The Barrie Baycats have won the Intercounty Baseball League championship.

Barrie won the 2024 Jack and Lynne Dominico Cup after a 6-2 win Saturday against the Guelph Royals in Game Four. They finished the postseason 10-0 and only trailed for two half-innings the entire playoffs.

The Baycats last won the championship in 2019, it’s their 8th title overall.

Drivers will notice lower prices at the pumps this week.

The winter gas blend switchover began on Sunday and should be done by Wednesday. A price drop of four to five cents per litre is expected before midweek.

Do you know someone with a birthday today? Probably.

More people in Canada are born on September 16th than any other day of the year. This week has more birthdays than any other week of the year, with five days in the top ten. In the U.S., the most common birthday is September 9th.

Experts say more babies are made in the lead-up to the holidays than any other time of year, because there’s more cheer in the air, more time on our hands and more booze in our system.

Despite that fact, September somehow isn’t the most common month to be born; that’s August. July is next, and September is third.

The least common month to be born is February, partly because it has the fewest days. April is next, followed by November. The least common birthday of the year is December 25th.
