The Paints hosted the Kokomo Jackrabbits and defeated them 2-1, Friday.

Kokomo out hit Chillicothe, 6-2, but the Paints scored 2 runs in the second inning thanks to a double by Jacob Gleason, a walk by Andrew Czech, a sac-fly by Michael Ryan, and a double by Drew DeVine.

The Paints were supported by shut down pitching by starting pitcher Zack Harvey, who gave up 4 hits and struck out 7 Jackrabbits.

The Cavs News Highlighted Player is second baseman Drew DeVine. DeVine had 1 double, 1 RBI, and a batting average of .333.

The Paints will finish out their series with Kokomo on Saturday and Sunday.
