SCHAUMBURG, Ill.  — The two-time defending Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, saw starting pitcher Edwin Carl come within three outs of a no-hitter only to drop a 3-2 decision to the Frontier Greys in 10 innings.

Carl matched a franchise record for strikeouts by punching out 11 hitters in 8.2 innings. The righty retired the first 17 batters of the game before Francisco Rosario reached on an error with two outs in the sixth. Carl struck out the side in the first and notched at least two strikeouts in each of the first four innings. The New Mexico native did not allow a hit until the ninth when Jhiomar Veras spoiled the gem. Schaumburg handed Carl a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the first on RBI doubles from Steve McQuail and Alexi Colon. Scott Carcaise homered in the 10th to produce the winning run for the Greys. McQuail, Colon, and Craig Massey posted two hits apiece for the Boomers, who finished with nine in the game.
