Steady as She Goes

0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6 and now 7-7. The Copperheads cannot get away from mediocrity, but right now, in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League, that will do the trick. The Copperheads sit in fifth place in the 10-team league, and six teams receive an invitation to the league tournament in Xenia. 

With a doubleheader against the Settlers of Licking County, here are some tidbits to chew on:

• The rotation for this week is as follows: Cameron Hobson and Dave Jensen tomorrow, Andy Onak Friday, Andy Carter and TBA Saturday and David Starn Sunday.
• Last season, the Copperheads experienced a seven-game winning streak to go along with six- and seven-game losing skids. This year? Seven visits with good ol' .500, and no streak either way longer than two games.
• The Snakes exceeded the 10-hit mark for the first time this season in the 4-3 win Sunday night against Xenia. For the year, Southern Ohio is averaging only 6.5 hits per game.
• With yet another one-run game (and win) against Xenia, the Copperheads have taken seven of their last eight against the Scouts, dating back to 2007. Seven of those games have been decided by one run, and the other one went into the 11th inning, with Southern Ohio taking it 6-3.
• The WXTQ stream that was not working last night is now functioning properly, so future broadcasts on Power 105 should be set to go. The Copperheads apologize for the inconvenience during Sunday's game.
• Pictures taken at home games are being added to our Flickr account, which can be accessed by clicking HERE.
