August 16, 1960 - Bruce Shanfelt tosses a two-hitter to lead Jim Thorpe to a 2-1 victory over Tamaqua in the Panther Valley Little League tournament. Shanfelt allows just an unearned run in the first inning, and blanks the visitors the rest of the way. Shanfelt collects two hits at the plate, including a single in the fifth frame that chases home Bob Brown with the go-ahead run. Joe Bonner chips in with a hit for the winners, coached by John "Buck" Sweeney, while Bob Schweibinz adds a run scored.
