In a last minute thriller, with Hinsdale down 6-5, the Devils offense could not be denied.  Andrew Nicholas started the 7^th with a single to right.  Alex Belluschi hit into a fielder’s choice and was moved around the bases with consecutive walks to Brett Suchy, Mark Noth and Brett Morse, to score the tying run.  Collin Cimala stepped to the plate and got behind in the count with two quick strikes.  His determination as a hitter prevailed when he lashed a hit off the left fielder’s glove, pushing the winning run across for a 7-6 final.

Previous scoring came in the 2^nd inning, with Morse singling, Cimala, hitting into a fielder’s choice, Drew Bailey walking and Sam Katz driving in a run with a double down the right field line.  Another run scored in the 4^th inning when Suchy singled, advanced to second on a ground out by Noth, stole 3^rd and scored on Cimala’s single.  In the 5^th, 2 runs scored, starting with a Katz single, a Nicholas double and both scored on a Suchy single.  In the 6^th, Morse singled, advanced by stealing 2^nd, and scored on Bailey’s double down the right field line.

Anthony Fountas started for the Devils and threw 4 innings, striking out 5, and allowing 3 runs on 8 hits.  Many were weak infield dribblers.  Will Lamb pitched in the 5^th, striking out 1, walking 3 and giving up 2 hits with 2 runs.  Kevin Quirke came in with bases loaded and proceeded to strike out the next two batters.
