Admirals adopt
team concept

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.
