Devils Succumb to Trojans in Opener

The score does little to reflect the performance put up by the Red Devils in the opening game of the series against Downers Grove North.  One bad inning for Hinsdale and that cost them the game. Chris Bobo who started for the Devils took a while to settle and the Trojans took full advantage jumping to an early 3-0 lead. Bobo’s efforts were not helped by some sloppy defensive plays. Daspin, Spacapan and Gilbert hit well for the Devils who were eventually rewarded with a run in the fourth.  Gilbert replaced Bobo in the fourth on the mound and immediately found his location.  Momentum was beginning to turn in Hinsdale’s favor and it looked as though they were going to mount a rally. However an error in the sixth cost the Devils a run and with only one inning left to turn things around, the task proved too much for Hinsdale.
