Durham College is set to host the OCAA Women’s Fastball Championship

OSHAWA, Ont. - The top four women’s fastball teams in the Ontario
Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) will be in Oshawa this weekend
as Durham College is set to host the 2010 OCAA Women’s Fastball
Championship at Durham Field from October 15-16, 2010. 

“We are very excited to host such a great event that features
the top fastball teams from across Ontario,” said Durham College
athletic director Ken Babcock.  “With the provincial title up
for grabs, teams will be leaving it all on the field making for
some exciting fastball action over the two days. The event will
be a great opportunity to showcase our campus facilities, hospitality
and the Oshawa community to the rest of the province.”

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the OCAA women’s fastball
championship. Durham College has won the provincial title 14
times, but St. Clair enters the weekend as the two-time defending
champions.

“We know that we will have to be at our best in order to win
the championship,” said Durham College head coach Jim Nemish.
“We have had this weekend marked on our calendar as soon as the
schedule came out. We cannot wait to take to the field on Friday.”

The two-day double knockout championship will highlight the top
four teams in the OCAA battling it out for the provincial title.
The event will kick-off on Thursday, October 14 with the OCAA
Championship awards banquet, taking place at the Holiday Inn
in Oshawa at 7 p.m.

The regular season champions and host college Durham Lords (10-0)
will begin game action on Friday when they play the Mohawk Mountaineers
(2-9) at 11 a.m. Mohawk booked a spot into the championship with
an 11-1 win over Conestoga in the qualifier on Tuesday night.

The second game of the first round will feature the two-time
defending OCAA champion St. Clair Saints (7-2) against the Seneca
Sting (6-6) at 1 p.m. The teams finished second and third respectively
