Majors win 13-5
The Toronto Maple Leafs played the final Sunday home game of the 2015 season this afternoon at Christie Pits.
It was the celebrated - and eagerly anticipated - Fan Appreciation Day at the ballpark, when the Owner bestows the faithful with gifts beyond comprehension. Hats, baseball gear, appliances, SUVs, vacation properties, Senate appointments - it's the greatest Fan Appreciation Day in baseball. I missed today's game and I'm kicking myself. Was really hoping to score that Muskoka cottage this year.
Based on the boxscore on Pointstreak, the Leafs extended the gift-giving courtesy to the visiting London Majors. Five errors. Seven wild pitches. Two passed balls. En route to a 13-5 win, the Londoners tallied seven unearned runs.
YEESH.
The Majors played the role of thoughtless guests, returning no such favours to the hosts today. Adam Paish pitched eight innings and gave up only three runs. Leafs RBIs came from Grant Tamane, Dan Marra, Jon Waltenbury and Will Richards. Uh, that's it.
London 13-11-1
Toronto 5-13-5
W - Paish (3-2, 5.35)
L - Redinger (1-2, 8.01)
BOXSCORE
Two makeup games remain to be played before the regular season ends, and there are still post-season ramifications at stake. The Leafs are a half-game behind the Burlington Bandits, with a game in hand. These two sides will face off at the Pits tomorrow night, July 27, with 6th place up for grabs.
