5/31/77: Lionville Comes Back to Beat Elverson, 6-4, Behind Morales

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:

Jerry Morales comes through in the clutch and we - and Schatzeder - get a gritty comeback win despite leaving 11 runners on base. Jerry made a key play in the field too, throwing out the speedy Armbrister at the plate in the 8th to tamp down what could have been a big inning for them. Now if we can only get Joe going - and Hooton when he comes back which should be any day now.
