Boomers Fall at Windy City
CRESTWOOD, Ill. — The two-time defending Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, could not overcome an early hole in a 6-1 loss to the Windy City ThunderBolts on Thursday night.
Windy City scored in the first and added two on a homer from Ryan Deitrich in the second against Schaumburg starter Anthony Gomez. Gomez worked just 1.2 innings. Zach Wendorf kept the Boomers in the game by tossing 4.1 innings and allowing just an unearned run. Garrett Gordon tripled home a run in the fourth to bring Schaumburg within 3-1, but Windy City scored one in the fifth and two in the seventh to put the game away. Gordon finished with two hits in the loss as the Boomers managed only five total. Schaumburg has tripled in three consecutive contests.
The Boomers (10-14) continue the roadtrip in Kentucky on Friday night with a 6:05 p.m. game against the Florence Freedom. RHP Brett Mabry (1-1, 4.03) takes the ball in the opener against a TBD starter for Florence. Ensure your place in the fun at Boomers Stadium this year by calling (847) 461-3695 (FOWL).
