July 1, 1975 — Bud DeWire turns in an outstanding effort on the mound to lead Tamaqua to a victory over Northern Valley in the first round of the Commissioner’s Tournament. DeWire finishes with a two-hitter and strikes out 11 in leading his team to a 3-0 shutout. The winners tally all their runs in the third inning. The frame starts with singles by Rick Jones and Danny Yelito, who both score when Dave Williams delivers a double. Jim Abromitis then plates Williams with another two-base hit. Tamaqua also receives a double from Mike Miorelli.
