8/7/77: 3 RBIs for Winfield, McCovey as Chester Springs Whips Lionville, 8-2

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
We weren't competitive. This was the 2nd straight poor start by Swan. The only good things I saw were Simba's homer and Ott throwing out 3 would-be base-stealers - and stealing one himself.

8/6/77: Lionville Drubs Chester Springs, 12-3, as Morgan Homers Twice

Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
We were pretty relentless at the plate - good to see after stranding 4 in the first 2 innings. Davey Johnson and Joe showed a lot of muscle. More fine relief work by Collins. We took out a lot of frustration today. Terrible the small crowds they draw here, by the way, with such a strong ballclub.
