CHS baseball player Nathanial Tate
A 3 run home run in the first inning sealed the fate of the Coffee County CHS baseball team last night as they fell to Marshall County 4 to 2. The contest, played at South Pittsburg, was the opening game for the Red Raiders in the Grundy County tournament.
The 3 run first inning, plus a single run in the 3rd inning, put the Raiders in a 4 to 0 hole. Coffee County scored single runs in the 5th and 6th innings but could not catch the Tigers.
Nathanial Tate led the Raiders in hitting with 2 singles and an RBI. Ryan Stephens had a single and an RBI and Bryson Hullett and A.J. Rollman scored Coffee County’s runs.
Saturday’s tournament game at Sequatchie County was rained out. The Raiders open up the final district series of the year on Tuesday in Winchester. Coffee County will take on Franklin County at the Gamble Sports Complex. First pitch is set for 6 PM.
