Bryant Shute put the Panthers up 1-0 with a first inning single to bring in Hunter Queen, then after a pair of strikeouts, Chapman singled to right scoring Shute and Dylan Hardin.

Pinckneyville poured it on in the bottom of the second with a seven spot. Hardin had a two-run single and Burris and Chapman added RBI during the rally.

C.J. Opp doubled to drive in two runs in the third before Chapman blasted a three-run homer to left to complete the offensive rout.

Shute (3-4, 3 R, RBI) had three hits on the day he signed his letter of intent to play baseball at Rend Lake College.
