March 18 Vs Warren County

Neither team would score until the bottom of the third inning where Lily Norman singled on a ground ball to center field that drove in Jalyn Moran and Savannah Cooper, giving Coffee County a 2-0 lead.

The score stayed unchanged over the next two innings, then in the bottom of the sixth inning, Paisley Campbell launched a solo shot to left field for her third home run of the season to put the Lady Raiders up 3-0.

A three-run double by Haleigh Skipper doubled Coffee County’s lead to 6-0, and the Lady Raiders would score twice more to go up 8-0, a lead that would stick until the end. The win over the Lady Pioneers marks the third straight shutout win for Coffee County, and their fourth shutout win of the season.
