8/6/77: Lionville Drubs Chester Springs, 12-3, as Morgan Homers Twice

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

We were pretty relentless at the plate - good to see after stranding 4 in the first 2 innings. Davey Johnson and Joe showed a lot of muscle. More fine relief work by Collins. We took out a lot of frustration today. Terrible the small crowds they draw here, by the way, with such a strong ballclub.
