August 8, 1955 - Lehighton collects only three hits in its Tri-County Legion game against Jim Thorpe, but it’s enough to gain a 5-3 victory. Bob Arner finishes with an RBI hit and a run for the winners, who use a four-run second inning to gain the lead. Arner also goes the distance on the mound, scattering seven hits. Lehighton’s Kuntz delivers a two-run triple, while Hawk scores a pair of runs. Ron Moyer also chips in with a hit. Mike Hurley suffers the hard-luck loss despite giving up just the three hits, while Thorpe’s “Rabbits” Trice connects for three hits.
