Coffee Middle School’s Lady Raiders picked up runs in each of the first two innings Thursday afternoon in Manchester, but couldn’t hold an early 2-0 lead and lost to Lincoln County 4-2.
Ella Arnold led off the first inning with a single and worked her way around the bases on an error and a wild pitch to score and put CMS up 1-0. Kellie Tucker worked a walk to lead off the second inning, moved to second on a sacrifice and eventually stole home to put CMS up 2-0.
But that was it for the scoring for the Lady Raiders. CMS could only muster 4 base runners the rest of the game and left them all stranded.
Lincoln County scored a run in the third, two in the fourth and one additional in the fifth.
The loss drops CMS to 1-1 on the season.
