Kaylee Skipper pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the 5th inning surrendering a single run to lift the Coffee County Central High School Lady Raider softball to a 3 to 1 win on opening night at Terry Floyd Field. The win was the first in the Lady Raider career of new head coach Steve Wilder who came to Coffee County in June following the retirement of Terry Floyd. “It was a long time in coming, but any win in this district is a good win” said Wilder after the game. Coffee County, which scored 3 unearned runs, was held to 3 hits on the night. Kasarah Scheller, Ashlynn Morton and Raven Rogers strung together 3 consecutive hits in the bottom of the 5th inning to plate Coffee County’s 3rd run. Lauren Tomberlin scored twice on the night after reaching base 2 times via Shelbyville errors. Skipper had 8 strikeouts on the night surrendering a single earned run on 4 hits. “Kaylee was awesome tonight” gushed Wilder following the game as Skipper was named the Thunder Radio player of the game. The Lady Raiders will next be in action this weekend at the Commando Classic in Hendersonville. Coffee County is set to begin tournament action on Thursday against White House at 4:30 PM at Drakes Creek Park.
