Gee-Gees Women's Fastball Team Takes 4 of 6 Games
from Scott Searle
This weekend was full of fastball for the Gee-Gees, playing the Carleton Ravens on Friday, the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday and the Waterloo Warriors on Sunday.
The first pair of games against Carleton in Manotick was an excellent showof great offence fused with great defence, with the Gee-Gees winning bothwith 10-0 and 11-0. Highlights include back to back no-hitters from Emily Ernst and Jillian Taylor, Vanessa Homiak's in-park homerun and astand-up triple by Laura Skiperis.
The Gee-Gees held their free fastball clinic for younger athletes at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville before their games against the Laurier Golden Hawks. The games were incredibly tight, with the Gee-Gees losing by just one run in both games to the Hawks. The first game went to extra innings and saw Laurier take a 6-5 victory. The second game was just as close as the Gee-Gees mounted an impressive comeback to score 2 runs to tie the game in the visitors half of the 7th inning, only to see Laurier push across the winning run in the bottom half. Two very good games between strong teams. The Gee-Gees will look to reclaim those loses against them at the National University Championships, held in Waterloo on Thanksgiving weekend.
On Sunday afternoon, the Gee-Gees pushed hard against the Waterloo Warriors. Emily Ernst pitched a great first game through the rain and with the help of great at bats from hitters one through nine, the Gee-Gees defeated the Warriors with a strong 8-1 win. The second game proved to be even more exciting, with a homerun from rookie, Jenna Flannigan and another great hit from Vanessa Homiak, deep into right field. Jillian Taylor held down the fort with her excellent pitching and the Gee-Gees won 14-0.
The Gee-Gees will travel this weekend to play against McMaster, York and Brock.
