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."
