Coffee County ended the District 8-AAA Championship game before everyone had a chance to take their seats Wednesday night.
The CHS Lady Raiders sent 8 runs across the plate in the first inning – 6 runs before the Lincoln County Lady Falcons could record the first out – and cruised to a 14-0 win over Lincoln County in Fayetteville and claim a District 8-AAA title.
The Lady Raiders pounded out 16 hits and then came 8 Lady Falcon errors to aid in the cause. Coffee County called off the dogs and began substituting liberally by the third inning. The win improves Coffee County to 28-4-1 on the season and completes a perfect 15-0 district record (regular season and tournament).
Coffee County will now host the Region 4-AAA semi finals at 7 p.m. Monday, May 17. That game will be broadcast live on Thunder Radio.
Wednesday night in Fayetteville, Coffee County’s bats were red hot. Sophomore Kaitlyn Davis was 3-for-3 with a home run and a pair of RBIs. Her long shot was the 11th of the season for her – extending her single-season record for most home runs by a player for Coffee County.
