A sophomore from Wetumpka did something 27 other teams hadn’t been able to do against Stanhope Elmore’s baseball program until Thursday.

Jaxon Shineflew, the Indians’ starting pitcher against the Mustangs, pitched a complete game shutout to clinch an area championship for Wetumpka in a 2-0 affair behind a stout performance by his defense and a key two-run single by Garrit Terrell.
