Devils mauled by LT Lions

Chris Bobo started well on the mound for the Red Devils in what promised early on to be a tight game.  However, his confidence was drained by a very tight strike zone

and the Lions took advantage finding gaps in the infield and peppering the outfield. Despite Bobo’s valiant efforts, the game had slipped out of Hinsdale’s grasp by the third and a comeback never seemed likely.  The speedy Phil Zarcone who had been very busy in center knocked in Jack Gilbert for the Devils’ only run of the game in the second inning.  That was all they could muster however having threatened to force their way back into the game with some nice hitting by Britt Conte, bases loaded and no outs.  Gilbert took over the pitching in the fourth and fifth but the lack of Devil offence meant that the game was curtailed by the slaughter rule. 

This was a game Hinsdale certainly will want to forget in a hurry.
