The Welland 91.7 Giant FM/Country 89 Tigers capitalized on the powerplay, netted a short-handed marker and recorded an empty-net goal in a 3-0 victory over Garden City Falcons in minor peewee A playoff action on Sunday.
Julian Belcastro opened the scoring in the second period with a powerplay goal and Tanner Cutler would extend the lead to two with a short-handed tally assisted by Jonah Bello with just under four minutes remaining in the third. Chace Buti would add an insurance marker into the empty net with 1:16 remaining as Welland improved to 35-0-4 against Niagara-based teams this season. Riley Caron picked up his seventh shutout of the season while enjoying a relatively easy workload.
