canada defeats China in another late-inning thriller! (Caracas, Venezuela) After an emotional come-from-behind win in the bottom of the seventh earlier in the day against Australia, the Canadian Women's National Softball team made it a perfect Canada Day by scoring a run in the bottom of the second to defeat China 1-0 on Thursday night for yet another emotional win. Canada has now punched its ticket to the Bronze medal game where they will play Japan at 4:30pm EDT on Friday, with the winner of that game going on to face the United States later that night at 7:30pm EDT in the Gold medal game. After both teams were retired in order in the first, Canada came within inches of taking the early lead in the second. Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) led off the bottom of the inning by reaching on an error, and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC). Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) then launched a deep fly ball that would have cleared the centerfield fence, but the outfielder reached over and robbed her of a two-run homerun. Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) then hit a single off the pitcher's glove to push Lawrick to third, but the next hitter struck out as China escaped the inning. Canada kept the pressure on in the third, as Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) drove a pitch off the second baseman's glove to reach on the error, and Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) followed with an infield single to second as well to place runners on first and second with one out. After a fly out by Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC), Lawrick - Canada's hottest hitter - went down on strikes. China threatened with two outs in the top of the fifth as a pinch hitter slapped a perfect bunt to second base to break up Danielle Lawrie's (Langley, BC) perfect game. She then moved up to second on a passed ball, but Lawrie froze the hitter with an inside pitch for a strikeout. In the bottom of the inning, Melanie Matthews forced a one-out walk, followed by a perfect bunt single by Caitlin Lever. However, China retired the next two hitters on a strikeout and a pop up as the game was scoreless through five innings. Canada missed a golden opportunity to score in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Kaleigh Rafter drove a double into the right-center field gap to get into scoring position. Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) pinch ran for Rafter, and Erin Cumpstone tapped a slow roller and was called safe at first, pushing Pare to third in the process. Danielle Lawrie came in to pinch-hit, and grounded out to third, but pushed Cumpstone to second. Canada then attempted a squeeze, but the batter missed the ball and the runner on third was tagged out retreating to third to end the inning. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Caitlin Lever hit a sinking liner that got by a diving left fielder for a double, and Jenn Yee was intentionally walked, placing runners on first and second. After fouling off several pitches, Sheena Lawrick came through with a single past the third baseman into left field, allowing Lever to score from second for Canada's second walk-off win of the day in the bottom of the seventh. Danielle Lawrie was sensational in the pitcher's circle, allowing only two slap hits over seven innings with three strikeouts. She received a lot of support from her defense, including eight ground outs to Jenn Yee at second base. With the win, Canada has guaranteed itself a medal, which would only be its second all-time at the ISF Women's World Championship. The only other medal won by the Canadian Women's National Team at the event was Silver in 1978.

The 14 time OCAA champion Durham College women?s fastball team has accepted an invitation to participate in the 2010 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship that will be taking place from October 7-11 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. ?Being one of only three teams to be invited from all of the University and College teams in Ontario to attend this year?s National Championship is a great honour,? said Lords head coach Jim Nemish. ?After our performance in our first year at the championship (fifth place in 2009), it is a credit to our program?s players, coaches and the college?s support to qualify this year. I know the players are excited as they have been working hard this offseason.? At last year?s national championship, the Lords advanced to the knock-out round of the championship after going 3-0 in the group stage, but were eliminated after two straight losses in the medal round, finishing in fifth place. Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) and Samantha Roelofsen (Alma, Ont.) were named all-stars at the championship. The championship features top team?s from across the country with a two-division round robin format, followed by a double-elimination playoff round. Last year?s champion was McMaster, as the Marauders defeated Western in the gold medal game. It will be a big season for the Lords fastball program as the college is set to host the 2010 Ontario Colleges Athletic Association women?s fastball championship, taking place on campus from the following week (October 15-16, 2010). The Lords are the top team in Ontario collegiate fastball, having won five provincial titles in the last eight years. Overall, the Lords have won 14 Ontario titles and 26 provincial medals since 1981. ?We hope to improve on last year?s finish by bringing home a medal and ultimately challenge for the Championship,? said Nemish. The 2010 version of the Lords is as strong as the team has ever been with plenty of returning players mixed in with some stellar new recruits. Back-to-back OCAA Player of the Year Erin Dewey, along with her sister Erica Dewey will look to lead the Lords charge along with league batting champion Samantha Roelofsen. League top pitchers Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.) and Janna Hagen (Sherwood Park, Alta.) also return to the lineup as they look to shut down their opponent?s bats. Head coach Jim Nemish has been busy this summer, not only recruiting players but coaches as well. NCAA record holder Mallory Aldred joins the Lords all-star coaching staff as a pitching instructor. The Lords training camp will open up at the end of August and begin their season with four games on the road against the three-time National Junior College Champion Monroe Community College of Rochester, NY. The four game series will take place from September 11-12, 2010. - 30 - FOR MORE INFORMATION: Scott Dennis Sports Information and Marketing Coordinator Durham College and UOIT Athletics 905.721.2000 Ext. 2784 (P) 905.721.3117 (F) www.durhamlords.com Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Thu Jul 8 01:23:38 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 22:23:38 -0700 Subject: FW: Media Release - Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship - Day 3 Message-ID: <070710188.80617@webbox.com> Day Three of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship (Team CANADA/Team USA Marquee Game Series Starts Tomorrow, July 8!)

Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) singled to lead off the innings, but was picked off trying to steal second. A few pitches later, Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) launched a solo homerun just inside the right field foul pole to give Canada the early 1-0 lead. However, the United States responded right away, as Alissa Haber, who broke the single-tournament RBI record in Caracas last week, led off the second inning with a double and scored on a single by Megan Langenfeld. Kaitlin Cochran then hit a hard line drive to Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) at first, who made an outstanding play to dive for the bag to retire Langenfeld on the unassisted double play. Lawrie and Team USA pitchers Jordan Taylor and Blaire Luna cruised through the middle innings, but Canada had the best opportunities to break the tie. Canada managed to get two base runners in the fifth but was unable to push them to the plate, and seemed poised to score with the same situation in the seventh but was once again not able to push home the winning run, taking the game to extra innings. With a runner starting on second base due to the international tie-breaker rule, USA was able to sacrifice their runner to third and bring her in to score on a fielder's choice with the throw to the plate just too late to take the 2-1 lead. The Americans were not done there, as the next batter walked, followed by a strikeout, and another walk to load the bases, but Lawrie forced a groundball to get out of the inning. In their half of the eighth, Canada duplicated USA's strategy, as Sheena Lawrick sacrificed Jenn Yee to third. Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) then forced a walk, and Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) was intentionally walked to load the bases. Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) then grounded a ball to shortstop with the only play to first for the out, allowing Yee to score from third to tie the game and force the game into the ninth. In the top of the ninth, USA was once again able to score a run, as a walk and a blocked pitch allowed runners to get to second and third with one out. Jenae Leles grounded out to shortstop to score a run, but Danielle Lawrie struck out the next hitter to limit the damage. In the bottom of the inning, Canada took control of the game as Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) forced a hard-earned walk and Melanie Matthews singled up the middle to load the bases with nobody out. Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) then hit a roller to the pitcher, who forced the runner out at home, then Jenn Yee came up and hit a shallow fly ball just behind shortstop which Lye tagged up on, and the throw was on target but bobbled by the American catcher to tie the game once again at 3-3. Sheena Lawrick then forced a walk before Jen Salling came up and drove a ground ball out of the reach of a diving second baseman to allow Matthews to score for the winning run. Lawrie threw nine solid innings for Canada, allowing three runs (only one earned) on two hits, striking out 10 and walking seven. At the plate, Melanie Matthews led the way with three hits, while Yee, Salling and Lye each added one. The two teams will return to action on Friday night at 7:00pm PDT at Softball City.

