| Bulls hosted the Scarborough Indians on Saturday and came out firing on offense.
In game 1, Leyland took to the hill and threw a complete game allowing 3 runs.
The Bulls offense appeared stalled early on when they left the bases full in the first, but then exploded for 4 in the 2nd on a Leyland based loaded, 3 RBI double. The Bulls continued to pour the offense on and won 16-3 banging out 19 hits along the way. Leyland wins his league leading 4th game.
In Game 2, Eric Conlon was the victim of the Bulls worst defensive showing of the year allowing 5 runs (only 1 earned)
E-Con allowed only 3 hits and Ked 4 on the way to a Bulls 18-5 romp
Bulls had 19 hits including a leadoff homerun by Brad Guy and a 3 run homerun from Howden. Leyland was 3 for 3 at the dish.
Bulls move to 9-1 on year. The same record they had after 10 games in 2005 (with the only loss coming against Whitby/Brooklin)
The Bulls offense wouldn't quit in this one, despite murmerings by a Scarboough team that wished it would. The Bulls motto has always been that station to station only exists after a 10 run lead is secured.
The Bulls are 6-0 vs West. 3-1 vs East and a perfect 6-0 vs expansion teams with only the Giants still to come.
The Bulls have a very difficult weekend ahead of them as they face Richmond Hill on the road. This Sunday night double header will occur after the Bulls play in an ICBL tourney and will be a real challenge to play what could be their 6th and 7th game of the weekend against a very tough RH team.

| I have always questioned the part of "traditional baseball etiquette" that suggests that a team should stop trying once ahead by a lot. Tell the Scarborough whiners to stick it in their ears.

| You will rarely find us put up a winning score of more then 10 runs. It's just not fun, and not cool to be "those guys" who run up the score. Hell we were cheering for out's. It just so happened that we kept blooping hits in with the bases loaded, or they walked guys in ect. In the 2nd game we were station to station before we hit the 10 run mark. Blowouts give baseball the bad rep of being a slow and boring game. I'd much rather play in a 5-3 game then a 16-3 game.

| On that uplifting note... McNair has generously offered to donate his RBI's to others more in need.
