CAN-AM Classic Finals: Monroe defeated Durham 8-7

OSHAWA, Ont. â€“ Monroe Community College of Rochester, NY won three games this weekend to earn their second straight Durham College CAN-AM Classic womenâ€™s fastball title.

The Tribunes needed a comeback effort on Sunday afternoon to beat the Durham Lords 8-7 in the tournament finals.

Durham took a 6-2 lead heading into the fifth inning after scoring three runs in the third and fourth innings but Monroe was able to bounce back as they scored four runs off of five hits.The Tribunes managed to shut down the Lords in the bottom half of the inning and comeback with two more runs in the sixth to take an 8-6 lead.

Melissa Semeniuk crushed a solo home run over the centre field wall to cut the lead to just one, but the Tribunes were able to force a ground out to end the game.

Joanna Bardak was the Tribunes top hitter going 3-for-4 at the plate including a home run to lead off the game.

Semeniuk, Janna Hagan, Shannon Ferguson and Jessica Pike all had two hits in the championship game for the Lords.

Durham advanced to the finals with a 16-2 win over the Niagara County Community College Thunderwolves, who made their first appearance at the tournament.

This is the fourth time Monroe has won the CAN-AM Classic, as they also won it in 2006, 2007 and 2010. They were also finalists at the tournament in 2008 and 2009.
