5/4/76: Lionville Ambushes Honey Brook, 4-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Man, I just had a real good feeling going into the bottom of the 9th that this one would be ours! Jerry hasn't hit for average - yet, but he's had some pretty big hits, none bigger than this game-winner off Tug. Up to that point it had been a case of Sarge Matthews giving (with errors on consecutive plays in the 6th) and then taking away (with the 8th inning bomb off Burt). Leon Roberts continues to amaze - in a bad way. I couldn't take it anymore - had to get him out.
