The Chillicothe Paints, plagued by injuries and a lack of scoring runs, are hoping the latest addition to the team will lend some help.

Austin Szink, (6-0, 190) a catcher/first-baseman, from Walsh University, signed a contract this week and will be available to play this coming Friday, July 10.

Szink, a redshirt-sophomore for the Walsh Cavaliers and a native of Canton, Ohio, batted .297 this past spring with 12 doubles, three home runs and 27 RBI.
The Paints released pitcher, John Havird and pitcher/first-baseman, Zach Shannon, this week due to serious knee injuries.

Chillicothe returns home from the Prospect League All-Star Game break to host the West Virginia Miners this Friday. Game time is 7:05 p.m. and the gates open at 6:05 p.m. It’s a ‘PARTY WITH THE PAINTS’ night, featuring the popular band, JORDAN CLARKE AND FUWXION!

For tickets to future Paints’ home games, or to schedule a group outing, group picnic, youth team party or birthday party, Please call 740-773-TEAM (8326) for additional information.
