6/8/76: Lionville Spanks Guthriesville, 8-5

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams: 

Lefty battles through control problems to snag his first win since May 12. The highlight was Joe's pinch, 3-run homer in the 9th that gave us breathing room  The guy is amazing! Even when he sits out he ends up making a big contribution. The lowlight was Speier's 0-for-6. Ugh. It may be getting close to time to move him back down in the order.
