6/25/77: Schmidt's Grand Slam Keys Elverson in 8-4 Trouncing of Lionville

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Another in a recent series of our starting pitchers looking ill-prepared. That trend has to stop. Not much you can do when Cornutt, who has been really good, comes in with the bases jammed and on his first pitch leaves one hanging for Schmidt.
