9/15/76: Lionville Holds Off Kimberton, 9-8

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

What has happened to our pitching here in Kimberton? I'll be glad to get out of this den of anxiety after the game tomorrow afternoon. Thankfully, Simba, Wynn, and Leon swung their bats pretty well. We ended up needing everything they gave us. Tom Walker had a tough out to get there at the end in Watson but Walker managed. Oh and how about Reitz and Speier playing each other's positions in the 1st? I like a joke as much as the next guy but just because we've clinched is no reason to pull a stunt like that.
