PARKINSON'S FUND-RAISER A SUCCESS

FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, THE ADMIRALS' BASEBALL TEAM HOSTED A "THROWBACK GAME" TO BENEFIT THE NATIONAL PARKINSON FOUNDATION.

FARRAGUT, FOUR-TIME DEFENDING CLASS 3-AAA STATE CHAMPIONS, PLAYED GIBBS AFTER OAK RIDGE AND KARNS BATTLED IN SPRING 2011.

DONATIONS BENEFITED THE NPF ALONG WITH MONEY RAISED BY A VARIETY OF VENDORS, SILENT AUCTIONS AND BAKE SALES. MORE THAN $2,400 WAS RAISED IN 2011 AFTER $2,000 WAS DONATED IN 2010.

THE EVENT WAS SPEARHEADED IN 2010 BY PAT DORWIN, A 1982 FHS GRADUATE WHO LED THE ADMIRALS IN A NUMBER OF OFFENSIVE CATEGORIES DURING FARRAGUT'S FIRST STATE TITLE RUN THAT YEAR, THE INITIAL OF EIGHT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WINS.

FARRAGUT WENT INTO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AT UT'S LOWER HUDSON FIELD WITH A 24-4 MARK AGAINST AN UNDEFEATED MEMPHIS CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CLUB (25-0). THE TEAMS SPLIT AN OPENING-DAY DOUBLEHEADER, SETTING UP A WINNER-TAKE-ALL FINAL ON MAY 26, 1982.

DORWIN STARTED A THREE-RUN UPRISING IN THE OPENING INNING WITH A SINGLE AND THE ADS WOULD HOLD ON FOR A 4-3 WIN, BECOMING THE FIRST KIL BASEBALL TEAM SINCE 1973 TO WIN A STATE TITLE. FARRAGUT'S SOFTBALL TEAM HAD GIVEN THE ADMIRALS THEIR FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN ANY VARSITY TEAM SPORT THE DAY BEFORE WITH A DOUBLEHEADER SWEEP.

DORWIN, 49, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH YOUNG-ONSET PARKINSON'S DISEASE IN 2003, HIS YOUNGEST BROTHER, PETE, CENTERFIELDER ON THE FIRST OF FOUR ADMIRAL STATE FINAL RUNNER-UP TEAMS IN 1988, WAS DIAGNOSED IN 2009 AT THE AGE OF 39.

"PETE'S AFFECTED ON HIS RIGHT SIDE, MY PROBLEMS ARE ON MY LEFT SIDE," SAID PAT DORWIN. THE BROTHERS WERE BOTH NAMED TO THE ALL-KNOXVILLE INTERSCHOLASTIC TEAMS THEIR SENIOR YEARS - PAT DORWIN LED HIS TEAM IN HITTING WITH A .420 AVERAGE FROM THE LEADOFF SPOT, WHILE PETE DORWIN MADE JUST A SINGLE ERROR IN TWO YEARS.

"EVENTUALLY, I'D LIKE TO SEE MANY AREA HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS HOLD FUND-RAISERS OF SOME SORT," SAID PAT DORWIN, WHO IS HOLDING FOUR YOUNG-ONSET PD FUND-RAISERS IN 2012, INCLUDING THE THROWBACK DOUBLEHEADER THURSDAY, APRIL 26 AT FARRAGUT WITH 5 P.M. AND 7:3O P.M. GAME TIMES.

EARLIER FUND-RAISERS WERE SCHEDULED AT PIGEON FORGE AND SEYMOUR HIGH SCOOLS. THE LAST BENEFIT IS SATURDAY, APRIL 28 AT ANDERSON COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE MAVERICKS PLAYING SCIENCE HILL AT 2 P.M.

"I'M SURE MANY FORMER BASEBALL PLAYERS COULD USE HELP OF SOME KIND," DORWIN SAID. "HOPEFULLY, THIS IS SOMETHING MANY BASEBALL TEAMS WILL TAKE PART IN - AS WELL AS FUNDRAISERS HELD IN OTHER SPORTS TO AID CURRENT AND FORMER PLAYERS."

PAT DORWIN LIVES IN SEVIERVILLE WITH HIS WIFE, ANGIE, SON, ELI, 9, AND DAUGHTER, ADDISON GRACE, 7, WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS MAY 26, THE DATE FHS WON ITS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. CONTACT DORWIN AT PATRUGB@ATT.NET OR 865-363-9014.

THE EVENTS ARE THE INITIAL PHASE OF DORWIN'S PROJECT 20/20 FOUNDATION, RAISING MONEY FOR THE AMERICAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION'S NATIONAL YOUNG-ONSET CENTER.

"I'D LIKE TO SEE 20 AREA HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAMS HOLDING FUND-RAISERS  BY THE YEAR 2020," HE SAID. "WE HOPE TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUNG-ONSET PARKINSON'S, SINCE THAT'S WHAT PETE AND I HAVE."

THE PAIR OF TRIPLES, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF DOUBLES AND FOUR RUNS DRIVEN IN AND SCORED, CAPPED OFF ONE OF HIS BEST OFFENSIVE GAMES.

Benefit game slated

FARRAGUT - Before you can "FlashForward" to the future, you have to "Throwback" to the past.

Such will be the case when the Admirals' baseball team takes on Oak Ridge at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 29, 2010, with Bearden and Karns playing at 5 p.m. In the hit ABC series "FlashForward," seen at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, the premise is the world's population falls unconscious for two minutes and 17 seconds, with many having dreams that look ahead to next April 29.

"The teams wear old-style uniforms, there is no admission charge and food is sold at greatly-reduced prices," said first-year Farragut coach Matt Buckner. "Proceeds will go to the National Parkinson Foundation. We have two former players in the Admiral family who have been diagnosed with the disease at a young age."

Brothers Pat and Pete Dorwin were speedy, All-Knoxville Interscholastic League outfielders on successful Farragut teams.

Pat Dorwin, now 45 years old, was the Admirals' leading hitter on Farragut's initial state-championship team in 1982. He was diagnosed with Early-onset Parkinson's disease in 2003. Pete Dorwin, 40 on Jan. 23, was the centerfielder on the 1988 state runner-up squad and was diagnosed in October 2009.

"It was pretty shocking when Pete was diagnosed as well," said Pat Dorwin, the Admirals' leftfielder and leadoff hitter. "He's affected on the right side of his body and my problems are on the left side, affecting my neck, hand and foot. We've gone from All-KIL to permanent DL.

"It's fairly devastating because at times the disease can really slow us down and we relied on our speed athletically. Pete and I both played competitive softball for a number of years (with middle brother Mike) and I was fast enough to last 15 years playing for the Knoxville Rugby Club as usually the shortest player on the field."

Organizers are currently accecpting checks made out to the National Parkinson Foundation and/or items donated for silent auctions that will happen during both games. Sponsors' names will be announced during the game and printed in the Farragut Press. There will also be food vendors.

