July 5, 1995 — Travis Hand belts a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the sixth inning to give Towamensing Township an 8-7 walk-off victory over West Hazleton in the District 18 Little League 11-12 tournament. The homer is Hand’s second of the game, as his two-run shot in the first opens the game’s scoring. With the score tied in the third, Brian Huszar drives in the go-ahead run, while Billy Marques doubles and eventually scores. The winners increase their lead in the fourth on RBI singles by Jason DeWalt and Marques, only to see their opponent knot the score again to set up the dramatic ending by Hand.
