PAINTS TAKE SECOND STRAIGHT
The Gateway Grizzlies hit three home runs, but it wasn't enough as the Chillicothe Paints took their second straight, winning 10-5 Saturday night at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Oh.
Ryan Saltzgaber hit the first of the three long balls, putting the Grizzlies up 1-0 with a solo shot in the first inning.
Dustin Roberts hit his 17th of the year, a solo shot, to left in the fourth that made it 3-2 Chillicothe (28-33). Roberts was 3-4 with two singles and the homer.
The Grizzlies (42-18) trailed 8-2 when Stephen Holdren connected with his league-leading 18th home run of the year, a three-run shot, to make it 8-5. Holdren was 2-4. He now has 50 RBIs, which is second in the league.
The Paints would add a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth to make it 10-5.
Jeremy Dow (1-1) suffered the defeat for the Grizzlies. He started and went five innings. He allowed five runs on six hits. He walked three and struck out two.
