Chillicothe Paints News Release
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - After dropping their home opener Thursday at the hands of Champion City, Chillicothe Paints manager Brian Bigam said he just wanted his guys to compete.
Friday, the Paints (1-1) did more than just compete. They won, and in resounding fashion.
Chillicothe unloaded 15 hits and played error-free defensively as it got into the win column for the first time this summer with a convincing 15-4 victory over the Kings (1-1).
Trey Smith led the Paints' offense, going 5-for-5 with three doubles and five RBIs while catcher Dylan Shockley was 2-for-4 with a home run. Parker Murdie and Chris Eisel each had three RBIs on the night as well.
On the hill, Taylor Perrett picked up the win after tossing 6 1/3 innings and allowing no earned runs on a single hit while striking out four.
The Paints now travel to Champion City, Saturday and Sunday, for the final two games of the two teams' four-game season-opening series. First pitch Saturday is set for 6:35 p.m.
