Coffee County Drops District Contest to Shelbyville

Skylar Bratcher of Coffee County CHS baseball

The Coffee County CHS baseball team kicked off a district series with Shelbyville on Tuesday night at Powers Field.  In a game you heard here on Thunder Radio,  the Red Raiders opened up an early lead only to see Shelbyville roar back to take the win.  The Eagles won by a final score of 6 to 3.

The Red Raiders opened up the game with runs in each of the first 2 innings to lead 2 to 0 heading to the 3rd.  In the 3rd inning, Shelbyville rallied for 4 runs to take over control of the contest.  Skylar Bratcher had 3 singles to lead the hitting attack as he drove in 1 run and scored once to earn the Crazy Daisies player of the game award.  Kael McCall had a single and a double and also drove in a run.

The Red Raiders will travel to Shelbyville on Wednesday night for Game #2 in the series.  First pitch is set for 5:30 PM.
