Rain Delay and Notes on the Comeback Win

The Copperheads and Servants will play one game today (Saturday) at approximately 7:30 p.m. Steady rain has passed through Southeastern Ohio, so the field has been taking a steady beating. Sunday will now be a doubleheader at a time to be announced. 

Time will tell on the status of tonight's game. It is still raining as I type, but with a lot of parents in town and this being Anderson's only trip to Athens, they are going to try to get at least one game in tonight. Keep track of the situation here on the Copperheads' blog and at Twitter.com/GoCopperheads.

As for last night's thrilling 9-8 victory, here are some stats:

• Southern Ohio is now 6-2 on the season in one-run games and 2-1 in extra inning affairs.
• For the Copperheads, it was their first win in six tries when trailing after seven innings.
• The Copperheads averaged 2.9 runs per game coming into the game and responded with their highest run and hit (12) total of the season.
• The Snakes had only one home run before yesterday, and they hit three. 
• The attendance came in at 1,119, the highest total in the eight-year history of this organization.

The rewind from the game is available at the Copperheads' podcast (available HERE), playing over the popular song "Don't Stop Believing." Also on the podcast are interviews with coach Mike Florak, Jerod Yakubik, Jeff May and Trent Moses. 

It was a fun night. Let's see if the Green and Gold can do it again.
