8/2/77: Guthriesville Smokes Lionville, 9-3, Behind Lopes, Thomas

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Swan did not have it - at all. Under normal circumstances I would have got him outta there in the 2nd, but the pen has been so overworked I really needed him to give us some innings. It didn't help that he let them run wild on the basepaths - 5 stolen bases. Simba had a couple hits but for the 2nd straight game he let us down with bases packed and 2 outs. Two bright spots: Morales going 4-for-4 to increase his average to .277 and Reed striking out the side in the 8th.
