Maple Leafs Rally Late to Nip Crosscutters
The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Connecticut Crosscutters, 8-7, at Maple Leaf Park at Hanlan's Point. Toronto catcher Tony Smith had a superb performance. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Maple Leafs, at 42-39, sit in second place in the Eastern League Carlos Rios Division.

Ed Sánchez was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Maple Leafs second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Toronto manager Mark Sambor.
