6/17/77: Smith Belts 2 Grand Slams as Kimberton Batters Lionville, 10-3

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Kison walks the bases loaded in the 5th and then Smith hits a grand slam. That was your ballgame - 5 batters (including Youngblood who struck out). Then Smith does it again off Reed in the 8th. Quite a feat. Gotta take off my cap to him. That makes us only 8-17 against the teams above us in the standings. That tells me something - something not good.
