Jun. 16—CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Jackson Feltner doubled home the tying run and pinch-runner Kent Reeser scored on Mitchell Vincent's single in the bottom of the ninth to give Chillicothe a 2-1 win over the West Virginia Miners Tuesday night at VA Memorial Stadium.

The hits came off Jacob Kinsell, who had thrown four effective innings of relief. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter and limited the Paints to two hits over that stretch.

A two-out RBI single from Pat Mills gave the Miners a 1-0 lead in the fifth.

Dane Armbrustmacher got the win for the Paints. He threw 4 1/3 shutout innings, striking out three and allowing just three hits while walking none.