Dr. Michael Rezak, writing on http://www.youngparkinsons.org/, says Parkinson's is a chronic, progressive neurological disease that affects a small area of nerve cells in the brain, that when working normally, coordinate smooth and balanced muscle movement. PD causes these nerve cells to die and can lead to the following symptoms:

* Tremors

* Muscle rigidity

* Bradykinesia (the slowing down of movement and the gradual loss of spontaneous activity)

* Changes in walking pattern and posture

* Changes in speech and handwriting

* Loss of balance and increased falls

There is no known cure.

Pat Dorwin became a stay-at-home dad in 2005 shortly after his son Eli, now 5, was born. He had worked for a decade as a reporter, editor and sports writer for a Sevier County newspaper.

"My wife Angie (a physical therapist at LeConte Medical Center) and I weren't sure how the disease would progress, so I wanted to spend as much time as possible with our children (daughter Addison Grace was born in 2006) at home in Sevierville," Dorwin said. "The disease has progressed enough that I have difficulty with balance, rising up from chairs, dystonias in my neck and hand, and cramps in my left foot.

"Things most people take for granted can become very difficult for me and my overall slowness means it takes me plenty of time to complete household tasks."

Between 10 percent and 20 percent of those diagnosed with Parkinson's are under the age of 50, according to the http://www.youngparkinsons.org/ Web site.

Author Ellen Burgoyne Hubrig, a Farragut resident for more than 20 years and past president of the FHS PTSO, has also had a close-up look at the disease as well, as her father and grandfather both had the disease.

Hubrig re-published the book "Daily Thoughts for Friendly Fellows" in October 2008. It was originally written in 1925 by her great-grandfather, Sydney John Burgoyne. The book has an inspirational verse of encouragement for each day of the year.

Hubrig began using the book in high school and has since updated it. She’s added a scripture verse to each day, an on-line forum and she donates part of the proceeds to the National Parkinson's Foundation. She'll sell copies of the book at the baseball game.

“I was thrilled when Pat called me to be a part of our first big event for the National Parkinson Foundation. We’ve donated over $1,000 in our first year and we look forward to a successful event working in conjunction with the FHS baseball team." Hubrig said. "We believe that the town of Farragut will come out to support this great cause. We also have a new product; “Seek the GOOD” wristbands where the proceeds also go to Parkinson’s. The creed of the Friendly Fellows is to Seek and Find the GOOD in others.”

For more information, see the http://www.friendlyfellows.com/ Web site. The Web site http://www.fhs1982statechamps.blogspot.com/ chronicles the first of six state baseball titles for the Admirals.

"In our championship season, we beat every team that had beaten us at some point in the season," Dorwin said. "We came into the best-of-three championship series at UT's Lower Hudson Field at 24-4 against a 25-0 Memphis Christian Brothers team."

The 1982 Admirals, coached by recent Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame inductee John Heatherly, were a team based on pitching and defense. Junior Jeff Glover went 15-1, the second-most single-season wins in state history (http://www.tbca.org/) and standout senior closer Mike Jordan recorded 14 saves, a state single-season mark.

Farragut and CBHS split the first-day doubleheader, with Glover pitching his allotted 10 innings in the two games.

On May 26 (Dorwin's daughter was later born on the same date), the Admirals scored three first-inning runs on the way to a 4-3 win and Farragut's first state championship. The left-handed hitting Dorwin opened the game with a sharp, two-hop grounder to the CBHS shortstop.

"My foot was just coming down on first base when I heard the ball hit the first baseman's glove," Dorwin said. "The ump called me safe and I knew right then and there we were going to win."

He said Pete's 1988 state runner-up team (the first of four FHS runner-up squads) had much more power than the 1982 group and a standout pitcher as well in Brian Foster.

"Pete's team could have won the state, too," Dorwin said. "Now, we have just one more foe to beat and it's a big one. Support of the Throwback games will certainly help."

Checks made out to the National Parkinson Foundation may be sent to Ellen Hubrig, 342 Mapletree Drive, Knoxville, TN 37934-0831. The deadline is April 28, the day before the game. Donations will also be accepted at the game.

E-mail Pat Dorwin at Patrugb@att.net if you have items for the silent auctions, which include two basketballs signed by Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt and a signed baseball and hat from the Philadelphia Phillies.

***

The throwback games were successful, raising more than $2,000 for the NPF. Thanks to Coach Buckner, Ralph Skinner, The Dugout Club and all those who volunteer their time to make the Farragut program the success it is.

***

Pat Dorwin would like to help run a Young Parkinson's Disease fundraiser in spring 2011, and interested coached can use the patrugb@att.net email address.

The 2011 Throwback Game to benefit the National Parkinson Foundation is scheduled for April 28.

Admirals Navigate to State Class AAA Title

By BILL LUTHER
News-Sentinel Sportswriter

It could not have been a sweeter ending to a high school athletic career for Jeff Sexton.
Sexton, Farragut’s designated hitter, strolled to the plate with two out in the fifth inning Wednesday. He was hitless in 10 at-bats in state tournament action.
The stocky Sexton, who missed early season play after knee surgery, doubled over Memphis Christian Brothers left-fielder Scott Elliott to drive in the decisive run in a 4-3 triumph on Lower Hudson Field that gave Farragut the Classs AAA baseball title.
The blow, misjudged by Elliott, scored Randy Huffaker from first and gave the Admirals a 4-1 lead. Reliever Mike Jordan weathered CBHS’ threats over the last four innings.
Farragut, which had never won a state title in any TSSAA-sanctioned team sport until the girls’ team copped the crown Tuesday, became the first school to capture baseball and softball championships in the same season.
It is the first state baseball title for a Knoxville Interscholastic League team since Central won in 1973.
"That was a heck of a way to go out," said Sexton. "At times I’ve hit the ball well but I’ve been in a slump most of the season. I had gotten down on myself but this one hit makes up a lot."
Jordan, who came on with runners on first and second and one out in the fourth, earned his fourth win against no losses to go along with his 14 saves, a state single-season record.
The senior right-hander allowed the four CBHS singles, striking out two and walking one.
After replacing Greg Schwartz, Jordan fanned Chris Pretti, but Mike Haag singled to load the bases.
He appeared to be out of the jam when Jay Rogers hit a high bouncer to third baseman Craig Schnupp. Tim Moran scored when Schnupp attempted to make the unassisted force at third and all runners were safe.
CBHS got its other runs in the fifth on a pair of hits and two errors. Jordan escaped without further damage when a suicide squeeze by the Purple Wave backfired and Mike Blackburn was out at home.
In the seventh, Jordan walked the leadoff hitter but stranded the tying run at third by getting Mike Hammett on a shallow fly to right.
Farragut jumped on CBHS starter Denver Dahlke for three runs in the top of the first. Speedy lead-off hitter Pat Dorwin beat the throw to first on a sharply hit two-hopper to shortstop Blackburn.
Or did he?
"My foot was just coming down on the bag when I heard the ball hit the first baseman’s mitt," Dorwin said. "I was out, but the ump called me safe and I heard the first baseman groan. I knew right then and there we we’re going to win."
The All-KIL outfielder moved around to third on a sacrifice and error, then scored on Bobby Gaylor’s RBI single. A force-out set up Schwartz’s two-run single to right and an early 3-0 Admiral lead.
The Admirals, winding up with a 26-5 record, got their eight hits off Dahlke (5-1) before Jay Rogers relieved in the sixth. CBHS went from unbeaten coming in to finish at 26-2.
"We got what we wanted (three-plus innings) from Schwartz," said John Heatherly, Farragut coach. "Greg is a real competitor ... He comes to play. I felt we might have a little edge in pitching even though they had some innings left in both starters from Tuesday."
Heatherly said, "We expected the squeeze. I knew it was coming. Jordan picked it up and threw high and tight too the batter (Pretti) and we executed. I also knew we had to get an early lead to take the bunt away from them."
"The suicide squeeze was the difference," said CBHS coach Robert Crone, who has taken teams to the finals three times without winning. "Just look at the scoreboard. You have to execute to beat a team like Farragut. You don’t make mistakes (the Wave had another runner picked off first base) and win against this caliber of competition. Denver (Dahlke) had some shoddy support."

