Wine, Women & Baseball with the Boomers

The Schaumburg Boomers made quick work of the Gateway Grizzlies on Wednesday, winning the fastest game in franchise history 3-1 behind the pitching of Cameron Roth. Roth tossed a season high eight innings and allowed just one run to improve to 3-0 this year in four starts. The Boomers have won all four games Roth has started.

Doubles led directly to two of the three runs as Andrew Cohn led off the game with a double and scored when Frank Pfister grounded out in the bottom of the first. After Gateway tied the game in the second, Jereme Milons opened the fourth inning with a double off Gateway starter Tim Brown and came around to score on a single from Chad Mozingo to put the Boomers ahead. Patrick Mincey worked a perfect ninth to collect his second save. Brown threw a compelte game for Gateway, the first ever complete game in a Boomers contest.

Pfister kept his hitting streak alive with a single in the eighth. The third baseman, who also made several dazzling defensive plays, has hit safely in nine straight. Schaumburg totaled six hits, coming from six different individuals.

The Boomers will aim for the sweep with another 6:30 p.m. game tonight as RHP Tyler Watkins (1-1, 2.66) takes to the mound. Watkins has thrown at least six innings in every start this season. Gateway counters with RHP Jonathan Gonzalez (1-0, 2.08).
