Team Nova Scotia finds itself with a record of 1-2 after the first two days of the 2009 Canada Games currently being held in Prince Edward Island. Sundayâs opener in Summerside versus Alberta was a thriller for the fans with Alberta coming out on the top end of a 1-0 game despite being out hit 6-2. NS was unable to take advantage of placing runner in scoring position as Alberta pitcher Camille Czarnecki was able to get the key outs when she needed them. Starter Lisa Green was outstanding on the mound for NS, allowing just two singles over 5 innings. The Albertans scored the lone run in the bottom of the 6th inning off reliever Holly Denny. Kaitlyn Dougherty was able to score following a lead off walk & two passed balls, scoring on a ground out. Lyndsay Oakes and Lyndsey LeBlanc each had two hits for NS while Chelsea Walley had both Alberta hits. Mondayâs action saw the blue and white dig a deep hole in Kensington against a powerful squad from Ontario, committing 5 errors in the game and giving up nine runs in the opening inning en route to a 10-0 5 inning defeat. Second baseman Jill Russell led a balanced Ontario attack with a double, single and 3 RBIs. Laura MacIntosh also had two hits. Laura MacKay had the lone hit off Ontario pitcher Tina Andrenea who struck out 12 and walked 2 in gaining the victory. One bright spot for Nova Scotia was the effort from Katelyn Munro in relief of starter Meghan Brown. Munro allowed only 1 run in her 4 innings of work. Team NS finished the day with a tough 4-3 victory over a scrappy Jeff Ellsworth coached PEI squad in a contest that was played in Alberton. PEI took a 2-1 lead into the 5th when Nova Scotia scored 3 runs, highlighted by a Lisa White double that scored Lyndsay Oakes and Lyndsey LeBlanc. Alicia MacKinnon would pinch run for White and later score on a passed ball for the 4th run. Holly Denny picked up the win in relief of Laura MacKay with Lisa Green pitching a perfect 7th for the save. White led NS with a single in addition to the RBI double while Lyndsey LeBlanc and Ashley Taweel chipped in with singles. Heidi McRae, Janel Richard, Kayla Hackett and Ashley Praught had the hits for PEI. Tuesdayâs schedule sees NS face New Brunswick at Noon and BC at 8 PM. Both contests are in Summerside.
