ATHENS, Ohio -- The Lima Locos dropped a double header to the Southern Ohio Copperheads, 5-0 and 7-4 to allow a three way tie between them, Cincinnati and Licking County to occur. It is the first time in the 25 year history of the league that a tie, let alone a three way tie, for first place going into the playoffs. Due to the three way tie, the Locos will be the #2 seed for the playoffs.

According to the GLSCL, "In the event of such an occurrence, the tie breaking criteria for determining the seeds in the playoffs is to examine the records of the teams against each other.  By virtue of its 6-2 record combined against Licking County and Lima, Cincinnati secured the number one seed heading into the GLSCL playoffs.  Lima will be the second seed based on its 3-4 record aggregate record against Cincinnati and Licking County.  The Settlers become the number three seed after a 2-5 season against Cincinnati and Lima combined."

So the Lima Locos will now take on the winner of the (6) Lake Erie Monarchs at (3) Licking County Settlers on Wednesday. They will travel to the winner's home field for the Wednesday game, then host the Thursday and Friday (if necessary) games. 

So come out on Thurday to cheer on your Lima Locos as we enter the playoffs and look to win a second straight GLSCL Championship! First pitch will be set for 7pm at Simmons Field.
