August 30, 1959 - Larry Hill and Denny Roth star on the mound and at the plate to lead the Lehighton Lakers to a convincing 14-1 Pocono Mountain League victory over Bushkill. Hill allows just one hit in six scoreless innings and strikes out seven, while Roth tosses three frames and gives up one run on one hit. With a bat, Hill collects three hits and scores three runs. Roth, meanwhile, adds a pair of hits - one a homer - and knocks in three runs. The winners, managed by Glenn Warner, also receive three hits from both Ron Moyer and Wentz.
