Narrative:

Air carrier X departed runway 27L and issued a heading of 250 degree. Air carrier Y (B73S) departed runway 27L and issued runway heading. Y checked on departure using wrong frequency. Y was given correct frequency and he subsequently checked on. I observed Y on a southwest heading quickly overtaking air carrier X. I issued Y an immediate right turn to 270 degree and X an immediate left turn to 180 degree. After checking with Y several times, he admitted the tower local controller issued a runway heading after departure. Y 'messed up' and inadvertently put in the wrong heading on their bug.
