5/7/76: Lionville Defeats Chester Springs, 5-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Jump on 'em early and often - that's the way to do it. Leon Roberts! Well, seems he just wanted to be slotted higher up in the batting order. And maybe he prefers to DH. At any rate, great to see him bust out. Too bad Lefty ran out of gas in the 9th, but he pitched really well. Reed gave up the hit to Monday that lost the shutout, but he bounced back and did his job.
