Central Prevails In Pitchers Duel!

Scott Anderko pitched the game of the season as the Red Devils outlasted LT 3-2 in the final match-up of the season.  Anderko pitched all 7 innings allowing 5 hits, 4 walks, 2 runs {1 ER} and punched out 6 batters in the outing.  LT tried to get on the board early in the 1^st inning but an inning ending double play fielded by Josh Camalick, flipped to Garrett Kawa and thrown to Charlie Herr at 1st ended the threat.  The bottom of the 1^st brought Connor Marrero to the plate where he reached on an error and Scottie Zender blasted a 2-run bomb to right field to give Central a 2-0 lead.  LT cut the deficit to 2-1 in the top of the 2^nd.  Both teams failed to score in the 3^rd and 4^th inning due to great pitching and solid defense.  Central threatened in the 4^th when Rob Bellusci laced a triple over the left fielders head but the Red Devils failed to bring him in.  LT tied up the game in the top of the 5^th on a walk and back to back singles.  Hinsdale took the lead for good in the bottom of the 5^th when Camalick started off the inning with a single, advanced around the bases on passed balls to score the go-ahead run.  LT threatened in the 7^th with a 2-out double to left center field but failed to score.

The Red Devils played much better defensively and competed in every inning to salvage the 3^rd and final game of the series with conference opponent LT.
