April 16, 1975 — Tamaqua explodes for eight runs in the first inning en route to a 9-1 victory over host Minersville. The Miorelli brothers — Mike and Dan — key the Blue Raider victory. Dan scatters five hits during his complete game pitching effort, allowing just an unearned run, to collect the win. He also aids his own cause with a hit, two runs and two RBIs. Mike highlights the big first frame by slugging a three-run homer. Tamaqua, coached by Mickey Stefanek, also receives two hits and two RBIs from Denny Yelito, while Greg George and Bud Dewire each contribute RBI singles during the big first inning.
