August 7, 1954 — Eddie Chuckran slugs a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning before Lansford tallies twice in the ninth for a 12-11 walk-off win over Hazleton in a Tri-County Legion contest. After Chuckran’s blast, Hazleton takes the lead with a single run. Bernie Radocha knots the score again in the home half with an RBI triple that scores Bill Sproule, who had walked, before Paul Ruzicka’s slow roller to short scores Radocha with the game-winning run. Diehl ends with two hits and two runs for Lansford, while Radocha, Jack Ligenza and Gabe Fritz all finish with a pair of hits.
