7/18/76: Lionville Surges Past Chester Springs, 9-4

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
Crackling game - nip and tuck. Hozay with that pinch-single to put us ahead for good, and then Wynn with the exclamation mark in the form of a the 3-run bomb. Electric! Ghoulach sure made the wrong move bringing in Moose. I loved Simba throwing out 3 of 4 would-be base stealers. We got pretty decent work out of the bullpen after Swan got hurt.

7/18/76: Chester Springs Tops Lionville, 3-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
Criminy! We sure would have liked to get the sweep of Ghoulach and his guys, but we just couldn't get over the hump. Kison made the one big mistake early hanging up that lollipop for Jorgensen to belt out and the uphill climb proved to be too much. If only Simba could have beaten that throw home from Dave May in the 1st to tie it, I think things would have gone differently. No regrets that I sent him, though. Well, we have 1 more game in the long home stand - 7-4 so far - and we need to make the most of it. Looks like I'll be sending Reed to the hill; good thing I didn't use him today.

Jim Ghoulach was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last
at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there?
You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead.  But, hey, that's what
makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over
'til its over.'

box and delivered a one-base hit.  Parker was running on the next pitch and
he stole second.  After another out, Bill Plummer stepped up to the plate and
he was walked intentionally.  Bud Harrelson was next to bat, but he was a

times.  
 
The win was credited to Chip Lang(3-1) who went 2 and 2/3 innings allowing no
