– Bob Hankee and Bob Reitz both slam two-run home runs to help lead Slatington to a convincing 19-4 Lehigh Valley Baseball League victory over Lehighton. After the Indians take a 1-0 lead in the first inning, Slatington counters with a seven-run second frame. The winners tack on four more in the third, and score five more times in the fourth. While Slatington’s offense enjoys a big day, Dave Reese and Kim Edwards both excel on the mound, limiting the Tribe to just four hits.
