Durham Lords Media Release Monday, October 11, 2010 Durham College wins bronze at 2010 national fastball championship
2010 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship Bronze Medal Game Saskatchewan defeated Durham 9-0 Box Score: http://www.2010collegiatefastballchampionships.com/upload/files/scores/16.htm Championship All-Stars (Durham) Erica Dewey Centre Field Tiana Cosentino 3B SASKATOON The Durham College womens fastball team had a podium finish at the 2010 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship in Saskatoon this weekend as they won the bronze medal. Durham ran into a masterful pitching performance in the bronze medal game as Saskatchewans Kelsey Garner retired all 15 DC batters she faced, pitching a perfect game to advance to the gold medal finals. Durham would finish the championship with a 4-2 overall record, claiming their first medal at a national championship. Even though the loss was disappointing as we were so close to the gold medal game, we are very proud of our team on their play, sportsmanship and determination, said Durham head coach Jim Nemish. To come home with a bronze medal in our second national championship appearance is a tremendous accomplishment. The facilities, the host and even the weather was just first class all the way. Durham's Erica Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) and Tiana Cosentino (Toronto, Ont.) earned national recognition being named to the championship all-star team at their respective positions. Cosentino showed no signs of slowing down after coming off the DL, as she finished the championship with a .571 batting average, third highest of any player. In the all Saskatchewan gold medal game, Garner would pitch another gem as the Huskies defeated the University Regina 5-1 to claim the national championship. This years third place finish is the Lords best result at the national championship, as they placed fifth in Kitchener last year. The Lords will now have their sights set on the OCAA provincial championship, as they host the finals at Durham College from October 15-16, 2010. 2010 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship Recap Round Robin Game One Durham defeated Grant MacEwan 13-4 Game Two Regina defeated Durham 4-2 Game Theee Durham defeated Grant MacEwan 8-5 Game Four Durham defeated Regina 6-4 Elimination Round Durham defeated St. Clair 4-0 Saskatchewan defeated Durham 9-0 Championship All-Stars Erica Dewey Centre Field Tiana Cosentino 3B Championship Website: http://www.2010collegiatefastballchampionships.com/ A QUICK LOOK AT THE DURHAM LORDS Overall Record: 17-4 Conference Record: 10-0 OCAA Womens Fastball Championship October 15-16, 2010 Hosted by Durham College - 30 - FOR MORE INFORMATION: Scott Dennis Sports Information and Marketing Coordinator Durham College and UOIT Athletics 905.721.2000 Ext. 2784 (P) 905.721.3117 (F) Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastb...@pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com
