Windsor Lancers

The Lancer softball team battled through a busy weekend at the OUS Championship, earning a 5-0 shutout victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues before dropping a pair of hard-fought contests to Brock and Western.
 
Windsor opened the weekend in impressive fashion, as Jayde Melhuish-McGahan threw a complete-game shutout to lead the Lancers to a 5-0 victory over Toronto. The Lancers jumped out to an early lead after Tia Nelson singled home a run in the first inning, before Nelson added another RBI in the second. An error also helped Windsor extend its advantage. Melhuish-McGahan, Emma Hanley and Nelson each collected two hits, with Nelson going 2-for-3 and driving in two runs. The Lancers were flawless defensively, committing no errors and turning two double plays, with Sienna Gale recording a team-high nine defensive chances.
 
Windsor then faced Brock in a back-and-forth battle, ultimately falling 8-7 on the final play of the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Lancers trailed early but battled back to take a 7-6 lead in the sixth, with Melhuish-McGahan delivering a two-run single, Nelson adding an RBI single and an error bringing home another run. Brock tied the game in the seventh before scoring the winning run in the eighth. Melhuish-McGahan led the Lancers at the plate with three hits, while Nelson and Grace Shackleton also recorded multiple hits. Windsor finished with 11 hits in the contest.
 
The Lancers closed out the weekend against Western, falling 8-0. The Mustangs scored six runs in the second inning and added another in the third to take control of the game. Windsor was limited to two hits, with Emma Hanley and Kyra Smith each recording a hit. Melhuish-McGahan took the loss in the circle after two innings of work, while the Lancers turned another double play defensively.
