The summer is heating up, but Toronto Maple Leaf bats remained cool last night at Coates Stadium in Barrie.

Baycats pitching limited the Leafs to just three hits. For their part, Leafs pitchers held Barrie hitters to six hits. The difference on the night was just one run that the home side scored in the third inning.

R.J. Page pitched four innings for Toronto and got hung with the loss despite giving up just the one run. He was spelled by Dustin Richardson, Jackson Jones and Adam Marra, who saw out the final four innings of work.

Other than a double by Grant Tamane, the Leafs did not give us much to write home about.


Toronto 0-3-1
Barrie 1-6-0

W - Garces (3-0, 0.00)
L - Page (1-3, 6.40)
S - Arias (1)


BOXSCORE


The 10-8 Leafs remain a couple of games behind Kitchener in the IBL standings.  Their next stop on this road trip will be at the newly-renovated Bernie Arbour Stadium on Saturday, June 30, when they will take on the Hamilton Cardinals.