Farragut wears state 
baseball crown with win

Admirals follow Heatherly’s plan

Winning the Class AAA state baseball championship was just a matter of following the direction set out by Farragut Coach John Heatherly at the start of the season.
"Coach told us if we played together as a team, we would win," said Mike Jordan, who came on in relief to nail down the Admirals’ 4-3 victory over Memphis Christian Brothers in the championship at UT.
"We’ve worked hard all year. We’ve played together. We followed Coach Heatherly’s plan. He was right."
Farragut’s team play was magnified in the "big one" without star pitcher Jeff Glover, who hurled Farragut to 15 wins during the season and was a workhorse on the mound throughout tournament play. With Glover, who pitched his allotted 10 innings in Tuesday’s doubleheader, watching from the sidelines, Admiral teammates more than picked up the slack.
Heatherly said Farragut’s game plan in the finale was. "to get ahead early, take away their bunting game and make sure outs. For the most part, we executed well.’
Herky Payne, Farragut assistant coach, said the Admirals’ title game brought back to mind Tennessee’s 3-2 loss to Oklahoma in the finals of the 1951 College World Series. "I was thinking today it’s so much sweeter to win it all than being the runnerup," said Payne, who was a second baseman on the ‘51 UT team. "This championship is great for Knoxville high school baseball.
Tom Schumpert, who guided Central to an 8-3 win over Tullahoma in the 1973 state finals, was among those in attendance. Heatherly was a catcher on Schumpert’s first baseball team at Central in 1967.

Admirals hold on for 4-3 win

By STEVE WILLIAMSJournal Sports Writer

Farragut High’s determined Admirals jumped out to a 3-0 first-inning lead and held off Memphis Christian Brothers’ late charge to capture the TSSAA Class AAA, 4-3, at UT’s Lower Hudson Field Wednesday.
The baseball crown was the second state title for Farragut in 24 hours. The Lady Admirals gave the school its first-ever state championship when they swept past Gallatin in the finals Tuesday.
Farragut Coach John Heatherly called his team "a bunch of battlers" just minutes after the title conquest. "This group would go and battle the New York Yankees and make it close."
"Right now I’m sort of in a daze," Heatherly added. "Winning the state title hasn’t hit me yet. But I’m sure it will flatten me later on when I realize what we have accomplished."
In giving the KIL its first state championship since Central took the title in 1973, the Admirals posted a glittering 26-5 record, coming back to deal defeats to every team that had beaten them: Jefferson County, Karns, Halls, Bearden and CBHS.
The Purple Wave, coming into the best-of-three championship series undefeated, bowed out with a 26-2 record.
Pat Dorwin led off the Admirals’ first with a single and Bobby Gaylor later drove him in. A clutch, two-out, two-run single by Greg Schwartz off CBHS starter Denver Dahlke staked Farragut to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. An error by CBHS third baseman Jay Rogers aided the Admirals’ early uprising.
Schwartz, Farragut’s starting pitcher, held the Memphians hitless for the first 3 1/3 innings but got himself in troubling by giving up six bases on balls, including two in the fourth. With runners on first and second and one out, Heatherly brought in senior relief specialist Mike Jordan to put out the fire.
Jordan, with 14 saves on the season, struck out Chris Pretti but was touched for singles by Mike Haag and Rogers as the Purple Wave cut the Farragut lead to 3-1.
The Admirals expanded their lead back to three runs in the fifth. David Mowery led off with a single. Two outs later, designated hitter Jeff Sexton’s shot to left was misjudged by left fielder Scott Elliott and dropped for a double, scoring Randy Huffaker, who had reached on a sacrifice.
Despite its 4-1 lead, Farragut nearly fell apart in the fifth. CBHS’s first four batters got aboard, two reaching on singles and two on errors in the Admiral infield. Mike Blackburn’s two-run single to right cut the gap to 4-3.
With runners on first and third and only one out, CBHS was looking for more., but Blackburn, trying to score on a suicide squeeze play, was tagged out when the CBHS batter failed to bunt the ball. It very well could have been the play of the game.
"After what we had seen in Tuesday’s games, we figured they would be bunting," Heatherly said. "Jordan threw high and hard when he caught the runner breaking for home out of the corner of his eye. Their batter backed out and we got the easy out."
"That play was the difference in the game," said Christian Brothers Coach Robert Crone. "When you get this far, you have to execute to win. You can’t make mistakes and expect to beat a team of Farragut’s caliber."
Rogers, CBHS’ ace pitcher, came on to blank the Admirals over the final two innings, but Jordan preserved Farragut’s one-run lead, twice stopping the Purple Wave with a runner in scoring position.
In the CBHS sixth, Rogers stroked a one-out single to left. Pinch-runner Vinnie Strong moved to second on Bubba Ryan’s sacrifice bunt. But Jordan got leadoff hitter Mike Bennett to ground to third to end the inning.
Jordan walked Scott Elliott to open the bottom of the seventh. Third baseman Craig Schnupp went into foul territory to catch Blackburn’s pop-up for the first out. Elliott stole second and went to third on Tim Moran’s groundout. With the potential tying run on third, Jordan got Mike Hammet to fly out to right to end the game.
"It was nerve wracking out there," winning pitcher Jordan admitted during the Admirals’ post-game celebration. "But winning this state title is the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life."

