The Boomers battled to within 3-2 with single runs in the second and fourth. Two unearned runs allowed Gateway to pad the advantage to 5-2 in the fifth. Alexi Colon plated a run in the bottom of the inning with a single while Gerard Hall knocked home a run in the sixth with a triple to bring Schaumburg within 5-4. Jordan Dean came through with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, floating a two-run single to left to put the Boomers ahead for the first time.

Chris Phelan allowed three earned runs in six innings in a no decision. Adam Tollefson, a key reliever in 2012, made his return to the team and worked 1.2 innings with three strikeouts to earn the win. Dexter Priceworked the final out for the save.
