July 8, 1985 — Joe Marsilio pitches a three-hitter as Tamaqua gains a 6-3 victory over West Hazleton in a District 18 Little League tournament game. Marsilio, who walks four and strikes out nine, receives early run support as Jim Hope and Chris Woodring both score first-inning runs for a 2-0 lead. Woodring adds an RBI double in the third, while Paul Warner supplies a run-scoring two-base hit in the fourth. Matt Zubras adds an RBI in the fourth on a ground out. Hope and Marsilio also collect doubles for the winners, and Joe Ruggeri chips in with a single.
