8/4/77: Hernandez's Blast is Decisive as Guthriesville Gets by Lionville, 5-4

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

This one's on me. I never should have let Randy pitch to Hernandez. This season's Randy doesn't have near the stamina as last season's. I should know that by now. 3 straight losses - not the way I would have liked to go into Chester Springs. We can't blow this chance to make up ground. Anything less than a sweep would be a failure.
