Two Homers from Bobo as Offence Cuts Loose

First baseman Chris Bobo solo homered in the first, immediately lifting the Devils’ confidence and spurring them on to an impressive victory.  Regular catcher Pat Foley was given the start on the mound and pitched well over two innings, by the end of which Hinsdale had blown a hole in the side of the Pirates’ resistance.  An RBI triple from Phil Zarcone and some other fine hitting from his team mates in the second produced 5 runs and the writing was on the wall.

The Pirates hit well in the third off the pitching of Jimmy Blodgett, scoring three but after that he settled down and pitched well for the remainder of the game.  Meanwhile Bobo hit another homer in the fourth (2 RBI) and the rest of the offence chipped in to increase the overall tally to 13.
