Sunday lit up across Norfolk and Haldimand on May 31 — theSimcoe Giants 16Ublanked Innisfil12-0behind a complete-game gem from L. Shortt at Memorial Park. Around the counties: the Haldimand Heat 09s knocked off Guelph, the Six Nations Smoke ran the table at their tournament, and Delhi's Liam M launched a seventh-inning grand slam in a heartbreaker.

Game of the Night — Simcoe Giants 16U vs Innisfil Cardinals 16U A

Memorial Park belongs to the home side on Sunday. From the first pitch, the Simcoe Giants 16U squeeze the Innisfil Cardinals A into a corner and never let go.

On the mound, L. Shortt is untouchable — six innings, two hits, no runs, seven strikeouts, a complete-game shutout that hums along like a metronome. Innisfil's only two base knocks come off the bats of Rodgers and Milliard, and neither one gets anywhere near home plate.

The Giants do their damage early and often. H. Smith sets the table all afternoon, going 3-for-4 and seeming to reach base every time he digs in. K. Cameron chips in a two-hit day, and the RBI sheet reads like a group project: Shortt, Leach, Smith, and Hazen each drive in a pair.

By the time the last out settles into a glove, it's a clean, complete12-0win — the all-phases kind of night that has a coach grinning on the drive home.

Final: Simcoe Giants 16U 12, Innisfil Cardinals 16U A 0.
