5/14/77: Biittner's Homer Caps Eagle's Rally for 5-4 Win Over Lionville

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Another blown opportunity to climb over .500. This is getting monotonous. Our starters are serving up too many fat ones. Joe's hot streak comes to an untimely end, which included grounding into a game-ending twin-killing. One bright spot is Dawson coming on.
