Paints park it on Peacock

Chillicothe kept Peacock Road busy.

The Paints blasted five home runs Tuesday night, three of which cleared both fences at McBride Stadium and found their way to the street in a 16-1 victory over Richmond.

It was a strong start to the second half for Chillicothe, and a continuation of how the Paints finished the Prospect League’s first half last week. They scored 50 runs in two victories last Friday and Saturday, including a 30-run outpouring in Saturday’s win over Slippery Rock.