The two teams will battle it out for a third time on Saturday night at 7:00pm PDT. With USA designated as the home team for the game, Canada opened the scoring in the top of the second inning. Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC), who produced the winning hit in the bottom of the ninth on Thursday night, launched a leadoff homerun to straightaway centerfield. Later in the inning, Leah Riske (Surrey, BC) hit a single and Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) reached on a fielder's choice as Riske was called safe at second. The runners were advanced to second and third on a sacrifice bunt by Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California), before Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) drove in both runners with a single up the middle, giving Canada an early 3-0 lead. The United States fought back in the bottom of the inning, quickly loading the bases on a single by Kaitlin Cochran and walks by Megan Langenfeld and Jenae Leles with one out, but Canadian starting pitcher Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) notched an important strikeout and deflected a high chopper to shortstop for the groundout after a quick throw to first. Canada added another insurance run in the top of the fifth, as Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) singled and stole second base, and Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) was walked. Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) moved the runners over with a sacrifice bunt, and Jenn Salling forced a walk to load the bases with one out. Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) drove in Lever with a groundout to shortstop, but that was all Canada would get in the inning. Canada would add another run in the top of the seventh on Jen Salling's second leadoff homerun of the game, rounding out the scoring for a 5-0 win.

Both teams will fly to Whitehorse, YK on Monday before playing each other on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Pepsi Softball Centre, which will host the 2012 ISF XIII Women's World Championship. Canada seemed poised to score in the top of the first when Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) doubled and advanced to third on a groundout, but Canada was unable to push her in to score. Team USA got things going in the bottom of the first inning, as Brittany Lastrapes reached on a dropped third strike, advanced to second on a groundout, and scored on a double by Kaitlin Cochran. Megan Langenfeld then hit a single that pushed Cochran in to score, giving the Americans an early 2-0 lead. >From there, starting pitchers Angela Tincher from Team USA and Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) took over. In the top of the fourth, Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) led off with a single, stole second base and advanced to third by tagging up on a deep fly ball to center, but Tincher struck out the next two batters to get out of the inning. That seemed to spark the Americans, as Molly Johnson, Ashley Hansen and Lauren Schutzler all hit one-out singles to load the bases, but only Johnson scored on an RBI groundout, increasing the lead to 3-0. Team Canada got on the board in the top of the sixth, as Jen Salling got things started again with a two-out single and scored on a double by Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) to the left-centerfield gap. Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) followed that up with a single and advanced on a throw to the cutoff to place runners on second and third, but Tincher notched a huge strikeout to keep a two-run lead. Canada threatened once again in the seventh as Caitlin Lever was hit by a pitch and Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) singled with two outs, but Tincher once again shut the offence down by striking out the next hitter to end the game. Canadian starting pitcher Jenna Caira allowed three runs on six hits, striking out three batters over four innings. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) pitched the final two innings, allowing only one walk to go along with two strikeouts. Tincher allowed one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts to earn the complete game win. At the plate, Jenn Yee and Jen Salling led the way for Canada with two hits each, while Caitlin Lever, Kaleigh Rafter and Heather Ebert each hit one. The two teams will return to action on Tuesday at 6:30pm PDT at the Pepsi Softball Centre in Whitehorse, YK.

The two teams will square off one last time on Wednesday night at 6:30pm PDT. The United States opened the scoring in the top of the second, as Ashley Charters and Valerie Arioto started the inning with singles. Charters scored on a single by Shawna Wright, and a double steal set up USA with runners on second and third. Chelsea Bramlett then hit a shallow fly ball that got just over the shortstop to score both runners, giving the Americans a 3-0 lead. Canada answered in the bottom of the third inning on a leadoff homerun by Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York). Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) then walked and Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) later singled to put runners on first and second with one out, but the next two hitters struck out to end the threat. The United States re-established the three-run lead in the top half of the fifth, as Kaitlin Cochran singled and advanced to second on an errant throw to first, and then scored on another bad throw to second base following a base hit by Ashley Charters. Canada responded with another run in the bottom of the sixth, when Jen Salling led off with a double off the wall in right field and scored on a single by Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) through the left side of the infield. Canada managed to get two runners on base, but was unable to bring them in to score. After Team USA added another run on a two-out solo homerun by Valerie Arioto in the top of the seventh, Canada fought back in the bottom of the inning. Jenn Yee got things started with a one-out double off the right field wall and scored on a two-run homerun to centerfield off the bat of Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB), cutting the lead to 5-4. After a strikeout, Kaleigh Rafter forced a two-out walk, but American pitcher Angela Tincher struck out the final batter to end the game. Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) took the loss in the pitchers circle for Canada, allowing five runs (four earned) on 11 hits, striking out eight batters in the full seven innings. American starting pitcher Blaire Luna allowed one run on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts in two innings pitched, while Jordan Taylor earned the win by pitching three and a third innings allowing one run on three hits. Angela Tincher notched the save, allowing two runs on two hits over an inning and two thirds.

After winning the first two games in Surrey, Canada then lost the next three - including the first game in Whitehorse on Tuesday - before evening the series at three wins apiece with tonight's win. Feeding off the momentum from Tuesday night's seventh inning comeback that just fell short, Canada got off to a great start with a hit and two walks in the top of the first inning, but was not able to score. The red and white was then able to put two more runners on in the second, but again could not bring anyone in. However, Canada got on the board in the third inning, as Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) started things off with a double to left-center field. Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) then singled to advance Lever to third, and stole second base. Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) then hit a soft line drive up the middle to bring both runners in to score, advancing to second on a throw to the plate and to third when the ball got by the American catcher. Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) later hit a fly ball to right field to drive in Lawrick, giving Canada a 3-0 lead. Team Canada added another run in the top of the fifth, when Lever got on base once again to start the inning by reaching on a dropped third strike that was thrown away by the catcher. Lever then stole second base, and advanced to third on a single by Lawrick. Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) then hit a deep sacrifice fly to centerfield to push Lever across the plate for Canada's fourth run. The United States got on the board in their half of the fifth. Chelsea Bramlett reached on a walk and got to third after a double by Brittany Lastrapes. Bramlett then scored on a groundout to second base to reduce the lead to 4-1. Canada added its fifth and final run in the top of the sixth inning, when Kaleigh Rafter drove a frozen rope line drive that went over the fence in center field. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) was fantastic in the pitcher's circle for Canada, allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out five batters in three innings. Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) was also very effective in closing out the game, allowing one run on two hits with six strikeouts in four innings of relief. Offensively, Sheena Lawrick paced Canada with three hits and two runs batted in. Caitlin Lever, Jenn Yee, Kaleigh Rafter, Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) and Jill Russell (London, ON) each added a hit. Following a well-deserved few days off, Team Canada will be back in action on Thursday, July 22nd when they will take on the full US National Team at 8:00pm EDT in Oklahoma City. The game will be broadcasted on TSN at midnight EDT later that night.

Canada will be looking to get into the win column later tonight when they will take on Japan at 10:00pm EDT. Canada opened the scoring in the top of the second inning, as Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) led off with a single and was sacrificed to second by Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC). Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) then delivered a double to left center field to push Lawrick in for the first run of the game. The USA Futures responded in the bottom half of the fourth, when Valerie Arioto and Jenae Leles each walked to start the inning and both advanced on a wild pitch. Molly Johnson then singled to score Arioto, and Leles later scored on a single by Katelyn Boyd., giving the USA Futures a 2-1 lead. The seesaw battle continued as Canada put up three more runs in the top of the sixth. Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) hit a one-out single, and after advancing to second on a groundout, scored on a single by Lawrick. Jen Salling then hit a two-run homerun to give Canada a 4-2 lead. However, the USA Futures wasted no time re-taking the lead, scoring three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Valerie Arioto earned a leadoff walk, followed by a single by Leles which pushed Arioto to third. After a stolen base placed runners on second and third, Jessica Purcell-Fitu stepped up and hit a two-run single to centerfield, and later scored on an error. Down by a run in the top of the seventh, Canada came close to tying the game but was not able to extend the game. Jill Russell (London, ON) hit a one-out double to left field and advanced to third on a wild pitch, but was left stranded as the USA Futures took the 5-4 win. Canada used a pitching by committee strategy for the game, as all four pitchers saw action in the pitcher's circle. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) threw the first three innings, allowing only three hits while striking out four batters. Tina Andreana (Oakville, ON) then came in to throw two innings, allowing two runs on two hits with two strikeouts. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) took the loss, allowing three runs on four hits over two thirds of an inning, while Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) came in to strike out the only batter she faced to end the sixth inning. Angela Tincher notched the win for the USA Futures, allowing four runs on eight hits over six innings of work, while Jordan Taylor earned the save by pitching the seventh inning. Sheena Lawrick led Canada at the plate with three hits, while Jill Russell added two. Caitlin Lever, Jen Salling, Erin Cumpstone and Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) each chipped in with a hit. Canada will be back in action later tonight, when they will play Japan at 10:00pm EDT.

