After defeating Xenia 12-2 last night, the Copperheads will look to keep the momentum going tonight from Bob Wren.
Gametime is set for 7:30 P.M. Pitcher Tyler Jackson will take the mound for Southern Ohio.
Jackson made 15 appearances with 13 starts for Appalachian State in 2010. He went 2-4 with a 5.43 ERA for the Mountaineers. Jackson has a lot to live up to as a Copperhead starting pitcher; David Starn and Andrew Waszak have looked great in their pitching performances to start the season.
Delaware comes into the game with a 3-3 record. The Cows took a brief hiatus in 2009, but have returned to the GLSCL for the 2010 season. Ryan Meade leads the Cows in home runs and RBIs with one and seven respectively. Evan Shaw leads the team in batting average with a .358 average.
The Snakes of Southern Ohio will try to keep their hot hitting going after banging 21 hits in their first two games. One of the best Copperhead hitters might be sidelined with a leg injury, however. Centerfielder Cameron Flynn came out of the game early last night against Xenia after limping following a double.
Flynn was replaced by outfielder Luis Pollorena. It will be interesting to see if Flynn will be back in the lineup for the Copperheads tonight.
The game begins a streak of five games in three days at Bob Wren for the Copperheads. After starting the season later than other GLSCL members, the Copperheads will have to fight fatigue as they try to catch up. They face the Hamilton Joes on Saturday twice and finish off the weekend with the Grand Lake Mariners twice on Sunday.
