June 30, 1946 — Joe “Flatty” Klepic scatters eight hits and strikes out 13 over nine innings to help Coaldale edge Mauch Chunk, 4-3, in a Panther Valley League contest. Klepic runs into trouble in the ninth but strikes out two pinch-hitters with two runners on base to preserve the one-run victory. Steve Martinec collects a triple and scores two runs for the winners, coached by Buck McIntyre. Tilly Salvadore contributes a hit, two stolen bases and a run scored, while “Goosey” Sotak’s bases-loaded walk forces in the go-ahead run in the sixth.
