“The turning point in the game was a Williamson rally in the third," Wyalusing coach John Loomis said. "When Learn got a hit, another reached on error and then it was followed by another hit. Then our catcher, Dietz picked off Durst on first base. It took the wind out of their inning. Dietz has been working hard all year, it was big for us. Ward then doubled off of the fence in the third and it turned the game around for us.”
