Copperheads vs. Scouts

Brad Zahar on hand for this beautiful Wednesday evening from Bob Wren Stadium in Athens, OH. A make-up game originally scheduled for last Friday, but rain kept them from playing. Cameron Hobson, the Freshman All-American, gets the nod tonight. A big night as the Copperheads look to recover after dropping both games Sunday against the Cincinnati Steam.

7:50...Hobson's control struggles early but no damage done. Two strikeouts and only allowed one hit. Geier set to lead off the inning.

8:00...Yakubik steals second after drawing a walk, but nothing going. No score after one.

8:17...Nothing going on offensively. Pitchers battle so far. Two hits for Xenia, none for Southern Ohio.

8:32...Jerod Yakubik a clutch 2 out RBI triple to give Southern Ohio the 1-0 lead after 3 innings. Closest to the pin contest between innings, people had to chip from the hill on the 3rd baseline to a pin just behind 3rd base. Two didn't make it over the left field foul wall while one landed just short of 3rd base.

8:53...Bryan Lucas goes deep to left field for solo shot tying the game at 1. That's his first home run of the year.

9:09...Adam Westbrook replaces Tyler Sanborn on the mound with 2 outs and Chad Geier on 3rd after tripling to right field. Copperheads rally a passed ball scores a run and the Copperheads are now on top 2-1 with 5 innings down.

9:20...Hobson out, Moffat in to pitch.

9:34...Fear an RBI single with two outs and Kyle Atkins is coming in to replace Adam Westbrook. Michael Jackson playing over the PA system...great night at the park with the Copperheads 3-1.

9:50...Scouts add one in the top of the 7th on a sacrifice bunt, the Copperheads still lead 3-2. going into the bottom of the seventh with Thoma to get things going in the bottom frame.

10:00...Copperheads put two on get them both in scoring position but cannot covert. Still a 3-2 lead for Southern Ohio with the top of the 8th approaching. Tyler Gatrell still in for the Snakes.

10:25...Jordan Langley in to close the game out. One down with one on in the top of the ninth.
