8/5/76: Elverson Humbles Lionville, 9-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams

That'll teach me to gloat about the troubles of another manager (Ghoulach of Chester Springs). I'd been surprised by Denny's lack of success this season - figures he would get untracked against us. Schmidt and Milner killed us with the long ball in this series. We were lucky to escape with one win. We're two-thirds into the season now. With the loss we finished the second third 37‑17. That was down from the astronomical 41‑13 of the first third - but still pretty darn good. Now we have the Beekeepers coming in. We're 10‑2 against them, so they'll be primed to follow up on Elverson's success here. We'll need to step it up!
