On This Date: (April 30, 1959)

April 30, 1959 — Bob Yalch turns in a 3-for-3 performance at the plate, with two of his hits doubles, and knocks in three runs to lead Lansford to a 10-2 Hughie McGeehan League victory over St. Gabe’s. His offensive output helps make a winner of starting pitcher Eddie Gargula, who allows just four hits and three walks, while striking out a whopping 18. Bobby Gelatko adds a pair of hits, one a double, and scores two runs. Karnish also contributes offensively, collecting two hits and two RBIs. Gargula helps his own cause by chipping in with a double and a run, as does Ron Swider.