The red and white outplayed Japan on both sides of the field, but was not able to capitalize on their chances, allowing Japan to score the only run of the game in the bottom of the eighth. The Japanese defence was at their best, ending the first two innings with double plays. Team Canada's best chance to score was in the top of the third. Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) hit a one-out single to left field and advanced to second on an error, followed by a walk to Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC). After a fielder's choice forced Lye out at third, Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) walked to load the bases, but the next batter flied out to center to end the threat. In the pitcher's circle, Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) did a terrific job to hold the Japanese hitters off the scoreboard. The leadoff hitters were able to reach base in the second, fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but Caira was able to force numerous fielder's choices and managed the game well to keep Japan scoreless through seven innings. With a runner starting on second base due to the international tie-breaker rule in the top of the eighth inning, the Canadian runner advanced to third on a fly out but Canada was unable to bring her in to score. Japan took advantage of having the last at-bat, as Haruma Sakomoto hit a one-out single to right field to give Japan the 1-0 walk off victory. Despite an excellent performance in the pitcher's circle, Jenna Caira took the hard luck loss, allowing one run on only four hits and five walks, striking out seven batters. At the plate, Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) led Canada with a pair of singles, while Lye, Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB), Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) and Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) each chipped in with a hit. Canada will be seeking its first win of the tournament tonight when they will play the USA Futures National Team at 10:00pm EDT.

The win was Team Canada's first at the KFC World Cup of Softball V, as they currently sit in a tie with the Futures for third place with a 1-3 record. The USA Futures opened the scoring in the top of the second inning, when Valerie Arioto walked to lead off the inning and scored on a two-run homerun by Shawna Wright. The following inning, the USA Futures added to that lead, as Lauren Schutzler hit a two-out double down the third base line and scored on a single by Megan Langenfeld, giving the Futures a 3-0 lead. The red, white and blue kept rolling in the fourth, when Shawna Wright led off with a single, and pinch runner Jamia Reid stole second base and advanced to third on a bad throw to second. Molly Johnson then hit an RBI single to right center field to extend the lead to 4-0. Canada finally got things going in the bottom of the sixth inning, when Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) hit a one-out triple down the third baseline, and Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) reached on a drag bunt to the pitcher. Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) then singled up the middle to drive in Matthews for Canada's first run. Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) followed that up with a single of her own to left field to score Lever from second, and Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) hit a single off the pitcher to load the bases. However, a force out at home and a lineout to shortstop stranded all three runners on base. Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) kept things going in the bottom of the seventh inning by forcing a leadoff walk, and Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) reached on an error while attempting to sacrifice Ebert to second. Melanie Matthews then protected the plate with two strikes and ended up forcing a walk, loading the bases with nobody out. Caitlin Lever then did her job, driving a deep fly ball in foul territory to left field for a sacrifice fly to score Ebert from third. Jenn Yee then drove a double to the left-center field gap to score both Pare and Matthews, as Canada came all the way back for a walk off 5-4 win. Canadian starting pitcher Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg MB) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over four innings of work, while Tina Andreana (Oakville, ON) earned the win in relief, allowing only two hits over three innings of work. At the plate, Jen Salling had three singles, while Jenn Yee had a double and a single with three runs batted in. Melanie Matthews added a triple and a single, while Caitlin Lever and Sheena Lawrick each chipped in with a single.

Canada temporarily improved its record to 2-3 with the win, but dropped a 4-0 decision to Japan later in the evening to finish 2-4. As a result, Canada will play in the Bronze medal game at 5:00pm EDT on Monday. Against the United States, Canada scored all of its five runs in the top of the third, before the rain settled in for a lengthy delay in the top of the fifth inning. When the game resumed, the Americans fought back hard in the bottom of the seventh, but came up short. The United States opened the scoring in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Ashley Charters, but Canada responded right away with their big inning. Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) led things off with a single through the left side of the infield, and Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) sacrificed pinch runner Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) to second. Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) then forced a walk before Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) doubled up the middle to bring in two runs. Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) then double to push Matthews in to score, and Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) followed that up with a two-run homerun to center field to give Canada a commanding 5-1 lead. The United States showed life in the bottom of the seventh, scoring a run and loading the bases with two outs, but Canadian pitcher Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) forced a ground ball to end the game. Caira earned the victory in the pitcher's circle, pitching the first four innings and allowing only one run on three hits. Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) came on in relief and allowed one run on five hits with three strikeouts in two and two thirds innings, but Caira re-entered the game to get the final out. Eileen Canney was the losing pitcher for the Americans, allowing all five runs on four hits over two and a third innings. Jennie Finch then came on to pitch four and two third hitless innings of relief, walking four batters and striking out five. Offensively, Melanie Matthews and Jenn Yee each had a hit and two runs batted in, while Caitlin Lever added an RBI double. Erin Cumpstone had the other hit for Canada, as they scored their five runs on only four hits. In the nightcap, Japan scored single runs in the second, third, fourth and sixth innings, and Makiko Fujiwara and Sayuri Yamane combined to allow only four total hits to shut out the Canadian squad 4-0. Melanie Matthews had two singles for Canada, while Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) and Evelyne Pare (Ile-Perrot, QC) had the other hits. Tina Andreana (Oakville, ON) took the loss in the pitcher's circle for Canada, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks in four innings of work. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) pitched the last three innings, allowing one run on three hits. With a 2-4 record, Canada will play in the Bronze medal game later today at 5:00pm EDT. Their opponent will be determined later today, as the United States (4-1) take on the USA Futures NT (2-3) at 1:00pm EDT. A Futures win would force a tie with Japan (3-3) to determine who will face USA in the Gold medal game (9:00pm EDT) and who will play Canada in the Bronze medal game.

