A groundball hit by Jacob Holder kicked off the glove of Rockvale’s shortstop and into centerfield. That allowed Caleb Moran (who singled and then stole second base) to motor around to home and give the Raiders the win.
After falling behind 4-0, Coffee County settled in and slowly got back into the game. Sherrill settled things on the mound – he worked the middle 4 and 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 3. Fellers pitched the final 2 1/3 and did not allow a run.
At the plate, Aiden Robertson was 4-for-4 on four infield singles, including 3 bunt singles. He was able to get across the plate once. Moran scored twice on a pair of hits and had an RBI. Moran and Pippenger each doubled in the game for the Raiders.
Coffee County is now 12-14 on the season.
