TORONTO - The George Brown College Huskies baseball team was just no match for the Durham College Lords from Oshawa, Ont.
The Lords, with a 16-0 win in a game called after five innings, swept their four game series with George Brown.
Josh Taylor took the loss, but the Huskies offence was quiet with only Andrew Murrell (Pickering, Ont.) and Emilio Paglia (Maple, Ont.) recording singles. Murrell, who led the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association in batting for the first half of the season, was recognized this week as the top baseball player in the league.
Durham led 1-0, but the Huskies gave up 10 runs in the third.
George Brown, with a 3-13 record, ends its OCAA season with road games in London, Ont., (Fanshawe College) and Windsor, Ont. (St. Clair).

TORONTO - The Durham College baseball team put 10 runs on the board in the third inning to pave the way to a 16-0 win over the George Brown Huskies.
This marks the Lords (6-7) third straight win over George Brown (3-13) in three days, as they swept the season series 4-0 by a combined score of 39-6. The win also puts a little more separation between the two schools for the final playoff spot in the OCAA championship, which Durham is hosting from Oct. 17-18 at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium.
Lords pitcher Thomas Fearon (Ajax, Ont.) was impressive in his first start of the season, as he pitched all five innings and allowed only two George Brown hits. More than half of his outs were Ks, as he fanned eight Husky hitters.
Ben deBoer (Kendal, Ont.) went 3-for-3 at the plate for the second time in three games. The first-year catcher had two RBI, a run scored and reached base four times. He is leading the Lords with a .428 batting average this season.
The number two was the theme of Spencer Green's (Ajax, Ont.) night as he had a pair of doubles, scored two runs and drove in two runners. Wesley Hardwick (Toronto) was the other Lord with two hits as he went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI.
Despite the 16-run outburst, Durham still left 12 runners on base. The Lords finished the night with 15 hits and no errors.
It will be a short turnaround for Durham as they head to North York, Ont., on Wednesday for a doubleheader against the Seneca Sting. Seneca ahs struggled this season as they sit in the basement of the OCAA standings with a 1-14 record. This will be the first of four straight games between the two teams.
