CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — In a show of camaraderie and competition, local police and firefighters are gearing up for the eagerly awaited “Guns vs Hoses” softball game on September 3 at the VA Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe. This thrilling event, which pits the two noble professions against each other on the field, is not only a display of friendly rivalry but also a platform for a charitable cause, with all profits going to help Sergeant Eric Kocheran. Kocheran is a deputy Sheriff with Ross County and was shot in the line of duty in November when he was ambushed by a gunman.
Adding to the excitement of the occasion, Bills Bait House of Waverly has stepped up as a generous sponsor, offering participants a unique opportunity to win an impressive firearm package. A brand new Sauer 100 Classic XT chambered in 6.5 MM Creedmoor is set to be the centerpiece of the raffle. This high-quality rifle, known for its precision and reliability, will be complemented by a stunning Sig Sauer BDX scope, donated by the renowned firearms manufacturer Sig Sauer.
The raffle, culminating at the Guns vs Hoses softball game, offers a chance for individuals to win this exceptional package. Importantly, raffle ticket holders need not be present at the game to claim their prize. The scope will be handed over to the winner, while Bills Bait House has generously offered to manage the paperwork required for the transfer of the Sauer 100 rifle.
A total of 200 raffle tickets will be available for purchase, each priced at $20. To ensure the smooth functioning of this charitable endeavor, the Kocheran Foundation will be exclusively responsible for presale ticket sales. They encourage potential buyers to contact them through Facebook Messenger (by clicking here) specifying that responses will not be provided in the comment section. Ticket purchasers will receive a private photo of their ticket along with its unique number, serving as proof of their purchase.
The event organizers are urging participants to take a screenshot of the announcement post and actively spread the word about the fundraiser and raffle. While the sheer volume of tickets prohibits individual delivery, commitment to the cause remains unwavering.
As the anticipation builds for the Guns vs Hoses softball game, the raffle adds an extra layer of excitement and community involvement. With a high-value firearm package up for grabs, dozens of other big ticket items will be available at the game for silent auction.
