June 5, 1977 - A timely double play helps Tamaqua hold on for a 9-8 Pocono Mountain League victory over West End.

Bob Miller collects three hits, including two solo homers, for the winners while Dave Piccin adds a two-run double and a two-run homer. The Travelers also receive three hits from Bob Popik, and two hits and two RBIs from Jones.
