SCHAUMBURG, IL – The Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, overcame an early deficit and held on with the skill of the pitching staff to capture a 3-2 victory over the Washington Wild Things Sunday afternoon at Boomers Stadium.

Starting third baseman Cam Sherrer scored the deciding run of the game with a two out RBI single in the bottom of the sixth inning. Sherrer’s fourth RBI of the year plated designated hitter Willi Martin, who started off the frame with a leadoff double.

The single culminated a rally of three consecutive runs that started in the third inning. Boomers left fielder and Buffalo Grove, IL, native Kyle Ruchim lifted a shot off the scoreboard in left field to give the Boomers their first run of the game. Shortstop Craig Massey led off the next inning with a solo home run of his own, tying the game 2-2.

On the mound, Boomers starter Raul Jacobson exceled, tossing 8.1 frames and allowing just two runs on the way to his third victory of the season. After allowing a pair of runs in the first, Jacobson tossed seven plus scoreless innings and allowed just six hits. Alan Oaks relieved Jacobson with one out in the eighth inning and finished the frame, setting up Dexter Price for his 40th career save in a Boomers uniform.
