Farragut has enjoyed a ten-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will challenge the Halls Red Devils at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Farragut is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Knoxville Central a 4-0 shutout.
Elsa Morrison was excellent, going 1-for-3 with a home run. The team also got some help courtesy of Delaney Shrader, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, Halls entered their tilt with Maryville with six consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with seven. They had just enough and edged the Red Rebels out 1-0.
Maryville's batters probably weren't too happy with Emery Bales, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 15 Ks (she gave up no walks). Bales has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 22 consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Brianna Smith was excellent, going 1-for-3 with a home run.

Both the two teams just can't seem to miss. Farragut has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.1 hits per game. However, it's not like Halls struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 2.2. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Farragut skirted past Halls 3-1 in their previous meeting back in April of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Farragut since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
