9/9/76: Lionville Shades Kimberton, 2-1, to Clinch Tie

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Taut and tense all the way. Good thing Walker closed the door because I was out of arms in the 'pen. Joe's slump continues. Bull's 100th RBI is the difference but his slump continues. No sense complaining. We end the 15-game home stand with 11 wins, and a magic number down to 1. Quite likely we'll clinch on the road - this weekend at Ghoulach's place I hope. I wish we could have done it in front of our fans.
