Copperheads vs. Servants - Game One

Well, after some stormy weathered postponed yesterday's doubleheader, we're ready to pick things back up today. David Starn is on the mound for Southern Ohio as Joey Gradney will go for Anderson.

• 2:42 - Starn beans the first batter but is saved by a fine double play. He fans the third batter as Anderson goes down 1-2-3 to start the game.

• 3:00 - Another solid inning by Starn as the Servants once again go down in order.
• 3:11 - Marrero is caught in a rundown for out number one. Jeff May hits an RBI single to left and the Copperheads draw first blood. Inning ends with Southern Ohio carrying a 1-0 lead.
• 3: 16 - Quick inning as Starn keeps the Servants scoreless and hitless through the first three.
• 3:26 - Geier and Yakubik both reach to start the inning. The bases are left loaded though, as the next three batters go down. Copperheads lead remains 1-0.
• 3:35 - Starn gives up the first couple hits of the ballgame, but keeps the goose egg as Anderson leaves two stranded.
• 3:48 - The Snakes bring in another run to push their lead to 2-0 after four innings.
• 3:55 - Starn continues his strong outing as Southern Ohio once again holds the Servants scoreless.

• 4:13 - Another easy-going inning on an easy-going afternoon at the park. Nothing too fancy needed as the Green & Gold continues to keep Anderson in check.
• 4:28 - Josh Johnson now in to pitch for the Servants. Jeff May knocks a single for the Snakes' eighth hit of the game. New face Trace Fowler walks in his first AB of the season. Geier knocks a single into left as May is thrown out at home. Yakubik continues his hot streak with a two-run triple to deep center. Davis adds to that lead with an RBI double to left. Moses goes down to end the inning. Southern Ohio now takes a 5-0 lead into the final frame.
• 4:35 - Starn finishes the complete game shutout of Anderson, holding them to only four hits on the day. The Copperheads take game one 5-0.
