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.
