PREP SPORTS SCOREBOARD: Thursday, March 10, 2022
In a game you heard live on Thunder Radio as part of the Peoples Bank & Trust Hometown Sports Series, Coffee Middle softball team pounded out 10 hits and every player in the lineup scored at least one run in a 13-1, run-rule shortened beating of visiting Harris Thursday, March 10 2022.
Lady Raiders Maggie Montgomery and Kayley Buckley each had singles and doubles and a pair of runs scored. Buckley knocked in 3 RBIs, with 2 of those coming in a big 6-run second inning for the Lady Raiders.
Buckley also picked up the win in the circle for CMS. She worked all 4 innings, allowing just one unearned run on three hits while striking out six Eaglette batters.
CMS closed the scoring and ended the game in the bottom of the fourth. With the bases loaded, Dani Hillis ripped the ball into leftfield and it skipped past the left fielder trying to play it in the air. Hillis motored around for an inside-the-park grand slam.
The Lady Raiders improve to 2-1 in CTC play with the win.
OTHER SCORES
Westwood softball 6, Liberty 7
Coffee Middle Soccer 1, Tullahoma 4
The Raiders trailed 4-0 before Cameron Pobanz found the back of the net for the Raiders Thursday afternoon in Manchester.
Coffee Middle Baseball 11, Harris 1
Coffee County drew 13 walks at the plate and busted the game open with 4 runs in the fourth and four more in the sixth to run-rule Harris Thursday night.
Austin Gipson drew four walks in the game, picked up a hit, an RBI and scored four times.
Caleb Crouch earned the win on the mound. He struck out 5 batters and allowed four hits over five innings of work. Landan Abellana worked a scoreless inning in relief.

times. She enjoyed working in her flower beds and was always sharing her
plants with folks. She loved animals, especially her horse, Lightning, and
