Erin Durant honoured at Ottawa Sports Awards

Congratulations to Erin Durant, being honoured tonight at the Ottawa Sports Awards for her 2016 accomplishments in softball.

In additional to her on-field abilities (see below), Erin is a big online and in-person supporter of softball in the area, for both women's and men's, especially the Greater Ottawa Fastball League where she can be seen at games cheering on her husband Brad Pender. Not just a fan of the GOFL, Erin also suited up for a GOFL regular season game and is to date the only female player ever to participate in the league.

Congrats Erin!

SOFTBALL – ERIN DURANT:

Erin played for the Bytown Belles this summer, a team that went on to win a silver medal at the senior women’s provincials. When her team decided not to compete in the nationals, she was picked up by the Whitby Eagles to play at the tournament in PEI. Her great fielding and hitting skills spurred her on to be selected as an All-Canadian outfielder. The former University of Ottawa Gee-Gees player helped coach her old team during the fall months and also won a local league title. This Prescott girl now lives in Ottawa where she works as a lawyer.
