– A three-run third inning helps Tamaqua squeeze out a 3-2 decision over Jim Thorpe in a non-league game on the loser’s diamond. Mike Ambrose singles home Jeff Oakes with the deciding run, while John Rother and Wendell Paisley shut down the Olympian offense. Rother works four frames before giving way to Paisley. Despite the setback, Jim Thorpe outhits the Raiders, 4-2, with Gary Heydt and Bill Keegan having two hits apiece for the Olympians. Tony Roos suffers the hard-luck loss.
