8/14/76: Lionville Overcomes Guthriesville, 6-3

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

The Diggers have improved quite a bit since we last saw them. They're not intimidated by us anymore. They made us work for it this afternoon, but we got some clutch hitting in the 8th for a 3-spot and that was the difference. Kenny Reitz had the big hit, a 2-out, 2-run single to break a 2-2 tie - heady baserunning by Leon on that play. Kranepool had a big day, 4 hits, a triple short of a cycle. Lefty tossed a couple of melon balls to Lopes and Cedeno, but fortunately nobody was on base at the time. Other than that Lefty was pretty good. Sambito had my ticker racing, but he got the save. He was lucky Barry Foote got under that last pitch a little bit. That was 20 feet short of a game-tying 3-run shot to left. I'm glad I had subbed Martin for Leon. Whew!
