Chiefs on verge of playoff bye with 9-7 win over Miners

All nine Paducah Chiefs scored runs in their comeback win over the Madisonville Miners, 9-7 on Monday at Brooks Stadium.

The Chiefs' Kevin Gauthier hit his first home run of the season and added a two-run single. Former McCracken County Mustang Nate Lang also had a two-run double for Paducah.

Konner Myatt helped nail down the win on the mound for the Chiefs by blanking the Miners over the final three innings while fanning four and not allowing a base hit.

With the win, the 20-14 Chiefs are 2.5 games behind the OVL-leading Full Count Rhythm with four games to play. A Chiefs win combined with a loss by Henderson will clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs that begin next Tuesday.
