"A Leaside tradition since 1968"
Aug 31- Once again the
Leaside Leafs and the
Pickering Red Sox played a
back and forth affair with unfortunately the Leafs coming out on the losing end by a score of 9-8. The Leafs couldn't hold on to their 8-6 lead as Pickering pushed three across in the bottom of the 8th. Sean Kavanaugh took the loss despite pitching well in relief of starter Josh Howsam who left in the fourth. On the offensive side of the ball Jamie Lekas and Jeff Gruchy had multiple hit nights and "Big Cat" Adam Morton had an rbi single. Game two goes tonight at Talbot Park, 7:30pm.
Sep 6- The Leafs were cruising in
game three with a 7-1 lead in the
deciding game of their series with Pickering until the bottom of the sixth. The decisive inning saw the Red Sox explode for 10 runs off of 8 hits coupled with three Leafs errors. Once the dust had settled the Leafs had lost 14-9. Jeremiah Sucre started for the Leafs and struck out five through 5.1 innings of work. On the offensive side of the field Roy Suzuki, a junior call up banged out two hits including a double while Jeremy Hopkins had a hit and two rbi's. Leafs next action won't be until 2018. Good luck to Pickering and Thornhill in the 2017 GTBL final.

On the offensive side of the ball rookie Noah Koffman picked up three hits for the second night in a row while leadoff batter Nick Manokarakis banged out two hits with a stolen base. In the field the Leafs played solid defence as Travis Skelton tracked down and took away a double in the fourth when the Red Sox were threatening as well as Lee Mosbaugh completing the rare 9-3 putout. Leafs also turned three double plays during the night. Game three goes Tuesday in Pickering. 7:30 start.
