Ontario Liberal panel rejects Erskine-Smith’s appeal of nomination vote
2 minute read 8:12 PM CDTTORONTO - The Ontario Liberals have rejected an appeal launched by MP Nate Erskine-Smith after he lost a nomination contest earlier this month.
Erskine-Smith was vying to represent the provincial party in the upcoming Scarborough Southwest byelection but did not win the party's nomination, with members instead selecting Ahsanul Hafiz.
Erskine-Smith appealed to the party's arbitration panel, alleging irregularities that included 34 more ballots counted than the number of recorded voters, as well as people who couldn't state their address or claimed to have "just lost" their driver's licence.
The arbitration's panel's decision, released late Sunday, finds that Hafiz is the "true winner" of the nomination vote.

Phoenix Call’s walk-off HBP lifts UCLA to Big Ten Championship, 3-2 over Oregon in 11 innings
2 minute read 7:07 PM CDTOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Phoenix Call was grazed by a pitch with two outs and the bases full in the bottom of the 11th inning and UCLA defeated Oregon 3-2 on Sunday to win the Big Ten Championship.
It was the top-seeded and top-ranked Bruins' third walk-off win of the tournament and they benefited from two close calls in the winning rally. With nobody out in the 11th, Roman Martin advanced from second to third on a bunt by Jarrod Hocking. Martin was called safe on the tight play and the ruling stood after Oregon challenged the call.
The play loaded the bases and after Devin Bell struck out two UCLA batters, Call was hit on the shoulder by a pitch from Bell, allowing Martin to score. Again, the play was challenged and stood up to review, giving the Bruins the Big Ten title in their second season in the conference.
No. 14 Oregon, the third seed, led 2-1 heading to the bottom of the ninth inning but UCLA's Aidan Espinoza tied it with an RBI single to right field.
