Farragut overcame the Powell Panthers 12-2 in five innings on Tuesday after a 10-run explosion in the fifth inning.  The Admirals scored in the fifth on a bases loaded walk by Chase Fullington, an RBI single by Chase Chambers, an RBI single by Duncan Pence, an RBI single by Nico Mascia, a two-run double by Sam Schulze, a passed ball, an RBI single by John Painter, a walk by Roy  Mutta, and an RBI single by Chase Fullington.

Sam Schulze racked up three RBIs on two hits for Farragut Admirals Varsity.

Ben Rutter got the win as he tossed two-thirds of an inning of shutout ball. Ben struck out one, walked none and gave up no hits.  Thomas Keyes had a quality start for the Admirals, but exited the game with the score tied in the 5th inning.

Fortner was charged with the loss. He allowed six runs in zero innings, walked one and struck out none.

Neither team scored until the fourth when Powell got on the board. Powell scored on a two-run double by Kidd.

It didn’t take long for Farragut Admirals Varsity to answer as it scored two runs of its own in the fourth. Farragut Admirals Varsity scored on a sacrifice fly by Nico Mascia and an RBI single by Sam Schulze.

Winning the Region 2AAA Championship for the sixth consecutive year, earns the Admirals the right to host a Friday Sectional game versus the Sevier County/Dobyns-Bennett loser (Region 1AAA), with a State Tournament berth on the line.  The Sectional will be at 6:30 Friday at the Ballpark at Farragut.  Unfortunately, we will be unable to broadcast the game on radio.
