Hodakowski Shines as Hinsdale Hit the Trail

This was a “home” game for Hinsdale although it was played away due to field conditions. 

A hit and an error in the first threatened trouble for Hinsdale and opening pitcher Alex Hodakowski but he worked his way out of the jam and the Devils came out hitting.  Lead off man John Spacapan reached on an error and Matt Owen hit a single to put runners on the corners.  This was the spark that Hinsdale needed and a flurry of hitting put 5 runs on the board.  It stayed this way until the third when poor defense helped the Blazers score four to make it a one run game. 

The score was leveled in the fourth but from that point on there was only one team in it.  Hodakowski got his second triple of the game in the bottom of that inning to add to the double he hit earlier and the Devils pulled 3 runs ahead.

Hodakowski went on to add yet another double to his tally in the sixth, knocking in Pat Foley.

Foley came in as closer for the Red Devils, replacing Hodakowski, and got the save.
