Two rain postponements earlier in the season forced Coffee County and Franklin County into a 5-inning double-header Tuesday in Winchester.
Coffee County took care of business in a pair of decisive wins: 21-0 and 14-2.
Lady Raiders 21, Franklin County 0
Coffee County had 11 hits and Franklin County had 9 defensive errors in a 21-0 Lady Raider win in 3 innings.
Paisley Campbell knocked in 4 runs in the win and Savannah Cooper had 3 RBI. Cooper had a pair of doubles. Ella Arnold and Katelyn Anderson also doubled for Coffee County.

Lady Raiders 14, Franklin County 2
Nine different Lady Raiders had an RBI in game 2 – another blowout, this time 14-2.
Franklin County pitchers issued 8 walks and hit 5 Lady Raider batters. Coffee County only had 4 hits. But those walks, hit batters and 4 Rebelette errors allowed Coffee County to pull away. Jalyn Moran had 2 of Coffee County’s 4 hits. Ava McIntosh and Kara Wheeler had the others.
