A Wacky Weekend at the Wren

It may have been wacky, but it worked for the Copperheads against Anderson. The offense woke up, and the pitching staff dominated after the third inning of game one.

Here are some notes from the Snakes' weekend sweep of the Servants:

• From the fourth inning of game one on, the Copperheads outscored Anderson 27-1 and outhit Anderson 36-11.
• Now, Southern Ohio is averaging 3.9 runs per game. Coming into the weekend, the Copperheads were averaging 2.9 runs per contest.
• The three-game winning streak is the longest of the season for Southern Ohio and the team's longest winning streak since the squad won seven in a row from July 19-24, 2008. This is the first point all season that the Copperheads are above the break-even point.
• The Servants and Copperheads still have one more game that should be played this season. No date has been announced. The only days down the stretch that both teams have off are July 20, July 29, and July 31. 
• The Copperheads' players have been given the four-day all-star break off. 
• Assistant Tim Culver will represent the Copperheads as a coach in Cincinnati at the All-Star Game Wednesday. A broadcast of that game will be available at greatlakesleague.org.

Since this blog did not make it to an all-star game, it will be given the three-day break off as well. The Copperheads return to action this weekend at Lake Erie, which is located in Adrian, Mich. Friday's series-opener begins at 7:00 p.m. Allie LaForce and I will greet you at 6:45 p.m. exclusively on copperheadbaseball.com. 

As always, you can e-mail into the broadcast at copperheadsradio@copperheadbaseball.com.
