SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Rallying from yet another deficit, the Schaumburg Boomers swept the River City Rascals with a 4-3 walk-off win on Sunday afternoon.

Steve McQuail collected his second game-winning hit of the series and his second Star 105.5 Star of the Game nomination of the weekend, coming to the plate following an intentional walk to Frank Pfister in the ninth inning. McQuail roped a single down the left field line to knock home Gerard Hall for the game winning run. The Boomers designated hitter drove home all four runs in the contest and erased a 3-0 deficit with a three-run two-out homer in the bottom of the seventh. Mcquail’s 11 home runs is currently tied for the league lead with just six games left before the All-Star Break.

River City opened a 3-0 lead with single runs in the first, second, and third innings against starter Matt Kuna. Kuna threw six innings in a no-decision. Dexter Price, the third reliever of the day, earned the win with a perfect ninth. The Boomers notched 10 hits in the win, three from Hall and two off the bat of McQuail. 

The Boomers (27-19) played from behind in all three games. Schaumburg owns six walk-off wins this year and finished the season series with River City by winning seven consecutive contests to post an 8-1 mark against the Rascals.

Schaumburg is off on Monday before opening a three-game road venture with the Rockford Aviators at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday. RHP Seth Webster, signed on Sunday, will make his pro debut for the Boomers opposite RHP Drew Rucinski (3-5, 2.54).
