6/5/77: Eagle Vanquishes Lionville, 8-5, in 10 as Foster Homers Twice

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

6 steals, no win. Foster is frightening. Leon had by far his best start, but we didn't give him enough support. Dem' extra inning blues. We're 3-7 in extra inning games. We have a quality 'pen (although you wouldn't know it today), but I wish it were deeper. Those big bats of Eagle really got to Collins in the 10th, but it was Speier's error that opened the floodgates.
