The Red Raiders squared off against their rivals from Tullahoma at Waggoner Park. In a game that saw no runs scored in the first 7 innings, Coffee Middle exploded for 4 runs in the 8th inning to grab a 4 to 0 rivalry win.
Coffee County had been held to 3 hits in the game entering the top of the 8th inning with the top of the order coming to bat. Kyle Farless led off with a hit and came around to score the first of 4 Raider runs as Tullahoma committed 3 errors and walked a pair of Coffee County batters. Braden Brown retired Tullahoma on 5 pitches in the bottom of the 8th to get the 8 inning, complete game shutout. Farless, Griffin Meeker, Lane Spry and Todd Watkins had the hits for Coffee Middle.
