Don Bosco nabs road win over DePaul in battle of North Jersey baseball powers

Dylan Espinal's sixth inning hit broke a 2-2 tie as Don Bosco defeated DePaul in the first of two consecutive games between the Big North Conference rivals.

Dylan Espinal has been waiting on his moment. The Don Bosco senior outfielder is part of one of the most storied high school programs in state history and all he’s ever wanted to do was come up big for the Ironmen. On Tuesday, April 15, Espinal found himself in a perfect spot to keep the success flowing with Don Bosco, ranked No.

2 in the NJ.com Top 20. In a game consisting of two kings of North Jersey baseball, all eyes were on Espinal - the seventh hitter in the order - with two outs in the top of the sixth inning in a 2-2 ball game.
