Davis Green
Coffee County battled back from a 2 run deficit to earn a sweet 5 to 3 come from behind win over Columbia on Wednesday night on the road. In the process, the Red Raiders earned some sweet revenge for a disappointing Tuesday night loss to the Lions and they earned a split of their 3rd district series this year. The win also helped Coffee County even their record at 5 and 5 in district play and place the Raiders in the heat of a logjam for 2nd place in the district standings. Davis Green continued his strong pitching string as he earned the win on the bump. The junior allowed 3 runs in 6 innings as he struck out 2 and scattered 7 hits. Noah Anderson came on in relief in the 7th to tack down the big win for Coffee County. Deandre Wakefield laced a pair of doubles with 1 RBI to lead Coffee Co in hitting. Jacob Langham added a pair of singles and Anderson added a 2 RBI double in a 3 run 4th inning to highlight the Raider comeback. The Raiders will now turn their attention to non-district play this weekend as they travel to Coalmont on Thursday evening for a 5:30 PM game with Grundy County in the opening game of the Mountain Valley Tournament. Coffee County will play Marion County and Cumberland County on Friday night in Jasper before ending pool play in the tournament on Saturday with an 11 AM game in Grundy County against Lookout Valley.