Admirals Carry Edge Into State Title Game

By BILL LUTHER

News-Sentinel Sportswriter

If there was an edge in the state Class AAA baseball championship, it was likely with Farragut.
The Admirals had the home crowd on Tennessee’s Lower Hudson Field. They could have had a slight advantage in Greg Schwartz, who was to open against Memphis Christian Brothers today at 3. Schwartz (3-1) is considered Farragut’s second-best pitcher while the Purple Wave countered with their No. 3 man, 5-0 Denver Dahlke.
Jeff Glover, with a two-hit, 2-1 win Tuesday, got the door unlocked in Farragut’s bid for its first-ever state crown. CBHS, a 25-game winning streak gone, bounced back for a 7-1 victory to force a decisive third game.
Glover, junior right-hander, struck out seven and walked three as the Admirals (25-5) pushed their winning streak to eight games.
Todd Dunning did not allow a hit for three innings, but gave up three runs in the fourth as CBHS rebounded. Glover came on in relief for three innings. The Purple Wave got to Mike Jordan for four runs in the fourth.
"I’m not second-guessing myself," said Admiral coach John Heatherly of his decision to bring on Glover in the nightcap with the bases loaded and no outs. "I wouldn’t throw him (Wednesday) because his arm always stiffens. If he was going to pitch 10 innings it was going to be today."
CHBS coach Robert Crone lauded Glover, saying, "he’s the best pitcher we’ve seen this year. Yes, I was surprised he was brought into the second game but I might have done the same thing. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see him if he’d been called in to protect a lead."
After a run scored, Chris Pretti’s one-out single brought in Mike Blackburn. The third run scored when Mike Haag beat the relay to first on what would have been an inning-ending double-play.
Rogers walked the bases loaded in the sixth but the Admirals had to settle for one run. They left the bases loaded in the sixth and seventh.
"We had our chance in the sixth," said Heatherly." We had a chance to tie or go-ahead."
"I felt strong after going 10 innings," said Glover. "I feel that I can pitch Thursday (if today’s game is postponed), but not at 92 miles per hour. If it comes to Thursday, I’ll just have to warm up and see how I feel."
The elbow on Rogers’ pitching hand was in an ice pack. "I’ve had tendon trouble," he said. "The heat was the big problem. I almost fainted in the third. My legs started to cramp, too. I didn’t feel a lot of pressure. I knew what I had to do."
Bob Black, athletic director at Fulton and a TSSAA-registered umpire, was called into be a standby umpire when Doug Roy of Chattanooga became ill between games. Roy, who has diabetes, worked behind the plate in the opener and completed the double-header on the bases.
In the opener, CBHS got its run in the first on a walk to Scott Elliott, a stolen base and Tim Moran’s sharp two-out single to right. However, Glover retired 13 straight hitters before walking Bubba Ryan to open the sixth. Ryan was out attempting to steal second base.
The Admirals tied the game in the third on Bobby Gaylor’s leadoff double of loser Michael Bennett, Schwartz’s bunt single and a passed ball. Gaylor launched the winning rally in the fourth with a leadoff single. Schwartz again singled and Sexton advanced the runners with a sacrifice. Randy Huffaker got Gaylor home with a sac fly to right.
Thw Wave threatened in the seventh. Mike Blackburn walked and was sacrificed to second. Mike Hammett’s long fly ball to left dropped for a double when Pat Dorwin fell down. Blackburn, however, was unable to score because he remained at second to tag up and advance to third after the anticipated out.
Glover shut the door by fanning Pretti and getting Haag on a grounder to second.
Dunning allowed only one base runner before running into trouble. Elliott and Blackburn singled. Dunnning tried to force Elliot at third on Moran’s sacrifice bunt and all runners were safe. That brought on Glover.

Farragut goes after title

B2 The Knoxville Journal Wednesday, May 26, 1882

Title game today at 3 at UT
Farragut, CBHS split

By STEVE WILLIAMSJournal Sports Writer
The entire season has boiled down to one game, seven innings, 21 outs ... winner take all.
Farragut and Memphis Christian Brothers square off for the TSSAA Class AAA state baseball title today at 3 at UT’s Lower Hudson Field after dividing the first two games of the championship series Tuesday.
Ace pitchers Jeff Glover of Farragut and Jay Rogers of Christian Brothers took turns in hurling their respective clubs to victories in the opening day action.
Glover (15-1) fired two-hitter and struck out seven as the Admirals handed the previously unbeaten Purple Wave a 2-1 setback in the opener. Rogers (10-0) came back to toss a two-hitter in the second game as the Memphians posted a 7-1 victory.
Even though the momentum swung toward CBHS (26-1) in the second game of the series, both coaches feel good about their chances heading into the finale.
"Even though we lost the second game, we’re not down," said Farragut skipper John Heatherly, whose Admirals are 25-5.
Said Christian Brothers Coach Robert Crone. "Each team went with their best (pitchers) and split. The title is up for grabs now."
Farragut junior Greg Schwartz (3-1) will oppose CBHS senior Denver Dahlke (5-0) in the championship. Both are left-handers and have seen little action since post-season tournament play began. The rubber match could turn out to be a high-scoring shootout.
Christian Brothers pushed across an unearned run to take a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener. Tim Moran’s two-out single to right field got past Schwartz, allowing Scott Elliott to scamper home uncontested.
Glover, adding still another gem to his dazzling junior campaign, retired the next 13 batters he faced, while the Admirals tallied single runs in the second and fourth to go ahead.
In the Farragut second, Bobby Gaylor led off with a double off losing pitcher Michael Bennett, went to third on Schwartz’ bunt single and raced home on a passed ball by Moran.
Gaylor and Schwartz got the Admirals rolling again in the fourth, leading off with back-to-back singles. Jeff Sexton moved both runners up with a sacrifice bunt and Randy Huffaker’s sacrifice fly plated Gaylor.
CBHS gave the Admirals a scare in the seventh. Glover walked Mike Blackburn to open the inning. After a sacrifice, Mike Hammett doubled to deep left, putting runners on second and third. Glover slammed the door by fanning Chris Pretti and getting Mike Haag to ground out to second.
Junior lefty Todd Dunning started the second game for Farragut and held the Memphians hitless through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth when the Purple Wave jumped out to a 3-0 lead.
The Admirals cut the margin to 3-1 in the sixth, but CBHS put the game away with a four-run explosion in the seventh.
Blackburn led Christian Brothers’ winning attack with two hits and two RBIs. Pretti and Bennett chipped in two hits apiece.
Rogers, who is high on South Alabama’s recruiting list, allowed only a bunt single by Huffaker through the first five innings. He had control problems (four walks in the sixth), but the Admirals failed to capitalize on his wildness, scoring only one run, that coming on Gaylor’s sacrifice fly.
"It wasn’t one of Jay’s better games," said Coach Crone. "The heat caused him to tire. But he was courageous. He showed a lot of heart."
Farragut’s Heatherly said: "We had some breakdowns in the seventh, but other than that we played six good innings of baseball. The kids seemed to get tired late in the game. I’m not at all disappointed with how we played."
CBHS’ Crone paid Glover a high compliment, saying, "He is the best pitcher we’ve seen this year by far."
Glover, who pitched three innings in the second game, has pitched his allotted 10 innings, and can not pitch in today’s title game.

