CHS Red Devils:
- Softball: Chesnee 13 – Clinton 1… The Red Devil softball team opened up its participation in the playoff last night on a less than stellar note as they travelled to Chesnee and the Eagles sent the Red Devils back home with a 13-1 loss… As Coach Caughman put it “they were the hammer and we were the nail”…. Chesnee scored 7 runs in the second inning to go up 8-0 and the Red Devils just could not recover as they had only 1 hit on the night… The Red Devils only run came in the third inning when Maddie Wood walked and after moving up when another Clinton batter was hot by a pitch and a wild pitch scored on a groundout… For the game’s box score and some stats, click on the following:4-25-19-CSb-Chesnee-PO … For the games scorecard, click on the following: 4-25-19-CSb-Chesnee-PO-SC