OF TALENT TO THE LINEUP Durham Lords Media Release Monday, July 26, 2010 Lord?s fastball team welcomes ?Miles? of talent to the lineup OSHAWA, Ont. ? Head coach of the Durham College women?s fastball program Jim Nemish is pleased to announce that Whitby native and women?s fastball veteran Kristine Miles has committed to attend Durham College this fall. Heading into the season, the expectations for the women?s fastball team are high and the DC coaching staff is looking forward to see what Miles can add to an already strong squad. ?As a coaching staff, we have known Kristine and followed her fastball career for many years,? said Nemish. ?I have had the pleasure of coaching her in Midget for one year. She is a very hard working individual and will give nothing less than 100 per cent.? Miles is a pitcher joining the Lords after four years at Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, where she was awarded an athletic scholarship and obtained her degree in Physical Education. She received the scholar athlete award all four years at the University and was on the SWAC all-academic team in 2008. In the summer, she has played for a number of rep teams including the Whitby Eagles and the Port Perry Angels. Through out her entire softball career, Miles has pitched two perfect games. ?I feel that pitching this season should be the strongest that it has ever been and with attending nationals this fall, that is certainly something to look forward to,? said Nemish. ?In speaking with Kristine, she is looking forward and excited to be coming to Durham this fall.? Pitching coaches Mal Swift and Mallory Aldred should have plenty of talent to work with as the one-two punch of Kayla MacLean and Jana Hagan will be returning to the rotation this season. All three pitchers are able to play a second position which adds tremendous depth to the lineup. Before attending university, Kristine attended Anderson C.V.I in Whitby where she was a member of the softball team and the 2006 MVP. It will be a big season for the program as the Lords are set to host the 2010 OCAA championship which is scheduled to take place from October 15-16 and travel to Saskatchewan for the 2010 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship. - 30 - FOR MORE INFORMATION: Scott Dennis Sports Information and Marketing Coordinator Durham College and UOIT Athletics 905.721.2000 Ext. 2784 (P) 905.721.3117 (F) scott.dennis(at)dc-uoit.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Tue Jul 27 01:10:05 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:10:05 -0700 Subject: FW: Softball Canada Media Release / Communiqué de presse Message-ID: <260710207.79803@webbox.com> KFC World Cup of Softball V - Bronze Medal Game FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 26, 2010 Canada finishes fourth at KFC World Cup of Softball V (Oklahoma City, OK) The Canadian Women's National Team fought hard, but a big seventh inning led the United States Futures National Team to a 9-3 win. The teams were tied 3-3 after six innings before the Futures took advantage of an error and got things rolling to win the Bronze medal at the KFC World Cup of Softball V. It was the last game of the 2010 season for Canada, who started the summer on a high note by winning the Bronze medal at the 2010 ISF XII Women's World Championship in Caracas, Venezuela earlier this month. The USA Futures opened the scoring in the top of the second inning, as they loaded the bases and forced a two-out walk to give them an early 1-0 lead. Canada came back to tie the game in the bottom half of the third, when Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a passed ball and to third on a fielder's choice. She then raced in to score on a wild pitch. Both pitchers held the opposing bat silent until the top of the sixth inning, when Valerie Arioto led off the inning with a solo homerun to give the USA Futures a 2-1 lead. Megan Langenfeld followed that with a double, and pinch runner Jamia Reid later scored on a single by Jenae Leles, forcing Canadian starting pitcher Danielle Lawrie (Langley, BC) out of the game. However, the Canadian bats responded in the bottom half of the inning. Caitlin Lever (Buffalo, New York) and Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) started the inning with singles, and were sacrificed forward by Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB). Jen Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) then hit an RBI groundout to second base, and Yee scored on a passed ball to tie the game. Things then unraveled for Canada in the top of the seventh. The Futures loaded the bases with one out on an error, a walk and an infield single before Jenae Leles singled up the middle to drive in two runs, followed by an RBI single by Rave Chavanne. After a walk loaded the bases again, Canada was able to get the second out on a force out to home, but Brittany Lastrapes was walked to bring a run in, and Molly Johnson hit a two-run single to left to increase the lead to 9-3.Canada was retired in order in the bottom of the seventh to cap off their season. Danielle Lawrie allowed three runs on six hits to go along with six strikeouts in five and a third innings pitched, while Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) took the tough loss by allowing five runs (only one earned) on three hits in one inning. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) notched the two last outs, allowing one unearned run on two hits. At the plate, Canada only managed three hits off American pitcher Jordan Taylor, as Melanie Matthews, Caitlin Lever and Jennifer Yee each had a single. Taylor struck out seven to earn the win in the pitcher's circle.

Canada built a 7-0 second inning advantage and had an 11-0 lead heading in to the bottom of the seventh and gave up six runs in a sloppy inning before they finally got the last out. Canada used five pitchers in the game with Jocelyn Cater (Maple Ridge, BC) starting and picking up the win. Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON), Jacquie Omichinski (Abbbotsford, BC), Shanna Wilson (Peterborough, ON) and Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) followed in the pitcher's circle. The Canadian pitching staff only gave up four hits and struck out 11, allowing three earned runs. Canada scored three runs in the first inning highlighted by Katelyn Bedwell's (Surrey, BC) RBI single after singles by Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) and Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California). Canada added four in the second on two hits, a Gilbert triple and a single by Bedwell. Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) added a single run in the third. After working a walk, she scored on a fielder's choice by Hayward. In the sixth, Corinne Brookhuis (Toronto, ON) singled and scored on a Omichinski double to centre field, who then scored on a Brigitte Aizprua (Terebonne, QC) single. Canada's final run came after an error and singles by Brookhuis and Bedwell in the seventh. In the Colombian seventh, Canada gave up six runs with some sloppy play as they made three errors and gave up three hits but managed to stem the tide as Karissa Hovinga came in to get the final out with a strike out. Bedwell led the way with three hits and two RBI's. Omichinski, Gilbert and Brookhuis had two hits each with singles to Hayward, Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) and Brigitte Aizprua.

Canada had their moments in the game, but the USA hit two homeruns and banged out 12 hits off three Team Canada pitchers to pick up the win. USA scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the second, but Canada responded in the top of the third when Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) singled to centre field and moved to second on an errant throw from the outfield. Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Noble to third, and she scored on a passed ball on a walk to Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas). In the USA half of the third, a Canadian error on a leadoff ground ball set up a three-run inning for the Americans as they doubled and hit their first home run of the game. USA went up 5-1 with another homer in the fourth. Canada then loaded the bases in the fifith when Wideman singled up the middle, Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) reached on an error and Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) walked. A groundout to second ended the threat. Canada got one back when Katelyn Bedwell (Surrey, BC) hit a homerun well over the left field fence to cut the lead to three in the top of the sixth. The USA added three more in the bottom of the sixth as they had five hits in the inning to complete the scoring.

After defeating Brazil 17-0 in an exhibition game, Canada ran into some good pitching and defense and their own defense let them down. Canada outhit Brazil 9-3 and squandered many chances as they left nine runners on base. The first inning was the only inning they did not have a base runner. In the second, Canada threatened as Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) singled to left for the first of her three hits and advanced to third on Erika Polidori's (Brantford, ON) line drive to left. However, Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) grounded out to short to end the inning. In the third, Canada again stranded two base runners. With one out, Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) tripled, Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) drew a walk, and Gilbert was thrown out at home on a drag bunt by Jacqueline Omichinski (Abbotsford, BC). In the bottom of the third, Canada's starting pitcher Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) ran into trouble with two outs as she hit a batter, gave up back-to-back singles, but Erika Polidori threw the lead runner out at the plate for the third out of the inning as catcher Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) made a great play making the tag to end the Brazil threat. In the top of the fourth, Canada again threatened as Szlapetis singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Wideman. Polidori hit a ball off the pitchers glove but pinch runner Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) was cut down trying to advance to third. Noble then singled to left to move Polidori to second but Canada again could not cash in as Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) hit one back to the pitcher to end the inning. With one out in the fifth, Hayward slapped a single and Omichinski drew a walk, but Katelyn Bedwell (White Rock, BC) then drilled a one hopper to the third baseman who stepped on third and threw to first for the double play. In the bottom of the inning, Brazil took advantage of a single and three Canada errors to score three unearned runs off reliever Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) and broke the scoreless tie. Canada got one back in the sixth as Szlapetis led off with a single and moved to third on a single to centre by Wideman, who advanced to second on the throw. Erika Polidori then hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Szlapetis. With one out, Noble popped to third and pinch hitter Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC) grounded out to second. In the seventh, a one-out single by single by Hayward was all that Canada could muster. Karissa Hovinga took the loss as she relieved Jocelyn Cater. The duo gave up three hits and struck out nine. Canada will try to regroup when they take on Argentina at 2:00pm EDT on Sunday. -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada (613) 523-3386 ext. 3105 gleblanc at softball.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Sun Aug 8 01:29:38 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2010 22:29:38 -0700 Subject: FW: Joliet Jackhammers Message-ID: <070810219.80977@webbox.com> Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com >--- Original Message --- >From: "Chad Parker" Hey this is Chad Parker, manager for the Joliet Jackhammers.

