5/3/77: McCovey Clubs 2 as Chester Springs Holds Off Lionville, 7-6

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Hooton stunk! He grooved 4 fat ones. His ERA is over 6. In fact the whole team looked like it was sleepwalking until the 5th. Then we come back and just miss tying it a few times, most notably Morales in the 7th. But ultimately we fall short. Only 520 showed up, and if we keep playing like this, I wouldn't blame our fans for staying home. Well, we fielded better than they did. That's something. I guess.
