TECUMSEH, Ont. - Although the first three games of the Durham College baseball team's opening weekend did not go as planned, the Lords finished on a high note with a 6-1 victory over the Fanshawe Falcons.

The Lords will enter home play with a 1-3 conference record after opening up the season with back-to-back losses to the defending OCAA champion St. Clair Saints, followed up with a 12-5 loss to Fanshawe. Durham's opener is scheduled for Wednesday night when they host the Humber Hawks, who were rained out against George Brown on Saturday.

GAME ONE - St. Clair defeated Durham 8-2

Two bad innings cost the Lords their opening game against St. Clair on Saturday, as the Saints put four runs on the board in the fifth and two more in the sixth to go on and win by a final score of 8-2.

The Lords got out to an early lead scoring a run in the first inning, but could not find a way to stop the Saints' bats from coming alive in the later innings.

Durham starting pitcher Dakota Parsons (Pickering, Ont.) suffered the loss as he pitched into the fifth inning allowing five earned runs on eight hits while striking out four.

The Lords defence struggled as much as the offence did as they put up five errors while matching the same amount of hits. Ben deBoer (Kendal, Ont.) and Aaron McQuillen (Ajax, Ont.) scored the two lone runs for Durham.
