Central Unable To Complete The Sweep!

The Red Devils were hoping to sweep conference rival DGN, but the defense of the Trojans proved to be too much to overcome as they turned 4 double plays on Hinsdale with runners in scoring position.

Connor Marrero (3 for 4) led off the game with a double to left center field.  Stevo Kraynak reached base and Marrero was thrown out at home.  Josh Camalick (3 for 3) launched an RBI double scoring Kraynak and putting Central on the board.  The Trojans tied it at 1 in the second.  Central rallied in the 3^rd inning when Marrero and Matt Anderson singled and Camalick walked to load up the bases.  Charlie Herr reached base driving in Marrero and Alex Tufano’s RBI single plated Anderson.

DG took the lead in the 3^rd and never lost it again adding 3 in the 3^rd, 4 in the 4^th and 2 in the 5^th to go ahead 10-3. Central threatened in the 4^th, 5^th and 6^th with singles by Marrero, Anderson, Camalick and Hurst, but were unable to capitalize.

Hinsdale staged a comeback in the 7^th as Kraynak, Camalick and Tufano (2 for 4) singled to load the bases.  David Kiyosaki drove in Kraynak on an RBI single and John Duffy (2 for 4) scored Camalick with an RBI single.

Rob Bellusci went 3 innings allowing 5 runs (3 earned) on 7 hits with 2 walks, 1 hit batter and 3 punch outs.

Carson Elmore threw 1 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs (4 earned) on 5 hits.

John Ellis closed out the game going 1 2/3 strong innings allowing only 1 hit.