Farragut attempts 'double'

B2 The Knoxville Journal Tuesday, May 25, 1982

Baseball, softball finals open today

Farragut goes after ‘double’

By STEVE WILLIAMS
Journal Sports Writer
Farragut High has never won a state championship in a TSSAA-sanctioned team sport. But today the school has a shot at capturing not one but two state titles.
The "double" could come in baseball and softball.
"This is an excellent way to end what has already been a good sports year for us," said Farragut principal James Bellamy. "We won district titles in football and basketball earlier. Winning both the state baseball and softball titles would be like a father having twins."
The Admirals (24-4) take on unbeaten Memphis Christian Brothers (25-0) in a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. at UT’s Lower Hudson Field. The Lady Admirals (26-1) host Gallatin (20-4) in a twinbill at 4:15 p.m. at Farragut.
Third games in the best two-out-of-three championship series will be played Wednesday, if necessary.
Farragut’s starting pitcher will be Jeff Glover, who has compiled a sparkling 14-1 record. Either Greg Schwartz (3-1) or Todd Dunning (4-1), both southpaws, could get the nod in the second game. Mike Jordan, senior relief specialist with 14 saves, will be waiting in the wings, if needed.
Memphis CBHS’s top three pitchers are Jay Rogers, Mke Bennett and Denver Dahlke.
The Lady Admirals will open with sophomore standout Missy Beard and junior Beth Chaney in the nightcap.
Both Farragut coaches, John Heatherly and Javonne Hall, expect the final step to the throne tough ones to make, but believe their teams have excellent chances of going all the way.
"I’ve had a good feeling about this team all year because they’ve got guts," Heatherly said after the Admirals eliminated Chattanooga Baylor in the semifinals last week. "I’ve seen these boys play so hard at times this season they actually had to helped to the car afterwards. When you put out that type of effort, play that hard, you’re going to win."
In the last two playoff games, the Lady Admirals knocked off two unbeaten teams - Morristown East and defending state champions Red Bank. Rhonda Snow (11 HRs) leads the team offensively.
Coach Heatherly says one of the key’s to his club’s success has been the strength of the lineup from top to bottom. "When the top of the lineup hasn’t come through, the bottom of the lineup has picked up the slack." Second baseman Kenny Woodhull, the team's leading hitter last season, bats in the ninth slot.
Admiral third baseman Craig Schnupp said he heard Heatherly tell assistant coach Herky Payne that Pat Dorwin is the "best leadoff hitter I have seen - at any level." Dorwin, a senior leftfielder and All-KIL, leads Farragut with a .425 average and topped the club in hits, runs, walks, stolen bases and on-base percentage.

Farragut Goes After State Baseball Crown

By BILL LUTHER
News-Sentinel Sportswriter

Pat Dorwin isn’t being cocky when he says Farragut can give the Knoxville Interscholastic League its first basebal championship since Central won in 1973.
Dorwin’s plan is simple: "Keep playing the way we have the last eight or 10 games."
The Admirals (24-4) hook up with Memphis Christian Brothers (25-0) Tuesday at Lower Hudson Field in the Class AAA best-of-three series. The opener of a double header is at 1.
Farragut’s Jeff Glover (14-1) will oppose Jay Rogers (9-0) or Mike Bennett (6-0).
Dorwin, All-KIL and leading Farragut hitter with a .440 average, insists the Admirals have jelled at the right time.
"When the season started, I thought we’d have a pretty good team," he said. "We got a good start but slumped in the middle of the season. We seemed to peak just at tournament time.
"We can win if we keep playing the kind of baseball we have since the tournaments started. Coach says they (CBHS) are a lot like Bearden and that they have an excellent catcher, four good hitters and good pitching."

Admirals’ Fireman Jordan Extinguishes Raiders

By BILL LUTHER
News-Sentinel Sportswriter

If Farragut fans begin referring to Mike Jordan as Mr. Fireman, it is well deserved. The Admiral senior righthander keeps responding to each call. He couldn’t have been any sharper in save No. 14.
Jordan needed only nine pitches to preserve a 3-0 victory for Jeff Glover over Baylor Thursday on Lower Hudson Field and send Farragut into the state Class AAA championship series.
The Admirals will play Memphis Christian Brothers or Nashville McGavock, who were rained out and will play tonight.
The best two-of-three finals will open Tuesday with a double-header at Tennessee. If a third game is necessary, it will be played Wednesday.
It marks the first time a Farragut team has reached the finals in any sport. Farragut’s girls are in the AAA softball title round.
Jordan (3-0) came on with no outs, a runner on first and a 3-0 count on Raider Doug Manley.
He fanned Manley on a 3-2 pitch. Catcher Randy Huffaker made a sensational catch, falling into the Baylor dugout, on Greg Newsom’s pop foul for the second out. Jordan then struck out Alan Carmichael.
"I’ve never been called into a game in a tougher situation," said Jordan. "Those were the biggest three outs I’ve had. My heart was jumping and my stomach was full of butterflies. I came in there to throw strikes and I grooved them. I threw nothing but fast balls.
"Sometimes, it is frustrating coming out of the bullpen," Jordan, who hasn’t made a start, said. "Today, I enjoyed it. I was ready because Coach told me he was going to bring me in if Jeff began to stiffen."
Glover, shaky at the start, ended up allowing only three hits to a Baylor team coming off an 18-run outburst in the quarterfinals. Glover got out of a bases-loaded jam in the first by fanning Archie Smith and Rich Panner.
"Jeff’s arm is the most important thing," said Admiral coach John Heatherly. "I watch him closely. When his arm begins to stiffen, I don’t hesitate to pull him. Jeff wasn’t sharp, but he showed a lot of guts pitching out of a couple of spots early."
Farragut (24-4) scored in the sixth. Shortstop Bobby Gaylor led off with a single and took second as Jeff Sexton grounded out on a swinging bunt. Greg Schwartz got Gaylor home with a sharp single to right.
In the seventh, loser Greg Smith (6-1) retired Kenny Woodhull and then Pat Dorwin, who had already gone three-for-three. David Mowery and Huffaker then singled and the Raider defense became unglued. Third baseman Panner couldn’t handle Gaylor’s hard smash and Mowery scored. A throwing error by shortstop Newsom on Sexton’s grounder allowed Gaylor to score.
The Admirals wasted a Craig Schnupp triple in the second and left two runners in the first and fifth.
Besides the first inning, Baylor (22-3) had runners in scoring position in the second, third and fourth but Glover wiggled off the hook each time. The loss halted a 12-game winning streak.
"That was a super job by their relief pitcher," declared Gene Etter, Baylor coach. "I thought we’d be in good shape when Glover left the game. You have to figure you’re in good shape when a guy like him goes out. You have to feel this is the chance you’ve been waiting for."
It marked the third time in four years Baylor has lost in the semifinals. "I guess that’s got something to do with the strength of teams in this area," said Etter. "They seem to be stronger. Farragut’s pitchers were better than we had heard."

