CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - The Chillicothe Paints, presented by Adena Health System, ran their win streak to seven games Saturday night at VA Memorial Stadium, treating 3,461 fans to a 30-2 run-rule win over the REX. With the Paints leading by 10+ runs after 6 1/2 innings, the game was ended early.

With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the second inning, Chillicothe (14-12) scored 13 times on nine hits, including two-run singles by Nathan Rose and Jimmy Allen, and a grand slam by Kent Reeser. Reeser drove in another run later in the inning, giving him five RBIs in one frame.

Chillicothe had another big inning in the fourth, scoring eight times on two hits and three REX (11-15) errors. 

In the bottom of the fifth, already leading 23-1, Isaac Bair hit a three-run home run, extending the Paint's lead to 25-1. Nathan Karaffa then doubled, scoring on a single by Trey Maeker, giving the Paints a 26-1 advantage.

After a walk and two singles in the sixth inning, Ben Gbur hit a grand slam, the second of the game and third home run for the Paints, making it 30-1. 30 runs ties the Prospect League record for runs in a single game, a mark the Paints set it 2012, when they beat Slippery Rock 30-3.
