Ottawa U Women's Fastpitch report

Saturday Sept 19: Ottawa U defeats U of Windsor in both games of a doubleheader
The University of Ottawa women’s fastball team opened their season on Saturday September 19th against the University of Windsor Lancers taking both games of a double header.
The opening match, a 10-7 win, was a see-saw battle as the lead changed hands several times before starting pitcher Emily ERNST seized control of the game. ERNST held off a determined Lancer team and threw a total of 6 innings before handing the ball over to closer Jill TAYLOR. The Gee Gees seized control in the 5th inning taking advantage of clutch hitting from rookie third basemen, Stephanie SAMMS.
In the rubber match, the Gee Gees came out of the gate firing on all cylinders eventually invoking the mercy rule by defeating the Windsor Lancers 7-0 over 5 innings. Powered by the strong pitching of 2008 Gee Gee MVP Jill TAYLOR (3 hits over 5 innings) and the hard hitting of rookie Jenna FLANIGAN (2 for 4, with 2 runs scored and a stolen base.
Saturday Sept 20: Ottawa U drops both games against UWO
The University of Ottawa women’s fastball team opened their season this past weekend with a 2-2 record. Saturday saw the Gee Gees best the Windsor Lancers by taking two games. While the weather was favourable, the softball gods weren’t smiling on the Gee Gees Sunday as they lost both games to their arch rivals the University of Western Mustangs, 8-1 and 10-8.
The Gee Gees were slow out of the gate in a 8-1 loss to the Mustangs in game #1. They rebounded with a solid effort in game #2. Despite opening with a quick 3 runs in the first inning, the Gee Gees couldn’t hold off the defending champs. Despite strong performances from veterans Vanessa HOMIAK (3 for 4 with a HR, 2 singles, 3 runs scored) and 7 solid innings from pitcher Jill TAYLOR (7 IP, 3 earned runs, 4 strikeouts) the Gee Gees just couldn’t muster up enough runs to split the doubleheader.
The Gee Gees and Mustangs faced one another in the 2008 Ontario Intercollegiate Women’s Fastpitch Championship game and are among the early favourites to meet again in the 2009 Ontario championships.
The Gee Gees next game is scheduled for September 25, 2009 vs. crosstown rivals the Carleton Ravens. Time and location yet to be determined.