State quarterfinals

B4 The Knoxville Journal Tuesday, May 18, 1982

Farrragut starts fast, hangs on for win

MORRISTOWN - Knox Farragut erupted for a fast 7-0 advantage, then squelched a late Morristown East comeback to best the Hurricanes 8-6 in the TSSAA Class AAA state quarterfinals at Sherwood Park Monday night.
Trailing 8-4, the Hurricanes’ Kevin Emert and Tony Hayes worked Farragut reliever Mike Jordan for walks to lead off the seventh. David Bewley’s single pushed across Emert and Hayes came around on a single by Charles Cole before Jordan got Jamie Elliott to bounce into a game-ending double-play, stranding the potential tying runs on the corners.
Farragut hosts Chattanooga Baylor in Thursday’s semi-final pairing at Tennessee’s Lower Hudson Field. Baylor thrashed Columbia 18-2 to advance,
The Admirals made most of their noise early. In the Farragut second, a walk to Bobby Gaylor, a run-producing infield hit by Craig Schnupp and Bill Clements’ two-run blast staked winning pitcher Jeff Glover to a fast 3-0 lead.
In the third, the Admirals padded the cushion to a seemingly comfortable 7-0 margin, scoring four times on only two hits. Pat Dorwin reached on an error, David Mowery walked and Gaylor was walked intentionally walked following a sacrifice. Dorwin dashed home on Emert’s wild pitch, Greg Schwartz squeezed across Mowery with a single, Schnupp lofted a sacrifice fly and Clements capped the outburst with his second hit.
Jordan replaced Glover in the sixth after the Admiral ace had breezed through the early going. Glover, a 13-1 junior, no-hit the Hurricanes through the first four innings.
Elliott snapped the drought with a single to open the fifth. Glover lost his shutout bid when Brian Keller followed with a single and Robbie Wampler’s sacrifice fly plated Elliott. Emert walked in front of Tony Hayes who unloaded a bases-clearing triple to pull East within 7-3.
Singling in the seventh, Schwartz knocked in Gaylor with an insurance marker to make it 8-6.
Emert was tagged with the loss as East winds up 26-10.

Vol Signees Snyder, Searcy selected All-KIL

By NICK GATESNews-Sentinel Sportswriter


Tennessee signees Mark Snyder of Bearden and Steve Searcy of Central head The News-Sentinel’s 1982 Knoxville Interscholastic League baseball team.
West’s Roger Travis was selected Coach of the Year.
Coaches and college recruiters aided in the selection of the 16-man squad. Bearden and Farragut - region semifinalists - and Halls dominated with three selections each.
Snyder, who was signed by Vol coach John Whited as a pitcher, was chosen as a first baseman because an injury limited his pitching appearances during the regular season. But once the hard-throwing right-hander took to the mound, he reeled off six wins, including a no-hitter against Clinton in the district tournament,
Snyder, who is expected to be a high pick in the upcoming free agent draft, batted .412 and cracked a school-record six home runs.
Searcy, a left-hander, also fired a no-hitter against Clinton in the district tourney, but unfortunately, the Bobcats stranded 13 runners and bowed. He was 7-1 during the regular season.
Joining Searcy on the all-star staff are Farragut 12-game winner Jeff Glover, Eddie Bloomer of Halls and Karns’ Jamie Bolinger.
The once-beaten Glover hurled the Admirals to the region championship. Bloomer was 7-0 and batted more than .400 during the regular season. The fire-balling Bolinger, who also hit over .400, carried the Beavers to one of the KIL’s best regular-season marks at 15-3.
Infielders selected were Halls second baseman Harold Carter, Farragut shortstop Bobby Gaylor and third baseman Chris Heffernan of Catholic.
Carter hit .371 and smashed six homers for the Red Devils, who carved a 20-3 regular-season record - best in the KIL. The slick-fielding Gaylor, who hit .350, was chosen MVP of the district tournament. He was three-for-four with a home run in the championship game win over Halls.
Heffernan, another sure-handed fielder, was a big stick for the Irish’s region runner-up.
The catching position was too close to call, so two were picked - Halls’ Tim Arms and Todd Rechenbach of Bearden. Arms slugged a school-record eight home runs and has junior college coaches drooling. Rechenbach, who also possesses a strong arm, has signed with East Tennessee State University.
Bearden’s Neil Mary was chosen as designated hitter. Mary was among the KIL’s top 10 hitters with a .402 average. Sophomore Kevin Davis, Gibbs shortstop who led the KIL in hitting with a .568 average, was picked as a utility infielder.
Selected as outfielders were Holston’s fleet Churchill Moore, dependable Pat Dorwin of Farragut, Fulton’s Buddy Turner and Wynn Greene of Gibbs.
Moore was instrumental in the Warriors finishing second in the district tournament. Dorwin (.425) and Turner led their clubs in hitting.
Travis did a masterful job in turning around the Rebels in one year. In 1981 West was a doormat. West posted a 11-9 regular season record, finished fourth in the district and won the Dogwood Invititational.
Others considered for the honor were Jewel Brock of Halls, Catholic’s John DeBakker and John Heatherly of Farragut.

