Just one team in the Frontier League is unbeaten after the opening weekend of 2012. It’s the Schaumburg Boomers. Schaumburg finished off a three-game road sweep of the Lake Erie Crushers, who qualified for the playoffs in 2011, with a 7-4 victory on Sunday evening in Ohio.

During the three game series, Lake Erie made a lot of noise late, but struggled against the starting pitching of the Boomers. Lake Erie did not score a run for the first 16.2 innings of the season as Robby Donovan and Cameron Roth combined for 11 shutout innings in starts on Friday and Saturday. All three starters in the series including Tyler Watkins on Sunday, earned wins in their respective season debuts.

Jereme Milons posted four hits in Sunday’s victory and drove home a pair runs. Among the four hits were two doubles. Milons, a veteran signed on the last day of spring training, has posted a hit in every game so far this year. Frank Pfister and Nate Baumann have also collected hits in every game so far this season. Schaumburg tallied 13 hits in Sunday’s win.

Following the opening weekend, Schaumburg ranks second in the league in hitting at .284 and is tied for second in pitching with a 2.00 team ERA. The Boomers are also one of only three teams to have not committed an error and lead the league with seven stolen bases.

The Boomers will play the first commuter series in franchise history beginning Tuesday morning at 10:35 a.m. when the team travels to Crestwood, Illinois in the South Suburbs to meet the Windy City ThunderBolts. The Schaumburg Boomers have many connections with Windy City. Bench Coach Mike Kashirsky served as the manager for Windy City the last two years while leading the team to a Frontier League title as an interim manager in 2008. Nick Kuroczko, who started the first three games of the year at first base, played for the ThunderBolts the last two years while reliever Alex Thieroff pitched in six games for Windy City last year. The two teams met in the final exhibition game of the spring with the Boomers collecting a 7-2 win exactly one week ago.

RHP Robbie Penny (0-0, 0.00) takes the hill for his Boomer debut in the day contest while Windy City counters with RHP Stephen Sauer (0-0, 3.18) who makes his second start for the ThunderBolts.
