Jeremy Walker had three hits, including a three-run homer, and the Toronto Maple Leafs took advantage of seven errors to edge the Oshawa Dodgers 12-9 to move into first place in the Intercounty Baseball League Sunday afternoon at Christie Pits.

Toronto manager Tim Harkness said he’ll take his team’s 3-1 start to the season, even though there were some tense moments Sunday.

“It was a sloppy game for sure, but it was good to come back after having lost yesterday (Saturday in Brantford),” Harkness said. “We’re showing a lot of spirit on this team.

Josh McCurdy drove in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Brantford Red Sox a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Brantford Saturday afternoon, handing the Leafs their first loss of the season.

The defending IBL champions improved to 2-2 with the victory, which took them more than 4 ½ hours to get on a soggy afternoon. The Leafs host the Oshawa Dodgers Sunday at 2 p.m. on Team Calendar Day.

The Toronto Maple Leafs won their second straight game to start the season as Drew Taylor threw five shutout innings to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 win over the Kitchener Panthers Sunday at Christie Pits.

Taylor (2-0) allowed just one hit, a fifth inning double by Mike Winter, after he retired the first 12 men he faced. He struck out one and walked one and has now allowed one run on three hits in 10 innings in his first two starts, both wins.
