The Red Raider baseball team got a strong pitching performance from Wyatt Day, but had no answers for Lincoln County pitcher Cameron McCoy in a 2 to 0 loss on Wednesday night in the District 8AAA match-up at Powers Field. The Raiders were held to 2 hits on the night as McCoy got the complete game win with 10 strikeouts. The Raiders got the tying runs in scoring position in the 6th inning as Jacob Langham led off with a bunt single and Day followed him with a walk, but the Raiders were retired in order after that as Coffee County’s district record falls to 2 and 2 on the year. Langham, who had 2 brilliant fielding plays at shortstop on the night, was named the Thunder Radio player of the game. The Raiders will be back at home on Thursday, weather permitting, when they play host to Marshall County in a 5 PM non-district game. On Friday, the Raiders travel to McMinnville to take on Warren County in a 7 PM game, followed by a home game with the Pioneers on Saturday at 3 PM. Thunder Radio will bring you the broadcast of Saturday’s game beginning with the pregame show at 2:50.
