Following an Opening Night victory over the Windy City Thunderbolts on Thursday, Schaumburg took the next three from the visiting Washington Wild Things.

Saturday’s contest featured late-inning drama with the Boomers trailing 4-2 headed to the bottom of the eighth inning. A Brian McConkey three-RBI triple gave Schaumburg the lead for good in a 6-5 victory. The Boomers polished off the three-game set against Washington with a 2-1 win on Sunday to complete the Opening Weekend sweep.
