U Ottawa women's fastpitch, week one
from Scott Searle
The UOttawa Women's Gee-Gees opened their season at home against defending Ontario Bronze medallists Windsor Lancers and Ontario Champions UWO Mustangs. The team is very grateful for the support from the GOFL and the Quyon Flyers for allowing them to piggyback on the Showdown weekend.
Catch the Gee-Gees this weekend in Orleans at Pierre Rocque Park. They play a double-header vs Carleton at 7 and 9 Friday night, a double-header against the Laurier Golden-Hawks at 2 and 4 on Saturday and finally a double-header against the Waterloo Warriors at 12 and 2 on Sunday.
The team will also host a free clinic for minor athletes from 10-12 on Saturday morning at Pierre Rocque Park.

Game 1: Ottawa 4 vs. Windsor 3 (Quyon)
The University of Ottawa had a very promising start to their season this past weekend. Starting pitcher Jean Cardona threw an impressive first half of the game for the GeeGees and with the help of some outstanding defensive plays, highlighted by a diving catch in left field by Jacqui Timperio, Ottawa held the lead against Windsor for the majority of the game. Michelle Miller came in for relief in the 5th inning and kept the lead until later in the game when Windsor came ahead by a run. This did not discourage the GeeGees as in the bottom of the 7th inning with runners on, Taylor Rogalsky came up with a game-winning hit to put the GeeGees ahead of Windsor for the win.
Game 2: Ottawa 2 vs. Windsor 9 (Quyon)
The second game of the day was started off with a bang as Grace Longergan homered in the top of the first to put Ottawa on top early. The game saw a great showing for starting pitcher Michelle Miller until the middle innings where Windsor seemed to find their hitting groove and unfortunately the game was called early at a score of 9-2 for Windsor.
September 11th
Game 1: Ottawa 2 vs. Western 9 (Orleans)
The first of the double-header against Western on Sunday showed a strong debut from veteran pitcher Jill Taylor who kept the Mustangs at bay until the middle innings where their strong hits began to find gaps in the GeeGees defence. This paired with some unfortunate fielding turns on the GeeGees lead to the game being called early, with Western taking the win.
Game 2: Ottawa 3 vs. Western 9 (Orleans)
Jean Cardona visited the mound for the second time this past weekend and also for the second time kept a close game going against the opposing team. Ottawa also seemed to find their bats a bit better in the second game against Western and both teams played fairly evenly until Western began to pull away towards the end of the game as their hits seemed to have eyes right into the gaps in Ottawa’s defence. Unfortunately the GeeGees were not able to recover soon enough to defeat Western and the win went to Western once again.
Although the GeeGees went 1 and 3 this weekend all games showed promise and the outlook on the season seems to be a positive one!
