8/14/77: Lionville Routs Chester Springs, 8-1, as Luzinkski, Carlton Star

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Lefty said he was ready to go again. It didn't look that way in the 1st but he was right. He fanned 9, and he got stronger late in the game. We had hits up and down the lineup today. The drama was Bull having two shots at a cycle. In the 7th Murray hung one but Bull didn't get all of it in and it ended up being another base hit. Then in the 8th he was called out looking on a bad call, after Clines gave him another shot with a 2-out, 2-run single. The fans knew it was a bad call. But in any case it was a fun afternoon and we climb back into 4th place because, as we would find out later, Devault lost a 12th inning lead and lost to Glenmoore. That win by Glenmoore was their 8th straight and cuts Ghoulach's team's lead to under 10 games for the first time in awhile. Maybe Bentley's boys are going to make this interesting.
