Although the defending champion Zephyrs lost the Lehigh Valley League crown to Northampton, Whitehall's exciting, young team put the Maroon and Gold to no shame. By defeating Slatington, 3-0, the Zephs were now tied with Stroudsburg for the first half championship. The Zephyrs continued winning with a 7-0 victory over the Mounties to take the first half crown with ease. The Zephyrs scored six runs in the fourth to break open a tight game with Catasauqua, as Whitehall belted the Roughies a 10-3 loss. The sixth inning again played a major part in the Zephyrs success as they pulled off a 6-3 win over visiting Lehighton. Giving up only six hits, Greg Smith's pitching helped Whitehall to a 5-2 victory over the Emmaus Green Hornets. Parkland avenged a 2-1 loss earlier in the season as they romped over Whitehall 4-1, as the Trojan's Fred Silar slammed a bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the fourth inning to give Parkland the win. Palmerton's Mike Koma and Ricky Engle singled in the third and scored on a double by Terry Slot as the Bombers upset Whitehall 6-1 on home turf.
