I tried finding their 1985 calendar in Google's cache, but can't seem to find it :)

Actually, Ferris' high school, Glenbrook North High School [1], is scheduled to get out on June 9th this year [2]. School calendars usually follow similar schedules over many years, so it's reasonable to assume that it had a similar schedule in 1985, making the last scheduled day either June 6th or 13th. Plus, snow days invariably cause the school year to go a few days longer.

#9If there was a foul bunt with two strikes then he would have struck out and not had a chance to hit that two run home run. Unless that particular rule has been added since 1985.
