Scouts set for doubleheaders

XENIA — Friday’s June 22 Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League doubleheader baseball games between the visiting Xenia Scouts (5-4) and the host Southern Ohio Copperheads (7-2) got off to a slow start, due to a rain delay in Athens. Rain has cancelled the Scouts’ last two scheduled contests — June 20 in Newark against the Licking County Settlers; and June 21 at Grady’s Field in Xenia when the Scouts had hoped to host the Copperheads.

Whether the Scouts can get the two games in against the Copperheads or not, they won’t have long to rest. Xenia is scheduled to head nearly 250 miles to the north for a Saturday June 23 doubleheader with the Irish Hills Leprechauns in Adrian, Mich.
