Jalen Morris at bat for CCMS
Coming off a heart-breaking 10 inning loss to Harris on Monday night, the Coffee County Middle School baseball team scored runs in 6 of the 7 innings of Tuesday night’s game as they dumped the Eagles 14 to 3. Coffee County got on the board first when Jalen Morris ripped a triple to right-center field and scored on a Hayden Skipper groundout. The Eagles cut the deficit to 5 to 3 in the 3rd inning, but a 4 run 6th inning out the game out of reach. Garret Davis recorded the win for the Raiders on the mound as he allowed three runs over 5 innings. Davis struck out six and walked walked four. Morris and Skipper each finished with 3 hits for Coffee County and Brandon Jernigan added a solo home run for the Raiders.
