5/16/76: Lionville Sweeps Kimberton, 2-1

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Great to win one with Morgan and Simba both getting a chance to rest. I was on the fence about whether to let Sanders pitch the 9th. I probably should have. Sambito didn't have it. Luckily, Max Leon, who came up from the minors to pitch in both ends of the double-header, got Murphy, a guy whom I think has a lot of potential, to ground to Reitz for the forceout to end it. Whew! A 9-2 road trip? I'll take that anytime.
