6/4/76: Lionville Edges Elverson, 6-4

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams: 

It was shaping up to be a laugher but the pesky Squires didn't go down easily. I hope Lefty is okay. He was rubbing his elbow when we signaled me to come get him. Our overworked bullpen did a good, not great, job. Well, Downing was great - again. We could use a complete game from Hooton tomorrow night. Congrats to Taylor on his first win. In the end it was complete failure (0-for-15) by the top of Elverson's order that saved us.
