NORMAL, Ill. — Severe weather forced the cancellation of the opener of a six-game roadtrip for the Schaumburg Boomers as the scheduled contest with the Normal CornBelters was postponed. The game will be played as part of a doubleheader on Thursday beginning at 6:00 p.m. Both games are scheduled for seven innings.

Thursday’s double is the first of two scheduled on the roadtrip as the Boomers will also meet Evansville in a doubleheader on Saturday. Schaumburg has played five doubleheaders this season and owns a 5-5 record with three splits and one sweep for and against. Two of the doubleheaders were scheduled with three coming as a result of rainouts. Thursday will mark the sixth doubleheader in team history.

The Boomers (40-29) have won eight of the last nine games. The pitching matchups for the doubleheader will feature RHP Mike Giovenco (7-4, 3.56) and RHP Chris Phelan (4-1, 2.02) on the hill for the Boomers against RHP Drew Provence (4-4, 3.09) and RHP Jose Trinidad (4-4, 4.38) for Normal, respectively.