Admirals capitalize on errors, win 8-3

Farragut moves on to state quarterfinals

By STEVE WILLIAMS
Journal Sports Writer
_____________________________________________________________________________
Bearden self-destructed and Farragut’s opportunistic Admirals picked up the pieces for an 8-3 win over the error-prone Bulldogs in the Region 2-AAA baseball championship game Thursday at UT’s Lower Hudson Field.
The victory vaulted Farragut (22-4) into the TSSAA State Quarterfinals. The Admirals will go on the road Monday to play Morristown East, a 2-1 winner over Jonesboro Crockett, in the Region 1-AAA finals. Farragut and Morristown East (26-9) will clash at Morristown’s Sherwood Park at 7:30 p.m.
Bearden, leading 2-0, came apart in the fourth, committing four errors in the nightmarish inning and falling behind 5-2. They never recovered. For the game, the Bulldogs, who hang up a 23-9 record, were guilty of seven errors. Six of Farragut’s runs were unearned.
"This was a super win for us," said Farragut Coach John Heatherly. "Our kids kept the pressure on them. We bunted well and ran the bases well. It took its toll on them."
Bearden skipper Gary Mahoney said he hated to see the season end on such a sour note.
"We kicked the ball all over the infield. Farragut has too good of a team to do that. We had played well in the tournament up until today. But I bet we made more errors in this one game than we had made in the past 12 or 13 games.
Farragut collected only five hits off Bearden pitchers Mark Snyder and Greg Williams, but little Craig Schnupp swung a big bat for the Admirals. The 5-6, 145-pound junior walloped a 370-foot two-run homer off the 6-5, 220-pound Snyder that tied the game early in Farragut’s big fourth inning explosion.
"I wasn’t thinking home run," admitted Schnupp, who had not hit a HR this season. "I was just trying to get a hit. The home run surprised me."
Jeff Glover went the distance to claim the mound win, his 12th against one loss. He scattered 10 hits and struck out eight. "He showed a lot of guts out there for a junior," said Heatherly.
Neil Mary went three-for-four to lead Bearden at the plate. Schnupp also doubled and Pat Dorwin had two hits as well for the Admirals.
The Bulldogs struck for two unearned runs after two outs in the third inning to take a 2-0 lead. Jimmy Bailey singled and scored on Mary’s double when Admiral catcher Randy Huffaker dropped the ball before making the tag on Bailey at the plate. Snyder followed with a single to drive in Mary.
Snyder, UT signee and regarded highly by pro scouts, did not allow a hit through the first three innings. The Bulldog ace struck out David Mowery to open the fourth but catcher Todd Rechenbach let the ball get past him and first baseman Freddie Grubbs couldn’t handle the throw, allowing Mowery to get aboard. It was a sign of things to come.
Schnupp followed with his homer to even the score at 2-2. Three consecutive errors by Bearden infielders followed. A wild pitch allowed Bob Gaylor to score. Bill Clements’ perfect suicide squeeze allowed Greg Schwartz to score. A single to shallow centerfield by Kenny Woodhull brought home Jeff Sexton.
"That inning was the ball game," Mahoney pointed out afterwards.
A double by Snyder and a triple by Jimbo Hodge cut the Farragut margin to 5-3 in the fifth, but Bearden continued to experience problems in the field as the Admirals pushed across two more unearned runs in the fifth to go up 7-3. Williams’ pickoff attempt at second base sailed into centerfield, allowing Schwartz and Sexton to race home.
Mowery doubled in Dorwin in the sixth for Farragut’s final run. Bearden failed to advance a runner past second base against Glover in the final two innings.
The Admirals will be the home team in the state semifinals and finals, should they advance that far.

Admirals Sail by ‘Dogs

By BILL LUTHER
News-Sentinel Sportwriter


Some might have thought the pressure was on Jeff Glover. The Farragut right-hander didn’t see it that way as he fired the Admirals past Bearden Thursday and into the state Class AAA playoffs.
"The pressure, I think, was on Mark (Snyder)," said Glover following the 8-3 triumph on Tennessee’s Lower Hudson Field. "Mark is the senior. He is the one supposed to throw a no-hitter."
Glover, who logged his 12th win in 13 decisions, wasn’t without some anxious moments.
"I was shaky at the start and they hit the ball hard twice in the first inning," he said. "You don’t go against Knoxville’s best pitcher (Snyder) every day. I relied mostly on my fast ball but I threw some junk up there, too. Bearden’s the best hitting team I’ll see this year."
With Glover scattering 10 hits, striking out eight and walking only one, the 22-4 Admirals struck for five runs in the fourth inning when Bearden self-destructed on four errors.
After Snyder sailed through the first three innings, David Mowery reached first base on an error by Fred Grubbs, who dropped catcher Todd Rechenbach’s throw after Rechenbach had misplayed a third strike.
Craig Schnupp, diminutive third baseman, then belted a Snyder fast ball more than 360 feet to right centerfield, tying the score at 2-2.
Bearden’s defense then fell apart as shortstop Greg Bohannon threw high on Bobby Gaylor’s grounder, third baseman Jimmy Bailey couldn’t handle Greg Schwartz’s sacrifice bunt and Grubbs couldn’t handle Bailey’s throw on another sacrifice attempt by Jeff Sexton to load the bases.
Gaylor scored on a wild pitch, Bill Clements squeezed in Schwartz, and Kenny Woodhull’s single plated Sexton. The Admirals got two more unearned runs in the fifth after Greg Williams relieved Snyder. Mowery doubled home Pat Dorwin for Farragut’s final run in the sixth.
Bearden’s 2-0 lead came in the third on Bailey’s two-out single, Neil Mary’s double just inside third base, an error and Snyder’s single.
"We kept the pressure on them in the big inning," said winning coach John Heatherly. "I have all the respect in the world for that club. Schnupp’s homer was the turning point."
Gary Mahoney, whose team closes at 23-9, called the error to open the Farragut fourth the most crucial play. "From that point on, we kicked it around an awful lot," he said. "But Farragut is playing well. You have to have a good team to win 20 in high school."
Snyder, who faced only 10 batters in the first three innings, took himself off the mound. "Mark was just tired," said Mahoney. "There was nothing wrong with his arm."
Schnupp and Dorwin each had two hits for Farragut. Mary went three-for-four for Bearden and Snyder and Grubbs hit safely twice.

Bulldogs' defense jells

Shuffle Works for Bearden

By BILL LUTHER
News-Sentinel Sportswriter


Gary Mahoney was worried at mid-season. Bearden had lost five in a row after starting 10-0. The record sagged to 14-8.
The coach was so concerned he shuffled four players for defensive reasons. The Bulldogs haven’t been the same since. They’ve won nine straight.
As the District 4-AAA champions head into Thursday’s Region 2 championship game with Farragut at Tennessee’s Lower Hudson Field, Mahoney says his team is playing its best ball.
It could develop into a dream game. Both coaches expect to go with their pitching aces - 6-0 Mark Snyder for Bearden and 11-1 Jeff Glover for Farragut. Bearden has a 23-8 record, Farragut 21-4.
"It was like having Cadillac parts and not knowing how to put them together," said Mahoney of Bearden’s mid-season slump. "I knew we had the players. It was just getting them into the right spots. We were committing seven or eight errors a game, not including the mental ones. Our poor play was unbelievable."
The coach moved Jimmy Bailey to third, Greg Bohannon to short, Greg Williams to right and Jimbo Hodge to center.
"It wasn’t a question of one player going into a slump. It was the whole team. Once we made the moves, everything fell into place."
Bailey, son of former major-league catcher Ed, has been the hottest of the Bulldogs, the coach said.
"Jimmy has been sensational hitting the ball," Mahoney declared. "Since we started tournament play he’s 11 for 13 and should be 12 of 13. He’s moved past Mark (Snyder) and Neil Mary in hitting (.438)."
Mahoney expects the title game to turn into a pitching duel "because at this stage of the season that usually happens. This won’t be a game for either team to fall behind four or five runs."

