August 17, 1981 - Steve Dunn drills a two-run homer in the fifth inning to break a tie score and lift Lansford to a 4-2 Panther Valley Little League Tournament win over Jim Thorpe. Dunn’s blast follows a walk to Mike Digilio. Reliever Jeff Goida tosses two scoreless frames to preserve the victory. Tom Radocha contributes a hit and a run scored to the winning cause, while starting pitcher Ron Hood tosses three shutout innings. Thorpe’s hurler, Scott Lazorick, goes the distance and allows just four hits while striking out eight.
