Reported like a real league
The league publishes results week by week, and it publishes them properly. Week 13 has the Port Hope Flyers beating the Milton Orioles 5-1 with Brendan Tink going the complete game to move to 4-1 and Steve Jablonski taking the loss, also complete, at 4-4. The Mississauga Southwest Twins shut out the Vaughan Vikings 2-0 behind Pete Westlake. The Clarington Cubs took both ends from the Martingrove Sox, 13-4 and then 19-0, T.J. McKinlay and Liam Storey the winners. The Bowmanville Dodgers edged the Markham Mariners 5-4 with a save for Josh Essery.
Pitchers of record with running win-loss lines, complete games marked and saves credited is a standard of reporting most professional minor leagues would recognise, done by volunteers.
It is written as a block of text under a week heading. On a High Cheese league page the same report becomes the game, the standings, the pitcher's line and his season record in one action -- so a 4-1 stays 4-1 everywhere without anybody retyping it next week.