Admirals adopt
team concept

By STEVE WILLIAMS
Journal Sports Writer

Teamwork has been the key to Farragut’s success on the diamond this spring.
So says Farragut Coach John Heatherly, who sends his Admirals (21-4) against Bearden (23-8) in the Region 2-AAA championship game today at 5:30 p.m. at UT’s Lower Hudson Field.
"This team has played unselfishly," the Admiral skipper pointed out. "It has jelled perfectly. Our success has been the result of hard work by each member of on the team and that’s the way it should be since baseball’s a team sport."
Junior standout Jeff Glover, who sports an 11-1 record, will get the call against the Bulldogs in today’s showdown. His statistics include 98 strikeouts and a 1.40 earned run average.
Senior leftfielder Pat Dorwin tops Farragut’s hitters with a .425 average. Bobby Gaylor, senior shortstop, is considered a prospect. He is batting .350 with 21 RBIs. Senior relief specialist Mike Jordan has also played an important role for the Admirals, coming on in the late innings time and time again to earn 12 saves.
Unbeaten Mark Snyder (6-0) will be on the mound for Bearden. The UT signee is high on the list of many scouts. He stopped the Admirals on three hits - he gave up a double and single to Dorwin - with a 7-0 win in the Oak Ridge Invitational, striking out 16 in the only meeting of the season between the two west Knoxville powers.

Region semifinals

B2 The Knoxville Journal Tuesday, May 11, 1982

Farragut, Bearden
to battle each other

Jimmy Bailey continues to swing a hot bat for Bearden’s baseballers.
The Bulldogs third baseman smacked a double into right-centerfield to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning in Bearden’s 5-4 victory over Halls in Region 3-AAA action at UT’s Lower Hudson Field Monday.
Bailey, who also had a triple and a single, is on a hot streak. He has hit safely in 11 of of his last 13 times at bat, including eight straight in last week’s District 4-AAA tourney.
In the other Region 3-AAA first-round game at Doyle, winning pitcher Jeff Glover struck out 15 batters in six innings and Craig Schnupp collected two hits and two RBI to lead Farragut past Clinton 4-1.
Pat Dorwin had three stolen bases and scored two runs for the Admirals. Patrick Cotter got two of the Dragons’ three hits.
Bearden (23-8) will meet Farragut (21-4) in Thursday’s Region 2-AAA championship game at UT.
Bearden took an early 1-0 lead lead on Todd Rechenbach’s two-out triple.
Bulldog starter Fred Grubbs hurled perfect ball through the first four innings.
The Red Devils went ahead 4-1 in the sixth.
The Bulldogs battled back as Bailey clouted a triple to open the sixth. Neil Mary followed with a RBI single in the gap between third and short. Following Mark Snyder’s deep sacrifice fly to center, Hodge tripled and Rechenbach doubled home Hodge to tie the score.
Ray LaBelle tripled to leadoff the Halls’ seventh, but the Red Devils failed to score.
Mickey Snyder opened the Bearden seventh with a walk. Greg Williams’ bunt was thrown into centerfield to put runners on first and second and set up Bailey’s fame-winning two-bagger.
Snyder’s mound win was his sixrth straight without a loss.

Bulldogs Bounce Back, Douse Devils in 2-AAA


Bearden keeps getting the timely hitting and pitching.
Jimmy Bailey, Jimbo Hodge and Todd Rechenbach came through with big hits and unbeaten Mark Snyder notched his sixth win, in relief, Monday as the Bulldogs edged Halls, 5-4, in the Region 2-AAA playoffs.
Bailey doubled home Mickey Snyder in the bottom of the seventh inning at UT’s Lower Hudson Field. Hodge tripled in one run and Rechenbach doubled home the tying marker in the sixth after the Red Devils had taken a 4-1 lead.
For Bearden, which will meet Farragut Thursday in the title game, it was win No. 23 against eight losses.
Mark Snyder came on in relief of starter Fred Grubbs in the sixth. After Ray LaBelle tripled to lead off the seventh for Halls, Snyder pitched out of the jam on a groundout and a double play as the Red Devils attempted to squeeze home the tying run.
Mickey Snyder walked to lead off the Bearden seventh. Greg Williams sacrificed and both runners were safe when the throw to second went into centerfield. Bailey then doubled on a 1-2 pitch.
Bailey’s triple. Neil Mary’s single, Hodge’s triple and Rechenbach’s double got the Bulldogs’ sixth-inning runs.
Halls’ markers came on Harold Carter’s RBI single that tied the game 1-1, another single and three-base error.

Admirals Down Dragons

If it looked easy for Farragut’s Jeff Glover Monday night, then that’s probably because it was.
Glover handcuffed Clinton on four hits and struck out 15 Dragons as the Admirals won, 4-1, in the Region 2-AAA playoffs at Doyle. The 15 strikeouts are one shy of Glover’s season high, which he recorded three weeks ago in the Oak Ridge Invitational.
A run-scoring double by Bill Clements in the second inning proved to be the game-winner for Farragut. The two-bagger scored Greg Schwartz. The Admirals added a pair of runs in the fifth, one coming on a single by Craig Schnupp, the other on an error. For the game Schnupp was two-for-three with a stolen base and two RBI.
Farragut’s Pat Dorwin walked three times, stole three bases and scored two runs.
The Admirals (21-4) play Bearden Thursday.

Iron man keys Admiral wins

Iron man Jeff Glover turned in two outstanding pitching performances to keep Farragut alive in the District 3-AAA tournament Wednesday at Doyle.
Glover pitched a two-hitter as the Admirals nipped Karns 3-2, then hurled one-hit ball in the first three innings of an 11-1 rout over Halls.
The 23-4 Red Devils could have claimed the district title by beating Farragut (19-4). The Red Devils get another shot at the Admirals and the 3-AAA crown tonight at 7. Both teams now have one loss in the double-elimination tourney.
Randy Huffaker had two hits while Jeff Sexton two RBI in the win over Karns.
The Admirals jumped out to a 3-0 first-inning lead over Halls as Pat Dorwin led off the game by slamming a triple off the left-field scoreboard.
"We were kind of surprised they didn’t start Ray (Labelle)," Dorwin said. "With David (Mowery), Craig (Schnupp) and I, we can bring up three left-handed hitters to start the game."
As it was, the left–handed throwing Labelle stayed in centerfield while righthander Harold Carter moved in from second base to the mound. He gave up a single run in the second and two more in the third to help give Farragut’s Glover the rest of the night off.
Admiral reliever Todd Dunning allowed three hits over the final four innings.
Mowery laced four hits, first baseman Bill Clements had three hits including a homer and Greg Schwartz chipped in two hits.
Halls had put Farragut on the brink of elimination after the Admirals started the tourney with two wins. The Red Devils erased a 4-0 deficit to post a 6-4 win.
