August 21, 1967 — Tony Mongi excels on the mound and at the plate to help Lansford register a decisive 15-1 victory over Coaldale in a Panther Valley Little League Tournament contest. Mongi earns the pitching win, allowing just five hits and three walks while striking out 10. At the plate, he blasts a 200-foot three-run homer in the second inning. Rick Stanko finishes 4-for-4 for the winners, while Mongi, Al Vavra, Dave Zonca and Len Oriel all collect a pair of hits in Lansford’s 12-hit attack.
