May 1876 Recap

On May 10th, Weber again made CBA history when he became the new career strikeout leader. During a 5-3 victory over Villanova, Weber recorded strikeout number 133 to pass former Lafayette pitcher Tom Drummond. By the end of the regular season, Weber had pushed the career mark to 150.

The first firing of the season came on May 14th, when Lehigh dismissed Manager Luke Rising. The former Penn star finished with a 47-98 record and the team was 15-33 at the time of his dismissal.
