MUSTANGS BUCK THE RED DEVILS

The visiting Morton Mustangs took advantage of several Hinsdale lapses to grab an early lead that they never relinquished. 

After spotting Morton 5 in the first 2 innings, Hinsdale countered with one in the first when a singling Connor Lind came home on a Mark Nicholas sac fly. 

Morton tacked on 3 more in the fourth. Hinsdale came to life in the fifth when a tripling Dustin Reznicek and a walking Chad Bisnette crossed home on another Nich sac fly and Dan Portschy’s double off the leftcenter wall.  The Devils hit the ball hard but managed only 5 hits as 10 balls found outfielder’s gloves. 

Starting pitcher Alex Bellusci and Drew Bailey pitched well but were victumized by early defensive lapses.  The D stiffened when Kevin Quirke took the mound who closed the game with 2 shutout innings when Lind when slid deep in the hole to throw a runner out, and  Tim Connelley turned a nifty double play courtesy of a Will Lamb stretch and scoop.
