Bradley King of CHS baseball
Bradley King threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings and Jacob Langham came in for a 4 pitch save for Coffee County as the Red Raiders blanked Marshall County 2 to 0 on Wednesday evening at Powers Field. The pitching duo combined to throw 4 hitter as Coffee County continues to play strong baseball in the closing weeks of the season. The win evens the season series with Marshall County who beat Coffee County 6 to 3 on April 7th.
King entered the 7th inning with a 1 hitter but a walk and 3 hits had the bases loaded and only 1 out. Coach David Martin brought in Langham who coaxed a groundball back to the mound to key the 1-2-3 double play and end the game.
The Raiders got on the board in the 1st inning when Wyatt Day led off the game by reaching base on an error. A walk and a base hit put him at 3rd base where he scored on a balk. In the 4th inning, Nathaniel Tate led off with a double and scored on a double steal.
The Raiders were held to 6 hits on the game with Tate’s double being the lone extra base hit. Defensively, Coffee County was flawless as they did not commit an error.
Coffee County will be back in action on Saturday morning when they travel to Thompson’s Station for an 11 AM game with Independence.
