Taking to the road for the first time this season, the Lady Raider softball team traveled to Shelbyville on Tuesday night to take on the Lady Eagles. With Brianna Jones fighting an illness, the Lady Raiders had to come from behind to get the 5 to 3 win. Shelbyville jumped out to a 3 to 0 lead before Coffee County battled back with 4 runs in the 4th inning and added an insurance run in the 5th. Jones, who went the distance, had 8 strikeouts on the night. Haley Hinshaw and Shelby Scrivnor led the hitting attack for Coffee County. Hindshaw rapped out 2 hits while Scrivnor drove in a pair of runs. With the win, the Raiders improved to 4 and 0 on the season and 3 and 0 in district play. The Lady Raiders are scheduled to travel to Columbia on Thursday night for a district matchup with the Lady Lions. 1st pitch will be at 6:00 PM at Columbia Central
