April 30, 1986 - John Searfoss pitches a three-hit shutout to lead Jim Thorpe to a 3-0 Schuylkill League Division II victory over Lourdes. Searfoss allows just two walks and strikes out 12, including six of the final seven batters he faces. John Cooper leads the Olympians offensively with two hits and two runs. His first tally in the third breaks a scoreless tie, as he races home from third on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Pat Large. The winners, coached by Dave Malkin, also receive an RBI hit from Dave Brown during a three-run fifth inning.
