The Harrisburg Alumni Association

In a preview of what is to be, Jon Tucker drills a two-out, two-strike, ninth-inning grand slam off Norwich closer Joe Lisio 27 years ago today to lift the Harrisburg Senators over the Navigators 9-5 on City Island.

Less than four months later, Milton Bradley does the same to Lisio with another two-out, two-strike, ninth-inning grand slam to beat Norwich 12-11 on City Island.

Bradley's slam, of course, comes in the fifth and final game of the Eastern League finals, giving Harrisburg an EL-record fourth straight title.

Really, you can’t make up this stuff.
