WINDSOR, Ont. – The Durham College women's softball team was unable to earn a weekend split on the road as the St. Clair Saints held on for a pair of victories on Sunday.
Although the Lords still have games in hand, the Saints have pulled ahead for top spot in the OCAA with a 10-2 record. One of those two losses came from Durham College last weekend in their first doubleheader in Oshawa.
To open Sunday's battle,
Ashley Black (Waterloo, Ont.) lost the 2-1 pitcher's duel to Olivia Elliott.
Both team's offence came alive in the second game, but it was a four-run third and three-run fifth innings that played the part in an 8-5 victory for the St. Clair Saints.
Emily Glendinning (Plattsville, Ont.) finished the week 2-1 after taking the loss to end the week for Durham.
Next weekend the team splits their time between Kitchener and Oshawa as they face the Conestoga Condors before hosting the Mohawk Mountaineers on Sunday.
