Needing a win to earn a 3rd place seed in the upcoming CTC conference tournament, the CCMS baseball team got a strong offensive performance up and down the lineup along with a complete game from starting pitcher Harley Hinshaw on their way to a 7 to 2 win over Warren County.  The game, originally slated to be held at Warren County, was moved to Coffee County and the home dugout suited the Red & Gray just fine as four Red Raiders banged out a pair of hits and the defense was sterling.  Colton Kerber was 2 for 4 with a triple and stole home for Coffee County.  Andrew Mahaffey was 2 for 4 with a home run while Clayton Lowell and Cody Esslinger were 2 for 4 on the day.  Hayden Skipper and Hinshaw each added hits to avenge a 5 to 2 loss on Tuesday night which sullied the 8th Grade Appreciation ceremonies.  With the win, Coffee County will open conference tournament play on Thursday with a 5 PM game at White County High School.
