8/12/77: Martin, Reitz Give Lionville 8-7 Win Over Chester Springs in 10

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

That was a doozy of a win - 2 comebacks! Wish I could say I really meant to drop Kenny Reitz to 8th in the order - but that's where he ended up - and it worked. This one kind of makes up for the first game of our series with them last week. But Lefty sure looked rusty coming off the DL. And for a second I thought he got hurt again. I wonder when he's going to be ready to give it another go …
