OSHAWA, Ont. – Durham College claimed gold at the Ontario Colleges
Athletic Association (OCAA) Women’s Fastball Championship on
Saturday afternoon 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 the gold medal game against the two-time defending champion
Saints, the Lords turned to Kristine Miles on the mound. The
Whitby native did not disappoint the hometown faithful as she
pitched the complete game victory, allowing one run on seven
hits, while striking out five St. Clair batters. Miles was named
the championship top pitcher for her gold medal performance.

The Lords bats were red hot on Saturday as they scored ten runs
off of 13 hits. Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park, AB) went 4-for-4
at the plate with three RBI’s, as she was named the player of
the game.

Lords co-captain Shannon Ferguson was 3-for-4 in the finals with
a run scored. Overall, Ferguson was 7-for-9 (.777 average), as
the Brockville native earned championship MVP honours.

Erica and Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) also had multi-hit games
for Durham in the gold medal game as they combined to go 4-for-9
with four runs and three RBI’s.

Coming off a bronze medal performance at the national championship
in Saskatoon, the Lords carried their winning ways into the OCAA
Championship, outscoring their opponents 32-3 enroute to the
gold medal.

Head coach of the Lords Jim Nemish, who picked up his twelfth
OCAA Championship as the Durham Lords head coach, said that his
team worked extremely hard throughout the entire season and really
came together as a team to win the provincial title.

The Lords were perfect in OCAA action throughout the season,
going 13-0 during the regular season and championship.

St. Clair advanced to the gold medal game after defeating the
Mohawk Mountaineers 10-6 earlier in the day. The silver medal
by St. Clair marks their sixth consecutive medal at the OCAA
Women’s Fastball Championship.
