July 3, 1989 - Lehighton graduate Jean Buskirk keys a late-inning rally to help Slatedale defeat Ormrod, 6-5, and remain unbeaten in the Lehigh Valley 19-and-under Girls Fastpitch Softball League. Buskirk blasts a three-run homer in the fifth inning to tie the game, and after falling behind again, delivers a two-run single in the sixth to give her team the lead. Palmerton's Carolee Boyer contributes two hits and a pair of runs to the victory, while fellow Bomber Shari Beers adds a hit and run.
