The little Zephs had their best offensive output of the season in an 11-2 defeat of Dieruff. Jim Elchook, the winning pitcher, had nine strikeouts while Mike Fabian and Vlahovic each drove in three runs. Strong defense was the junior mittmen’s forte in a 9-2 trouncing of Catasauqua. The team compiled an impressive total of 12 hits with Jim Mizgerd rapping out a double and two singles. The jay vee defense gave way to error midway through the season as they dropped four of their six losses by mistakes. Liberty capitalized on the junior varsity’s errors to gain a 13-6 win. Ron Snyder banged out three hits in four times at bat while Fabian added two. Easton used a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly in the last inning to edge out Whitehall 6-5. Vlahovic hurled a four-hitter striking out eight, with Bill Marks, his catcher, getting three hits. JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL — Front Row Dennis Roman. Adolph Yost. Kurt Horlachcr. Guy Schwcnk.
