Davis Green of CHS baseball
The Red Raider baseball team used a solid defense and a tremendous pitching effort from Davis Green on Saturday to upset Blackman 1 to 0 in their final game of the Warrior Classic. The Red Raiders bounced back after suffering a pair of losses on Friday night. Timely hitting in the 7th inning and a strong relief appearance from Nathanial Tate in the bottom of the inning gave the Red Raiders their most complete victory of the season.
Despite getting only 2 hits in the game, Coffee County used 2 Blackman errors and a squeeze bunt from Green in the 7th inning to plate their lone run. Coffee County was retired in order in the first 3 innings before Chris Langham led off the 4th by getting hit by a pitch. Davis Green had a 2 out double in the 5th and Langham was hit by a pitch again in the 6th. In the 7th, the Raiders were able to put it all together as Tate led off with a single, after one out and a stolen base moved him to 3rd. Green then came to the plate and laid down a perfect bunt to score Tate and give Coffee County the only run of the game.
Coffee County will return to district play on Tuesday when Franklin County visits Powers Field for a 6 PM game. Thunder Radio will be on hand to bring you all the action as Lucky Knott will be on the call beginning with the pregame show at 5:50.
