CHS left fielder Zach Wise at bat in Shelbyville from earlier in the season
A 2 run home run in the top of the 7th inning and an RBI fielder’s choice in the top of the 9th for Columbia lifted the Lions to a 5 to 4 come from behind victory over Coffee County on Wednesday night at Powers Field. The loss spoiled a tremendous pitching performance by Trace Friedlein. Friedlein got the start for the Raiders and threw 6 strong innings giving up 3 hits and 2 runs with 7 strikeouts. The Raiders did not go down without a fight as they got runners in scoring position in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings but could not get the game winning hit. Friedlein, Zack Wise, Gavin Husted and Deandre Wakefield all had 2 hits for Coffee County as Zach Holmes, Wakefield and Husted had doubles on the night. Wise was named the Gateway Tire and Service Center player of the game as he added an RBI in the Raiders 3 run 4th inning and an outfield assist in the 6th inning
