July 3, 2003 — A big game from Travers Schmidt helps Tamaqua pull away from Lansford for a 17-3 victory in the District 4 Babe Ruth 13-year-old tournament. Schmidt connects for a three-run homer during an eight-run third inning that gives the winners a 12-0 advantage. Schmidt, who also gains the pitching decision by scattering seven hits in five innings of works, blasts another three-run shot in the fifth to widen the margin. Tamaqua’s Gus Evans adds three hits — single, double and triple — while Chris Hummel contributes three hits, one a double. For Lansford, Chris Wehr ends with a pair of hits.
