Summer high school baseball got underway on Friday as the Red Raider baseball team split a pair of games in the Tullahoma tournament. In the opener, the varsity Raiders pounded out 10 hits in 5 innings to claim a 9 to 1 win over Warren County. In the nightcap, a team of freshmen and sophomore Raiders saw Tullahoma get a walk-off single to steal a 3 to 2 win from Coffee County.
Against Warren County, Jacob Duncan and Garrett Eldridge combined on a 2 hitter as each stayed under 40 pitches in the 5 inning win. Warren County got a pair of walks and scored on an error in the bottom of the first inning to notch their lone run.
Nathaniel Tate had a single, a home run and 3 RBI to lead the Raider hitting attack. Jacob Langham was 2 for 2 with a walk and 3 runs scored and Noah Anderson had a pair of hits and 2 stolen bases. Zach Morgan added a triple for Coffee County.
Saturday’s games in the tournament were rained out. The Raiders will be back in action on Monday and Tuesday nights. On Monday, the Raiders travel to Fayetteville for a doubleheader against Lincoln County.
