Worthingtons Bake Muffins 11-7

Presented by Hometown-Motors, Inc.

The annual vintage base ball game between the Adena Worthingtons and the Ohio Village Muffins went to the home team, 11-7 Sunday.

It was the sixth meeting between the clubs playing 1860s era base ball at Adena Mansion & Gardens. The Worthingtons’ victory evened the series at three games each.

The Muffins were founded by the Ohio History Connection in 1981 and regularly play a season schedule of 40-50 games. The 2020 season has been hampered by cancellations due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their match in Chillicothe was their second of the season.

The Worthingtons were founded in 2015 to play the Muffins as part of an old fashioned fourth of July event hosted by Adena Mansion & Gardens.

Ceremonial first pitches were thrown by Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney, the granddaughter of State Representative Gary Scherer and Adena Mansion & Gardens Board Member Bill Beatty.
