-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nova Scotia split another pair of games at the 2009 Canada Games being held in Prince Edward Island, losing 7-1 to Quebec and defeating Saskatchewan 2-0. In the opener held at Evangeline Field, Quebec opened up a quick 4-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning, knocking out 4 hits and taking advantage of a couple of NS errors. Nova Scotia had many chances to get back in the contest but leaving runners on base was once again the story for NS. Nova Scotia out hit Quebec 10-6 but could manage just the one run, stranding 12 runners during the course of the game. Trisha Bouchard led the Quebec attack with a double and two singles in three trips to the plate. Laura MacKay was the top hitter for NS with three singles. Alyssa MacKinnon also reached base three times with a single a walk & was hit by a pitch. The lone NS run was scored when Lyndsey LeBlanc drove in MacKinnon with a single in the 3rd inning. Caroline Champoux picked up the win striking out 10, 9 of which came with runners on base. Lisa Green was charged with the loss. The evening contest in OâLeary proved to be more successful for the Nova Scotians, using the dominant pitching performance of Holly Denny to defeat Saskatchewan 2-0. Denny would give up just two singles while striking out 12 and walking two to earn the victory. Saskatchewan hurler Maria Buckingham was not far behind, striking out 11 NS batters and allowing only three hits. Nova Scotia scored one in the 3rd inning when Laura MacKay singled, stole second and came home on a 2 out double by Lisa White. They added one in the bottom half of the 6th when Amanda Somers singled, moved to second on a Lisa White walk and scored when Meghan Brownâs ground ball was mishandled by shortstop Erin Dyck. Nova Scotia finishes round robin play on Thursday with games at Noon vs Newfoundland & Labrador and 4 PM vs Manitoba.
