Windsor, ON – The St. Clair College Women's Softball team earned a pair of regular season opening day wins at the SportsPark diamond Saturday afternoon to begin their 2024 OCAA campaign. The Saints topped Sheridan College (Brampton) by a score of 12-3 and then finished off with a mercy shortened 11-1 win over Mohawk College (Hamilton).
St. Clair pounded 14 hits in the morning victory led by 2nd year third baseman Reese Grondin (LaSalle, ON/St. Thomas of Villanova) who had a double and a triple that drove in four runs before scoring twice herself. Rookie Danna Juarez (Airdrie, AB) took the win on the pitching strip working four innings while only surrendering three hits and a run to go with four strikeouts but also had a pair of singles that produced two RBI.
Grondin was even more impressive in the afternoon win over Mohawk going 4-for-4 including a game ending 2-run homer in the 5th inning that secured the mercy differential. Juarez picked up her 2nd win of the season in three innings of work giving up just two hits and a run.
St. Clair will finish a weekend homestand on Sunday with single games against Humber College (Etobicoke) and Fanshawe College (London).
