Jul 10- The Leafs finished the group stage with a 2-1 record that was good enough for them to advance to the knockout stage. On Friday night the Leafs defeated the Oakville A's 6-2 in a rain shortened affair. Josh Howsam looked solid on the mound and picked up the win. In game two the Leafs on the strength of Jeremiah Sucre allowing one hit through six defeated the Mississauga SW Twins 6-2. In the final game against St. Thomas the Leafs chased the baseball all over the ball park as the Tomcats put up a staggering 18 or 19 (we're not really sure).

Jul 12- The Leafs were cruising until the 8th inning against Kendal last night. Starter Jeremiah Sucre (insert) had struck out 11 and scattered 5 hits up to that point but unfortunately for the Leafs he just ran out of gas. Reliever Kenneth Pittman was unable to put a lid on the inning and when the dust settled Kendal had platted 11 runners. The Leafs offence was able to muster seven against the Eagles as Jeremy Hopkins and Averey Bet-Payumo each had multi hit nights with the Leafs slugger, ABP legging out a rare triple.

Jul 15- The Leafs jumped out to an early 2-1 lead over the league leading Newmarket Hawks before two costly errors in 4th led to a six-run Hawks inning. The Hawks added another 9 in the 6th and 7th to defeat the Leafs 16-3. Jorge Frugoni took the loss for the Leafs pitching six innings. Noah Koffman returned to the Leafs lineup since mid June and banged out a single in his second at-bat. Mike Loizides (insert) had the largest hit of the night for the Leafs as he hit a solo shot onto Eglinton Avenue. The Leafs next action is Wednesday in Pickering.
