July 26, 1945 Larry Getz tosses a five-hit shutout to lead Mauch Chunk to a 5-0 Panther Valley League win over Coaldale. Getz strikes out eight batters and receives offensive support from his brother. Albert Getz finishes 3-for-3 for a run scored for the winners, while Joe Watto adds two hits and a run scored. "Butch" Williams, "Jake" Eberts and Clarence Herman all chip in with a hit and a run.
