5/31/76: Lionville Sweeps Honey Brook, 9-1

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

A dubious accomplishment on the part of McLaughlin: not using his bullpen in either game of a doubleheader in which his 'keepers get outscored 14-2. 181 pitches by Alcala - what was McLaughlin thinking?! Leon breaks open a tight one with a grand slam. The amazing Speier drives in our first two runs by first beating out a suicide squeeze (what a bunt!) and later walking with the sacks full. Loved watching Milbourne get to motor all the way around on his triple in the 9th. Icing on the cake. Lovely day - heck, lovely weekend in The Nest.
