SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Another passed ball and crooked number late propelled the Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, to their fourth straight victory and a sweep of the Florence Freedom, 6-2 Thursday night.

The Boomers trailed 2-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh when a passed ball allowed Ino Patron to tie it at two. Jordan Dean, Paul Kronenfeld and Mark Nelson followed with three RBI singles in four at bats to give the Boomers a 5-2 lead. Schaumburg added another run on a ground ball from Shawn Payne that scored Patron.

The Boomers got strong pitching performances from their starter and bullpen again as Gunnar Kines threw six innings of three hit ball. Jake Joyce, Ken Knudsen and Evan Boyd each threw an inning and struck out four combined. The victory secured the first series sweep of the season for Schaumburg. Richard Seigel’s two-out double in the ninth snapped a streak of 17 consecutive batters retired for Boyd. The Boomers enter the final third of their nine-game home stand Friday night against the River City Rascals.
