Todd County Central 3rd-baseman Tanner Farmer drove in four runs and Jacob Brandon struck out ten batters to send the Rebels to a 14-1 13th-District victory over Russellville on Tuesday night.

Farmer tripled in a run in the 2nd and one of nine Russellville errors allowed another runner to score in the 3rd for a 9-0 Rebel advantage.
Two more runs came in on errors in the bottom of the 4th, and Farmer capped the scoring with an RBI single.
Brandon allowed an unearned run on three hits with a walk to pick up the win on the mound.
Eric Zamarripa took the loss for Russellville, working 3.1 innings and yielding 11 runs, nine earned, on eight hits with four walks and two strikeouts.
Farmer had three hits, Preston Rager, Dylan Baker, and Brandon each collected two, and Kearns drove in a pair of runs.
