A huge crowd was on hand for baseball action on Saturday night in Tullahoma. After the top of the first inning at Grider Stadium, the fans were already being entertained. The Coffee County Red Raiders jumped to the early lead, 3-0. Tullahoma did not go away quietly as they plated 5 runs in the first two innings and led 5-3 after two.
