5/5/77: Chester Springs Downs Lionville, 4-1, Behind P. Niekro, Winfield

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Cinco de Mayo, huh? Meh. You know things are getting bad when the biggest excitement is Cruz dropping what would have been the game-ending fly ball, off the bat of Ott with the bases jammed, to preserve our string of never having been shut out with me at the helm. Nothing else, aside from Lefty's 10 Ks, for another smallish crowd to cheer about.
