Blankety-Blank

The early story of the 2016 IBL season went something like: "Everyone beats everyone else and the Panthers rule over all."

Clearly the class of the league, the black cats of Kitchener entered this week with an 11-1 record.  However, they suddenly dropped two games in a row, losing at home to Burlington and Brantford.

Normal service was resumed tonight as the Panthers blanked the Toronto Maple Leafs 9-0 at Jack Couch Park.

Rather than being done in by one big inning, it was death by a thousand cuts for the Leafs.  The Panthers scored one or two runs at a time, but they put runs on the board in six different innings.  

Tanner Nivins and Sean Reilly led the scoring for Kitchener with a home run and two RBIs each.  Jonathan Brouse drove in a pair, and Justin Interisano and Mike Glinka also drove in one run each.

The Leafs scraped out just five singles en route to being shut out.  Cuban Noelvis Entenza pitched seven innings and David Whiteside came in to finish the job.

I got nothing else.


Toronto 0-5-2
Kitchener 9-12-0

W - Entenza (4-1, 4.86)
L - Rumion (0-2, 8.18)


BOXSCORE


With a 7-7 record, the Maple Leafs slip to fifth place in the IBL Standings.  Their end-of-the-week road trip continues in Brantford tomorrow night, June 17, when they will take on the Red Sox.
