TRAVERSE CITY, MI — The Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, received a complete game from Gunnar Kines but fell short in a 1-0 loss to the Traverse City Beach Bums in the opener of the final road series of the season.

Kines threw eight innings and allowed just the one run on five hits in falling to 4-6 on the season. The left-hander struck out seven, moving into second place on the single season strikeout list. Kenny Towns tallied two of the four hits for the Boomers, who placed just two runners in scoring position the entire game against three Traverse City hurlers. The contest took just 1:53 to complete, shortest game in franchise history.
