Red Devils Drop Heartbreaker in the 7^th!

The Red Devils traveled to Elmhurst to take on the Dukes of York in the rubber match of the series after splitting the Saturday double header.  It was a must win to take control of 2^nd place in the West Suburban Silver Conference behind Oak Park. 

In the 1^st inning, Matt Anderson reached base and Josh Camalick (2 for 4) singled.  Charlie Herr (2 for 3) belted a double to left center field to score Anderson but 2 were left stranded.  York tied it up at 1 in the bottom of the 1^st  .  John Duffy (2 for 4) singled in the 2^nd but was left stranded.  Central added 2 in the third inning with back to back home runs by Anderson and CamalicK.  Both balls were hit over the left center field fence.  York answered again with 2 more in the bottom of the 3^rd.  Hinsdale scored once in the 4^th as Jack Hellwig and Connor Marrero (2 for 5) singled followed by an RBI single by Rob Bellusci scoring Hellwig.  Charlie Herr led off the 5^th inning with a double followed by an RBI double by David Kiyosaki to give the Devils a 5-3 lead.  Marrero led off the sixth inning with a single followed by a walk to Bellusci.  Anderson laid down a sac bunt to advance the runners and Herr was intentionally walked to load up the bases but the Red Devils were again unable to score.  We could have used some insurance runs.  Pitcher Scott Anderko helped himself out in the bottom of the 6^th as he picked off a runner at 1^st base and struck out 2 to end the inning.  York roared back in the bottom of the 7^th to score 2 and take the win.  It was a tough loss for Hinsdale.

Scott Anderko pitched 6 innings allowing 4 runs on 5 hits with 1 walk and 8 strike-outs.  John Duffy came on in relief allowing 2 runs on 2 hits with 1 walk.
