June 9, 1946 - Joe “Flatty” Klepic pitches a two-hitter to lead Coaldale to a 3-1 Panther Valley League victory over Mauch Chunk. Klepic tosses all nine innings, walking just one while striking out eight. The hurler also helps his own cause by collecting two hits at the plate. The winners, managed by Buck McIntyre, put up two runs in the opening inning, which proved to be enough for their starting pitcher. Steve Martinec finishes with a pair of hits, including a double, and a run, while “Muffy” Polansky ends with a single and a triple.