Canada found themselves down 2-0 after the top of the first after an error on a lead off bunt, an infield single and a double. The red and white showed some resiliency as they answered right back with two runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) and Jacqueline Omichinski (Abbotsford, BC) both drew walks and with two out, Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) drove a line drive to the gap in left field for a stand up double and drove in Canada's first two runs. In the second inning, Canada got the first two outs but gave up a single then committed their second error on a ground ball to allow Argentina to score their third run. After two walks, Argentina loaded the bases and Canada's starting pitcher Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) was replaced by Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) who promptly stopped the rally with a pop up to short. Canada answered back again in their half of the inning when Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) was safe advancing to second on an error and scored to tie the game when Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) hit a single to centerfield. Canada took the lead in the third as Omichinski led off with a ground-rule double through the fence and moved to third on a Katelyn Bedwell (White Rock, BC) sacrifice bunt and scored when Szlapetis drove another line drive to left field for a sacrifice fly. In the fourth, Becker got in trouble as she loaded the bases with one out but settled down and struck out Argentina's third and fourth hitters to end the threat. Canada finally put the game away when they scored two more runs in the bottom of the sixth when Kristy Noble led off the inning with an inside the park homerun. With one out, Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) singled and Victoria Hayward hit a slap off the third baseman's glove and Gilbert was retired at second. Hayward stole second and scored on Omichinski's second double of the game to put Canada up by three. Becker closed the game as she gave up a leadoff walk and struck out the side to end the game. Becker went five and a third innings and gave up two hits and struck out seven in relief of Hovinga, who went one and two thirds and gave up three hits and three runs with two strikeouts.

Canada now has a 3-1 record, and will play a doubleheader on Thursday against Mexico (noon EDT) and the United States (2:00pm EDT) to end the preliminary round. Against Colombia, Canada banged out 17 hits and pitchers Shanna Wilson (Peterborough, ON) and Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) combined for a four-hitter including 15 strikeouts. Canada opened the scoring with two runs in the first as Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) led the inning off with a triple to left-centre field and scored on a Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) slap single. Jacqueline Omichinski (Abbotsford, BC) sacrificed Hayward to second and Hayward scored on a Katelyn Bedwell (White Rock, BC) single to left field. Canada made it 5-0 in the third. With one out, Bedwell singled and advanced to second on a groundout by Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON). Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) then singled and Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) scored both runners with a double down the left field line. Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) followed with a run-scoring single. With Canada up 5-0, Colombia mounted a rally with three runs in the top of the fourth as they scored two with two singles and a double, and scored their third on a throwing error. Canada responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning as they managed five consecutive hits with two outs. Bedwell singled and scored on a Szlapetis double in the gap, Wideman singled, and Szlapetis scored on Polidori's single to centre. Noble scored two runners with a double off the fence. In the fifth, Canada loaded the bases with singles by Hayward and Omichinski and an intentional walk to Bedwell but could not drive in the winning run to win via the run-rule. Shanna Wilson picked up the win as she went five innings giving up three runs on four hits and striking out 10. Karissa Hovinga finished the game with five strikeouts in two innings of work. Bedwell and Wideman led Canada with three hits each. Four players added two hits as Polidori and Noble had three RBI's each, while Gilbert and Hayward also notched a pair of hits. Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON), Omichinski and Szlapetis each chipped in with a hit. Canada then continued its winning streak with a 12-0 win against Peru. Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) struck out nine and held Peru to just a one hit through four innings. Canada did all of its scoring in the bottom of the first with a string of singles by Jennifer Gilbert, Victoria Hayward, Jacquie Omichinski and Katelyn Bedwell. Four walks and four more singles led to a twelve run first inning and that was all the team needed to complete the game. Gilbert, Hayward, Omichinski and Bedwell led the team offensively with two hits each. -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada (613) 523-3386 ext. 3105 gleblanc at softball.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball ISC World Tournament 2010: http://www.iscfastpitch.com/index.php?page=200 VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Thu Aug 12 22:54:38 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:54:38 -0700 Subject: FW: Softball Canada Media Release / Communiqué de presse Message-ID: <120810224.71677@webbox.com> Canada splits pair of games at Pan American Championship (Bogota, Colombia) The Canadian Junior Women's National Team completed the round-robin portion of the Pan American Championship in Bogota with a record of 4-2 after splitting their two games today. Canada opened with a 6-2 win over Mexico and then lost to the undefeated United States by a 3-0 score. Canada finished third in its pool and will now play Venezuela at 10:00am EDT on Friday and must win two games to qualify for the 2011 ISF Junior Women's World Championships in South Africa. In a must-win game with Mexico, Canada got on the scoreboard first with three runs in the second inning on route to their 6-2 win. Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) picked up the win with relief help from Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska), as the duo combined to allow five hits and strike out four. In the second, Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) led off with a single to center field and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON). Corinne Brookhuis (East York, ON) grounded out to short and Szlapetis scored when Kristy Noble's (Uxbridge, ON) grounder to second was bobbled and Noble was called safe at first.

Hayward was safe on a drag to load the bases. Aizprua then scored on a sacrifice fly from Szlapetis. Canada ended up with nine hits but left ten runners stranded on base. In their contest with the United States, a win could have created a three-way tie for first in the pool with the USA and Brazil. USA scored twice in the first inning and added a single run in the sixth. Shanna Wilson (Peterborough, ON) started in the pitcher's circle and got into trouble in the first but settled down as she went four innings allowing two runs on four hits and striking out two. Karissa Hovinga came on in the fifth and allowed one run on one hit and struck out two. The USA had six hits against Canada's two. Canada had a chance in the third on a double by Brigitte Aizprua and walks to Victoria Hayward and Jacqueline Omichinski, but could not cash in any runs. In the seventh, Natasha Szlapetis walked after fouling off six pitches, Natalie Wideman lined out to left field, Corinne Brookhuis grounded out to short, and Kristy Noble was hit by a pitch after fouling off several pitches to put two runners on. The USA made a pitching change and got the final out on with strikeout. Victoria Hayward had the other Canadian hit in the first inning. Both teams made some nice plays defensively with Canada's second baseman Kristy Noble making several of them and outfielders Hayward, Aizprua and Omichinski all making outstanding catches. -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada (613) 523-3386 ext. 3105 gleblanc at softball.ca Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball ISC World Tournament 2010: http://www.iscfastpitch.com/index.php?page=200 VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Fri Aug 13 14:23:18 2010 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:23:18 -0700 Subject: Canada defeats Venezuela in first playoff game at Pan American Championship Message-ID: <130810225.40997@webbox.com> Junior Women's Pan American Championship III FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 13, 2010 Canada defeats Venezuela in first playoff game at Pan American Championship (Bogota, Colombia) The Canadian Junior Women's National Team took their first step towards qualifying for the 2011 ISF Junior Women's World Championship with a 6-0 shutout of Venezuela in the playoff round of the Pan American Championship in Bogota.

Hovinga got into trouble in the second. With runners on second and third, a ball got by catcher Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) and she was able to retrieve the ball and flip it to Hovinga at home for the second out of the inning. Hovinga then got a pop out to short to end the threat.

With several rain delays, Canada is waiting for the loser of the game between the United States and Puerto Rico and will play for Bronze with the winner moving on to the Gold Medal Game. Canada was able to get an early lead as Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) led off the bottom of the first with a triple to left field and scored on a sacrifice fly by Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California). Canada's starter pitcher Shanna Wilson (Peterborough, ON) retired the side in the first two innings but in the third, she had two outs and one on and Canada committed their first of three errors to put runners on second and third. The next batter singled up the middle to put Brazil up 2-1. Canada responded in the bottom of the inning when Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) drew a leadoff walk and Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) was safe on an error that put runners on first and third. Gilbert followed with a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score Davidson. Wilson gave up a leadoff single in the fourth and Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) came on in relief and got out of a bases loaded jam with a one hopper back to her. Canada put three runs across the plate in the fourth when Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) was safe on an error and Katelyn Bedwell (White Rock, BC) singled to left field to put two runners on. Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) hit a line drive single to right field that got by the Brazilian outfielder and scored pinch runners Logan White (Brantford, ON) and Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) and Wideman ended up on third base. After a walk to Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON), with one-out, Tessa Loewen hit a hot shot past the third baseman to score Wideman. Gilbert then lined out to first and Loewen was double off. Becker seemed to have things in hand but with one out in the sixth, Canada committed two errors in a row to allow Brazil to score their third run. Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) was called upon to relieve Becker and she promptly got two outs to end the inning. In the top of the seventh, Hovinga shut the Brazilians down with two strikeouts and a ground out to confirm at least a Bronze Medal for Canada. The trio of Wilson, Becker and Hovinga gave up four hits and allowed no earned runs, striking out nine. Seven different batters contributed to Canada's seven-hit attack.

