The Maple Leafs  scored nine times with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning to absolutely steal one from the Burlington Bandits 13-10 capped off by Ryan White's three run walk off home run just minutes after a dying quail of a single to right by Matt Blair-Brown that landed just out of reach of the right fielder.

"At first all I was thinking was holy crap, we just tied the game." said Ryan White "then I just wanted to cash the run in and end this crazy game. But I'll take the homer any day."

The game featured less than stellar pitching on both sides of the field as the teams combined for 28 walks on the night  with the Leafs out hitting the Bandits 11-6

The Bandits led the game 6-1 and heading to the bottom of the ninth 10-4 but could not get the last out.
 
Jim Martin gave tne Bandits that 6-1 lead thanks to his grand slam in the top of the sixth . Canice Ejoh had a pair of hits and drove in three RBIs while Justin Gideon added a solo homer in the top of the third inning.
 
Brendan Kuzcyk took the loss allowing four runs (all earned) on two hits and a pair of walks
 
Adam Garner picked up the win pitching a scoreless ninth inning for the Leafs. He allowed a walk.
 
Jon Waltenbury added a solo homer and a double finishing with three RBIs  while Connor Lewis had a pair of doubles and had an RBI for the Maple Leafs
 
The Bandits fell to 1-9 on the season while the Leafs improved to 6-4 on season .  They travel to Hamilton Friday night to play the Cardinals at 7:30 p.m.
