April 23, 1974 - Rick Merluzzi hits a three-run homer and Bruce Snyder turns in a solid pitching performance to help Lehighton gain an 8-1 Lehigh Valley League victory over Stroudsburg. Merluzzi’s blast comes during a five-run third inning that gives the Indians, coached by Wilson Rehrig, a comfortable lead. Snyder goes the distance on the mound, allowing just five hits and two walks while striking out seven. Blaine Dietz finishes with two hits, two runs and two RBIs, while Eric Snyder contributes a pair of hits and scores twice. The winners also receive two hits from Denny Rehrig.