The Gold medal game was completed at 3:00am (local time). Canada opened the day with a 5-3 win over Brazil and defeated Puerto Rico 2-1 with some seventh inning heroics to gain at least a Silver medal. Canada advanced to the Gold medal game against the undefeated United States and came up on the short end of a hard fought 3-1 game. Canada also found themselves without the services of one of their left hand pitchers Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) as she came down with flu-like symptoms. Canada advanced to the Gold game with an exciting 2-1 come-from-behind extra inning win over Puerto Rico who had lost to the United States in the winners' game. Karissa Hovinga (La Vista, Nebraska) threw a gem of a game as she allowed only three hits and struck out six. Hovinga had a no-hitter going for four innings but in the top of the fifth she found her team down 1-0 as Puerto Rico used their first two hits to cash in their only run of the night. Canada was down 1-0 going into the bottom of the seventh. Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) led the inning off with a drag bunt and was called out at first on a close play. Jennifer Gilbert (Mckinney, Texas) was safe on an infield slap, Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, California) was also safe on a slap but the ball was thrown past the first baseman up the line and this allowed Gilbert to score all the way from first to tie the game, and Hayward ended up on third base. Puerto Rico intentionally walked Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) and Natasha Szlapetis (Brampton, ON) to load the bases and setup the double play. Pinch hitter Jacqueline Omichinski (Abbotsford, BC) popped out to the catcher and Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) hit a line shot down the first base line that was caught by the Puerto Rican first baseman to end the inning. Puerto Rico started with a runner on second in the eighth due to the international tie-breaker and after a sacrifice bunt, moved the runner to third. The next batter hit a chopper that Canada's short stop Natalie Wideman had to move to her left, field the ball and she turned to throw the Puerto Rican runner out at the plate as Polidori made a nice tag to get the out. Hovinga then got a ground ball to third to end the inning. Pinch runner Logan White (Brantford, ON) started on second for Canada's half of the inning and she moved to third on a passed ball. Puerto Rico intentionally walked Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) and Corinne Brookhuis (East York, ON) to set up the force play but Erika Polidori ended the game with a fly ball to left field that allowed Logan White to score with the winning run. Canada had many chances to take a lead as they left 13 runners on bases. Natalie Wideman led the way with three hits while Shannon Davidson had two hits with singles going to Gilbert and Noble. In the Gold medal game, Canada was defeated by a strong American team who were undefeated by a 3-1 score as the United States outhit Canada 8-7. Canada gave up their first run to the USA in the top of the first as their starter Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) walked the leadoff batter and she later scored on a single with one out. The United States added one more in the third on a back-to-back triple and double to put the USA up 2-0. In the bottom half of the third, Canada loaded the bases as Noble walked, Corrine Brookhuis singled to right and after two strikeouts, Hayward beat out an infield slap to load the bases. Wideman then popped to short to end the inning. In the fourth, Canada put two runners on with one out as Szlapetis drew a walk and Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC) singled off the pitcher's glove. The USA then got the next two outs. The USA extended its lead to three as they added an insurance run after Becker walked the leadoff batter and gave up a single. She was then replaced by Shanna Wilson (Peterborough, ON) who gave up an infield hit to score the run. Canada, who stranded eight runners during the game, got on the board to make the game 3-1 as with one out, Gilbert singled and moved to second on a Hayward slap back to the pitcher. Gilbert scored on a line drive single to right field by Natalie Wideman. Natasha Szlapetis came up represented the tying run and hit a ground ball up the middle that the USA second baseman made a nice play on to end the game. Becker took the loss as she gave up three runs on seven hits and struck out five. Wilson relieved her in the last inning giving up one hit and striking out one. Hayward and Aizprua both had two hits for Canada with singles going to Gilbert, Wideman, Brookhuis. -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada (613) 523-3386 ext. 3105 gleblanc at softball.ca If you do not wish to receive this newsletter please click here to unsubscribe.

Friday morning?s preview features the Durham College women?s fastball team. Coming up next: DC baseball OVERVIEW Jim Nemish and the Durham College women?s fastball program is gearing up for the 2010 season with one thing on their mind: bringing the OCAA gold medal back to Durham College. Fans of fastball in the Durham Region will not have to travel far to watch the eventual champion be crowned as the OCAA championship will be taking place at Durham from October 15-16. A LOOK BACK AT 2009 Durham finished the regular season with an 11-1 regular season record to reclaim the OCAA regular season pennant. Following a fifth place finish at their first trip to the national championship, Durham earned their second consecutive OCAA silver medal at the championship in Hamilton. The Lords also won their second consecutive CAN-AM classic title in 2009. RETURNING VETERANS The Lords lineup features nine returning players from last year?s squad. Top pitchers Kayla MacLean and Janna Hagan will be on the mound, looking to have a repeat performance of their freshmen seasons. 2009 league batting champion Samantha Roelofsen returns for her third season, along with teammates Erin and Erica Dewey, Shannon Ferguson and Jodi Lang. Bailey Corneal and Tiana Cosentino are back for their second year. Erin Dewey enters the 2010 campaign as the back-to-back OCAA player of the year. She is the all-time career batting champion, and looks to stay there with another MVP season. KEY RECRUITS As always, the Lords recruiting class is second to none. Nemish added some depth at the pitchers position as Nicole McCoy, Kristine Miles, Alexandra Mallet and Amanda Gallen join the team. Meagan Bender, Nicole McCoy and Kristina Arboleda are freshmen positional players. COACHES CORNER ?We?re pretty heading into the season,? said head coach Jim Nemish. ?We have a couple of good rookies in camp that have really showed some promise. It is a big year for the program as we host the championship and winning gold is our ultimate goal.?

Series resumes on Sunday Women?s Fastball Exhibition Action Game One: Durham defeated Monroe 5-1 Game Two: Monroe defeated Durham 3-1 ROCHESTER, NY ? The Durham College women?s fastball team opened their 2010 season in Rochester on Saturday with the first two games of a weekend series against the Monroe Tribunes. The games were very entertaining as both teams managed to pick up a win. The series will resume tomorrow at 10 a.m. with another doubleheader. GAME ONE RECAP - Durham defeated Monroe 5-1 Durham bats were hot in game one as the Lords scored a pair of runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings, while getting a single run in the sixth. 2009 OCAA batting champion Samantha Roelofsen picked up where she left off last season recoding a triple and a single while Janna Hagan had two singles of her own. Whitby native Kayla MacLean picked up the win for Durham, pitching five innings and allowing four hits and one run. Freshman Kristine Miles threw two innings of shutout ball, giving up only two Tribune hits. Jodi Lang did an excellent job filling in at the catcher position for Shannon Ferguson, who was unable to make the road-trip. GAME TWO RECAP - Monroe defeated Durham 3-1 Monroe bounced back in the early stages of game two, scoring two runs in the first inning off of Miles who continued to pitch after her appearance in game one. Durham fought back with a run of their own in the fifth inning, but Monroe managed to score another run in the sixth and hold on for the 3-1 win. "We were just not as sharp and selective at the plate in game two leaving seven runners on base,? said Durham head coach Jim Nemish. ?However, Kristine and Kayla kept Monroe from having that big inning with solid pitching and some excellent defence.? Miles would pick up the loss allowing two runs in four innings. MacLean also pitched three innings, allowing one hit and a run. ACTION RESUMES TOMORROW The Lords and Tribunes will return to the diamond on Sunday for another doubleheader to complete the four game series. In 2008, Monroe won the opening weekend series 3-1 while the Lords returned the favour in 2009. Durham?s 2010 home opener will take place on Thursday, September 16 against Seneca College.

