6/15/76: Lionville Bests Kimberton, 5-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Nice to see Hooton go the distance. Give him credit. He really wriggled his way out of a few jams. We got some clutch 2-out hitting by Reitz, Davis, and Martin. That's getting to be a hallmark of this club. Randy goes for the sweep tomorrow night. I see Kong Kingman hit 2 more bombs in the losing cause for the Dynamiters. That gives him 25 … a Ruth-ian pace!
