Striker Tyler Harvey grabbed the first two goals for the Pilgrims, with Joshua Hutchinson completing the scoring.
Hodges said: "The first team and all the management staff came in before the game and wished the young players the best of luck.
"It was a nice gesture and was very much appreciated. I don't think you see that very often at football clubs where your senior players come in and support the younger ones.
"I was really pleased with that gesture and I think the young players responded in the right way."
Hodges continued: "I wasn't expecting 748 people to turn up, to be fair, but it gave the young lads a nice experience.
"Hopefully, we gave them a little bit of entertainment and something useful to watch."