The Monroe Tribunes defeated the Durham College women?s fastball team 6-3 on Sunday to claim the 2010 CAN-AM Classic championship. Durham entered the tournament as the two-time defending champions but fell short in the finals, as Monroe won their first title since 2007. After Durham allowed only one run in three games during the round robin, Monroe found a way to crack the Lords defence as they scored six runs in the championship game. Durham had nine hits in the game, but only managed to score three runs as Monroe starting pitcher Emile Rogers struck out six batters, four of which were to end an inning. Rogers was named the tournament top pitcher. Durham?s Janna Hagan went 3-for-4 in the finals, while teammate Erin Dewey went 2-for-4. Monroe?s Angelica Vazino was 3-for-3 with an RBI and run scored. Shortstop Alex Hebert was named championship MVP for her performance throughout the three day tournament. The loss on Sunday was Durham?s only loss at the tournament, as they went 3-0 during the round robin outscoring their opponents 22-1. The Tribunes are always a strong opponent for DC, as they won the CAN-AM Classic title in 2006 & 2007, were finalists in 2008 & 2009 and are three-time National Junior College champions. Mohawk won the consolation championship with a 15-6 win over Seneca. The Lords next home action will be on Tuesday, October 7 as Durham hosts the Conestoga Condors for a doubleheader. Game time at Durham Field is at 6/8 p.m. The top teams in Ontario will be in Oshawa from October 15-16, 2010 as the Lords are set to host the 2010 OCAA championship.

Last weekend was a busy time with 6 games in a row from Friday to Sunday, but that didn?t slow them down. Friday was the ?Support our Troops? night that drew quite a crowd, including coach Jenny Allen?s cousin Brad, an Canadian soldier home from Afghanistan for a few weeks. The GeeGees beat Carleton quickly, showing no mercy with scores of 20-0 in 2 and ? innings and 29-4 in 3 innings respectively for an early night. The next morning was a busy one as the team rose early for the ?Bridge to the Future? softball clinic that brought in youth from all over and past the Ottawa area. A double header against McMaster followed the clinic, and the GeeGees did not disappoint. They took down the Marauder?s in 6 innings with a score of 8-1 and then again in 5 innings 15-5. The next morning they met with Brock and woke them up with a 6-0 win, but Brock battled back and got an early lead in the second game. Despite the efforts of the GeeGees, Brock took the second game with a score of 7-5. This past weekend the Gee Gees traveled to Toronto to take on the University of Toronto Blues and the University of Guelph Gryphons. They got off to a great start taking an early lead against Toronto, scoring multiple runs in the first inning. The Blues weren't able to answer the Gee Gees energy and intensity, and so the Gee Gees took the first game 9-0. The second game however, the Blues found their rhythm and the two teams battled until the very last inning, where the Blues overtook the Gee Gees winning 9-4. Both teams also had the opportunity to meet retired USA pitcher and softball icon Jennie Finch before the game, making it an all around great day for softball. The University of Ottawa then traveled to Guelph on Sunday to take on the Gryphons. Despite a valiant effort by the Gee Gees they unfortunately fell short in both games, losing 5-4 and 6-3. As usual, the Gee Gees gave the University of Guelph a run for their money, playing hard until the very last plays of the last inning. Next weekend the Gee Gees will be traveling to Waterloo to take on The University of Waterloo Warriors and the Sir Wilfred Laurier University Golden Hawks.

The Durham College women?s fastball team won their eighth straight OCAA game on Tuesday night as they defeated Conestoga 8-2 in Kitchener.

The Golden Hawks and Ottawa Gee's both sported pink jersey's on Saturday afternoon for Pink Day in the Park which has become a ritual for Laurier Softball in honour of Breast Cancer victims. The two clubs renewed what has been a storied rivalry in recent years. Both games saw a number of momentum changes. Laurier was down 4-1 midway through the game when the offense came alive to take an 8-4 lead into the seventh inning. Gee Gee's replied with four runs off of a number of Hawks mistakes to take yet another match-up between these teams into extra innings. The Hawks were able to keep Ottawa off the scoreboard in the top of the eighth inning when Cassie Taylor-Baptiste came off the bench to throw for the Hawks and a one out clutch double by Jeannine Chen in the bottom of the eighth won the opener for Laurier. Lisa Andreana went 2-3 at the plate. The second game also saw Ottawa take an early 4-1 lead but the Golden Hawks would not go away thanks in part to Jess O'Quinn who hit 3/4 and tied the game in the sixth inning until a number of uncharacteristic errors allowed Ottawa to score four unearned runs in the sixth inning to take the split in the double header. The Lady Hawks battled with a hungry Carlton Ravens team Sunday afternoon for another double header. The Hawks scored twice in the first and three times in the second inning with Tannys Mckee hitting 3/3 and rode that lead for the 5-0 victory. The Ravens were awakened by the potent Hawks offence in the second game as Laurier hammered out 15 hits and scored 17 times in another shutout victory. Melissa Jeffrey's was a home-run short of hitting for the cycle and also threw a one-hitter with six strikeouts. The Softball Club has elected not to travel to the University of Saskatchewan this weekend to defend their National Title but instead will wrap-up league play on Friday afternoon against the Windsor Lancers and then face arch rival Western Mustangs Saturday morning. These two clubs have developed a great rivalry and established themselves as undoubtedly the top teams in the country for women's softball.

The Saxons went undefeated in pool play, but a 2-1 playoff loss to the University of Regina Cougars forced them to take the long way to the championship, where they had to win back to games today. In the semi final Kelsey Garner pitched a perfect game as the Lady Saxons routed Durham College from Oshawa by a score of 9-0. The final game was a nail biter as the coach Earle Woodside?s crew trailed 1-0 heading into the top of the 6th inning.

Tournament MVP Anne Kelly got the rally going as she singled and scored the tying run. The Cougars could not hold back the Saxon rampage as Karmen Coffey, Casey Simpson and Jesse McNabb followed with big hits to pad the lead. Garner who was pitching back to back games, shut the door on the Cougars from that point, ending the game emphatically with a big strikeout. The final was another installment of the huge rivalry between these two schools, who also had battled it out in the league championship game last weekend, with the same result. Four Lady Saxon players came away with individual honors. They had 3 players named to the tournament All-star Team: Pitcher- Natalie Woodside, 2nd base - Anne Kelly and Right Fielder - Casey Simpson.

Michael Friedrich has just begun the second year of his Bachelor of Science Degree at the University of Alberta. A strong academic student, Michael played for the Leduc 747's of the Capital City Men's League in Alberta, and represented his province as a member of the Viking Reclamation Coyotes at the 2010 Canadian Midget Boys Canadian Championship.

A well-rounded athlete, Friedrich also played hockey and volleyball growing up, and volunteered as an official and scorekeeper for his local high school. His education goal is to apply for medical school following the completion of his Science Degree. The Ethel Boyce Memorial Award will be awarded to Shea Black from Toronto, Ontario and Brent Mills from Napanee, Ontario. Shea Black, from Toronto, Ontario, is a third year Business Administration student at the University of Western Ontario in London. This summer, she was a member of the Whitby Junior Eagles who won a Silver medal at the Provincial Championship, and also played for the UWO Mustangs this fall in the Ontario Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch Association. In addition to playing, Black has also established herself as a coach in Scarborough, starting out as a volunteer Squirt coach in 2006 and now as a select softball coach for the Scarborough Ravens. She has helped her players develop over last few years, culminating with an undefeated 2010 season.

Softball Ontario will be letting the local Softball Associations know when an Active Kit is at an Elementary School in their area. If the teacher has checked the box that they are interested in partnering up with an Association we will help to make that happen! This Partnership Program is an awesome way to have both the local Softball Association and Elementary Schools maximize the benefits of the Active Softball Program and Softball Ontario. By creating a Partnership between the two, Associations will be helping the Elementary School Teachers with the game and proper technique instruction, all while the Associations get to know those Elementary Schools in their community and hope to increase the number of kids interested in the game of Softball!

