Battered.  Fried.  Served up like a plate of halibut.

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Barrie Baycats at Coates Stadium last night.  The final score was 10-2.

Barrie erupted for six runs in the third inning and never looked back.  Kyle DeGrace delivered the coup de grâce in the eighth inning with a three-run homer, giving him five RBIs on the night.

Toronto starter Brett van Pelt was tagged for six runs (five earned) over just four innings.  Marek Deska, Matt Fiorini and Dillan Mulholland pitched the remaining four innings. 

The Leafs were unable to mount a comeback in this one.  Dan Marra (above) led at the plate with three hits and an RBI, but after starter Brett Lawson departed in the sixth, the Barrie bullpen shut the visitors down.


Toronto 2-11-2
Barrie 10-16-0

W - Lawson (4-1, 5.13)
L - van Pelt (1-3, 9.00)


BOXSCORE


The Maple Leafs' 8-9 record leaves them in 5th place in the IBL standings.  They will attempt to get back to winning ways tonight at Bernie Arbour Stadium against the Hamilton Cardinals.
