Canisius College softball pitcher Mallory Aldred has been recognized by the NCAA as the nation’s leader in saves at the conclusion of the 2008 season. Aldred finished the year with 15 saves, which is a new NCAA Division I single-season saves record.

Aldred is only the third pitcher in NCAA history to record 12 or more saves in a single season since the 1985 campaign. She set the Canisius career record for saves April 7, at Manhattan and then broke the national single-season saves record May 4, against Rider when she was credited with her 15th save of the season. Going into her senior season in Blue and Gold, Aldred ranks third all-time in NCAA history in career saves with 20 and needs five more to move into second place all-time.

Women's softball booster, coach retires

by Larry Moko
The Hamilton Spectator

(Mar 3, 2009)

Hamilton's Doug Parry first went to bat for women's university fastpitch almost nine years ago. Now, as the umpires say, he's outta there.

A driving force in the formation of the Ontario Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch Association, coach Parry recently announced his retirement in an e-mail to the McMaster players.

"I caught a lot of people by surprise," he said yesterday. "I did some self-evaluation of my lifestyle. I've come to a time when I have to step back a bit."

Parry, 59, will be stepping down as coach of both the McMaster squad and the intermediate Brantford Lady Red Sox of the Provincial Women's Softball Association.

"Everything is on solid footing now," Parry said of the Ontario university league. "It's a good time to get somebody else involved. New ideas and a different style of coaching."