Message-ID: <081210342.28896@webbox.com> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Carly Laxton (416) 426-7150 claxton at softballontario.ca DATE: December 8, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTBALL ONTARIO SEEKS HOSTS FOR THE CANpitch PROGRAM IN 2011! NORTH YORK, ONTARIO- Softball Ontario is now accepting applications for interested hosts of the new national pitching program CANpitch. Each individual session is designed for six (6) weeks of training with a Regional Pitching Instructor who has been trained by Softball Canada?s Master Pitching Instructors. CANpitch is Softball Canada`s national pitching program created to provide a nationally standardize curriculum based on Softball Canada`s Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) framework for effective teaching at each level. In the past, few Canadian softball players have been exposed to the pitching position which is one reason why the CANpitch Program is being implemented. CANpitch will assist in producing more skilled pitchers in Ontario and increase the level of talent and competition in the younger ages of Softball by identifying key drills that reinforce the proper mechanics and teach the fundamental skills of pitching. The CANpitch Program focuses on players (and coaches/parents) who have little to no pitching experience and provides a vehicle to enhance the development of pitching skills and knowledge across Canada at the grassroots level. In 2010, the CANpitch Program was delivered successfully in Ontario and allowed 208 pitchers, who have learned the basic fundamentals, to say: ?Hey Coach, I can pitch an inning or two!? Why Use the CANpitch Program? The CANpitch program is all about the quality of instruction for all of our participants. Focused on teaching the pitchers the fundamentals at a more personal level, each participant will have more one on one time per hour session than at their local associations open pitching clinics. The ratio of participant to instructor is 6-10:1, which will allow for more assistance and focus with each participant per hour time slot. Softball Ontario has trained Regional Pitching Instructors from all over Ontario who will help to ensure that the program is available to associations spread throughout our province. For six weeks, participants will learn pitching fundamentals to help increase the overall quality of their individual pitching skills and learn from instructors who have been trained to ensure the best. Please note that each Instructor has the ability to evaluate each pitcher during the first training session and if they feel the basic fundamentals are not there and the participant has signed up for a higher level, they will look to bring them back down to the appropriate stage. This allows the participant to begin correctly in the progressive program, which in turn, builds a better foundation for their future pitching skills. CANpitch Training Session Stages FUNdamentals Stage ? 1 hour, 1 x per week (6 weeks total) Provides each participant with the proper instruction on grip, wrist snap, arm rotation, and stride (should be a priority). Learn to Train Stage ? 1 hour, 1 x per week (6 weeks total) Has participants rebuilding their fundamental mechanics and additionally focuses on the coordination of the arms and legs, the power line and throwing strikes (should be a priority). Ideally for ages 8-12 years old. ** Please Note: The CANpitch Program is a progressive curriculum which means that many, if not all, participants who are starting the program for the first time will start at the FUNdamentals Stage. This will allow our nationally trained instructors to better evaluate and service each pitching individually. If the instructor feels that the participant understands and are capable of delivering the fundamentals they will look to further their skills and move them up to the Learn to Train Stage. The CANpitch Program is based on weekly drills and while our Instructors understand that emergencies come up, we expect ALL participants (and parents) to be committed to 6-weeks of training for 1-hour per week. The Program is designed to teach our grassroots level participants the proper techniques and fundamentals of pitching and Softball Ontario wants all our participants to develop a solid foundation ready to pitch during the season.

In the fall of 2010, there were a number of achievements that the Durham College varsity programs had to celebrate. Here is a brief look at some of the highlights: Durham Lords Top 10 Moments in 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6POJzRNArE Men?s & Women?s Golf The Durham College golf team had a phenomenal year on the links. The Lords racked up four medals at the OCAA Championship; the women?s team won the provincial title, while the men?s team took home the silver. Kayleigh Kraemer and Tiffany Albath also took home individual honours, winning gold and silver respectively. Their great success at the OCAA championships led the team to a trip to CCAA National Championship in Kamloops, BC. The Lords did not let up and continued their excellent play on the West coast as the women?s team went on to capture the CCAA National championship, the first in team history. In winning the team championship, Albath and Kraemer were also able to secure individual CCAA medals, Albath taking the silver medal, while Kraemer took home bronze.. The Lords lit up the links prior to the championships, winning 16 medals at three invitational tournaments. Tyson Wetherup and Kayleigh Kraemer won the individual titles at the DC Open. Baseball Durham College participated in their sixth straight CIBA National Baseball Championship in October, where the Lords finished in the final four, falling to eventual national champions McGill University 3-0 in the semi-finals. The trip to nationals came after an exciting undefeated season that saw the Lords dominate the competition enroute to a CIBA Ontario championship. The Lords posted a perfect 16-0 conference record and defeated the Humber Hawks in the CIBA Ontario Championship finals. Tyler Mitchell was honoured following the regular season as he was named the CIBA Ontario top hitter. Mitchell had a .516 batting average, the highest average of any player in the country. Women?s Fastball Durham College claimed gold at the OCAA women?s fastball championship with a 10-1 victory over the St. Clair Saints in the championship game. The gold medal victory marks the Lords 15th provincial title in women?s fastball, the most of any college in the OCAA. In their second appearance at the Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship, Durham earned their first ever national medal, picking up the national bronze. The Lords went undefeated in OCAA league play, while posting an impressive overall record of 20-4. Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) made headlines earning her third straight OCAA Player of the Year award. In three years with the Lords, Dewey?s career average is .557, making her the OCAA?s all-time career batting leader, breaking a record that has stood since 1992. The Lords? Nicole McCoy and Kayla MacLean combined to pitch a no hitter in the final game of the season against Conestoga. Women?s Soccer The Lords had an excellent season finishing with a 5-1-2 regular season record, good for 3rd place in the OCAA east region. The team also had a very impressive stretch of five straight shutouts during the regular season. Fifth year goalkeeper Morgan Kelly was integral to the Lords success, earning six clean sheets throughout the season on her way to OCAA League all-star recognition. Whitby native Jenn Sheehan also had a breakout year in the midfield, racking up six goals and OCAA all-star status. Laura Copeland finished third in league scoring averaging .88 goals per game. Men?s Soccer The men?s soccer team had a competitive year finishing in fourth place in the Central East Region. Jelani DeJonge and Benn VanderEyken both had excellent years on the pitch, earning provincial all-star recognition. The Lords also won their second straight Campus Cup with a 4-0 victory over the UOIT Ridgebacks. Provincially Ranked The spotlight has been shining on the entire Durham Lords varsity program this season as three of four teams (men?s and women?s basketball & women?s volleyball) are currently provincially ranked. Men?s basketball and volleyball is also nationally ranked heading into the new year. With an undefeated record, the Lords men?s volleyball program sits in third spot. The Lords have been on fire this season, with third year players PJ Cornelius and Steve Clarey leading the charge. The Lords are the only undefeated team remaining in the OCAA. The Lords women?s volleyball team has played with a lot of heart this season, going 5-5 so far. Captain Kourtney Cyr had an unbelievable 34 digs in a five set victory over the George Brown Huskies. Kerri Fotherby was two blocks shy of the OCAA record for most blocks in a game as she recorded 11 in the Lords 3-2 win over La Cite. Fotherby and her Lords teammates did tie an OCAA single-game record with a total of 23 blocks in the match. With CCAA National Championship just around the corner, the men?s basketball team continues to impress and currently sits fifth in the OCAA rankings with a record of 7-3, good for second place in the East Region. The team also won their first Dave Stewart tip-off Championship title in 13 years. The women?s basketball is off to a wonderful start for the 2010 season, holding a record of 6-2. The strong start has led the Lords to sixth spot in the current OCAA rankings. Durham also ended an eleven game losing streak against Seneca with a 72-67 victory over the Sting. Sports Illustrated Twin sisters Erica and Erin Dewey of the women?s fastball team certainly made their mark at Durham College in 2010; both were featured in the ?Faces in the Crowd? section of the November 11 issue of Sports Illustrated. The sisters became the second and third Lords to appear in the popular magazine, after pitcher Erin Smith was featured in the October 2004 issue. A Day to Remember October 16th, 2010 was a fantastic day for Durham College varsity sports. In OCAA fastball action, the women?s team hosted the provincial championships, eventually winning the coveted title; their 15th overall. The men?s baseball team also hosted a provincial finals series against the Humber Hawks; the men would win the three game set 2-0 to cap off a perfect season and win the CIBA Ontario Championship. Back on the hard-court, the men?s team found similar success as they routed Fanshawe 82-67 at the CRWC to win their first Dave Stewart Tip-off Championship in 13 years.
