Wednesday night’s baseball game between Tullahoma and Coffee County was moved up from a 6 PM start to 5 PM in an attempt to avoid the threat of rain.  The one storm the Red Raiders did NOT want to see took place in the 6th inning when the visiting Wildcats plated 6 runs to lift them to a 10 to 4 win and a season sweep of Coffee County. The Raiders took an early lead in the game when Nathaniel Tate singled and ended up scoring on a double steal in the 2nd inning to give the Raiders a...

The red-hot Dustin Pedroia laced two homers, including a grand slam high off of Pesky’s Pole in right field, to lead the Red Sox to a 9-4 victory over the Braves on Wednesday night at Fenway Park. Red Sox Sox manager John Farrell thinks Pedroia might have even called the landing spot of the slam in mid-sprint. “I think he might have even been screaming, ‘Pesky’s Pole!’ rounding first base in hopes he’d clip it,” Farrell said. Steven Wright (2-2, 1.37 ERA) pitched brilliantly, allowing three hits and one earned run over seven innings while striking out eight. The...
