8/15/77: Simmons' Blast in 11th Lifts Lionville Over Honey Brook, 9-7

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Simba! This one was a lot like that extra inning game Lefty started Friday night against Chester Springs. In that one we were 5 runs down before Chester Springs came to bat - and won. Tonight we were 5 runs up before Honey Brook came to bat. We won - barely.
