Chillicothe benefited from some bad Lafayette decisions and errors to beat the Irish 4 to 1 in St Joseph. Chillicothe loaded the bases in the first inning when Derrick Hussey reached first base by a fielders choice followed by a Lafayette error to give Chillicothe an early 2 to 0 lead. The Hornets scored twice more in the seventh when Bobby Penniston scored on a fielder’s choice followed by a Tyler Long RBI single.
     Lafayette scored once in the seventh but relief pitcher Penniston pitched out of a jam for the save. Troy Toedebusch went 4 2/3 innings, striking out two, walking two and giving up no runs. Penniston gave up just one hit in 2 1/3 innings.
