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

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.
Grubbs retired the first 12 batters before Tim Arms singled to lead off the fifth for Halls.
Bailey, who has 11 hits in 13 at-bats in tournament play, led Bearden with three hits. Rechenbach had a pair of doubles.

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.
