Farragut had a thriller tonight in the Jacket Classic held at Middlesboro, KY. The Admirals faced a very good Louisville Male team. Collegiate Baseball has had Male ranked #14 and Farragut #11.
It was a pitcher's duel between Male's Scott Green and Farragut's Kyle Waldrop. Farragut wins in 8 innings 1-0. The only extra base hit of the game was Scott Dean's game winning homerun in the top of the 8th. A shot to center field! Dean also gunned out runners on attempted steals of second in the 2nd and 4th innings. A great game by Scott! Green struck out 8 Farragut batters, 0 walks and 3 hit batters on 120 pitches. Waldrop struck out 11, 0 walks with 2 hit batters, throwing 77 pitches.
Farragut had 11 hits and stranded 12 baserunners. Waldrop gave up singles in the 1st 2 innings and then no other hits until a single in the 7th. Male finished with the 3 hits and only had one runner reach second, that in the first inning.
Great test for the Admirals. A game like this will only help them down the road.
