Six straight for the Snakes

Southern Ohio is rolling. The Copperheads have won six in a row and are one win away from a weekend sweep of the Lake Erie Monarchs.

Here are some tidbits from the Super 8 in Adrian, Mich.:

• Tomorrow's game will now begin at 12 p.m., which is an hour earlier than the original start time.
• The Copperheads scored 47 runs in their first 16 games, which was good for 2.9 runs per game. In the last six games, the Snakes have scored the same number of runs. That's good for 7.8 runs per contest.
• Southern Ohio's pitching staff now has a 3.05 ERA. Two pitchers, and David's (Jensen and Starn) have yet to allow a run. Starn has worked 18 innings, Jensen 17 and two-thirds.
• The Copperheads produced a pair of errorless performances after committing four defensive miscues Friday night.
• With the two wins Saturday, the Copperheads have eclipsed their road win total from 2008. Southern Ohio went 6-14 last year away from Bob Wren Stadium, but the squad is 7-4 this year away from home.
• Seth Bynum, a former Copperhead, played in the Triple-A All-Star game Wednesday night. He is a Syracuse Chief in the Washington Nationals' organization. The second baseman went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the International League's 6-5 win over the Pacific Coast League.
• I had a chance to share two interviews with pitcher Cameron Hobson and third baseman Trent Moses on the Sears Sports Fan, a weeknight talk show in Athens. You can go to thesportsfan.mypodcast.com and download the episode, which aired Thursday.

Allie LaForce and I are ready to bring you a sweep chance for the Green and Gold Sunday at high noon. Tune in beginning at 11:45 a.m. on copperheadbaseball.com. E-mail into the broadcast at copperheadsradio@copperheadbaseball.com.
