May 3, 1975 - Conrad “Smokey” Everett throws a three-hitter and strikes out 11 to lead Palmerton to a 6-1 Lehigh Valley League victory over Whitehall. Kerry Solt’s two-run double in the third inning gives the Blue Bombers the lead for good, while Joe Kavusak adds a two-run single in the fifth to extend the advantage. Kavusak ends with three hits, while Mike Koma contributes a pair of hits - one a triple - and an RBI.

Today also marks the 25th anniversary of the first Times News Sports Department On This Date. The first one ran on May 3, 1999 and featured a victory by Marian’s baseball team in 1989.
