SCHAUMBURG, IL — The defending Frontier League champion Schaumburg Boomers presented by Wintrust Community Banks, dropped both ends of a doubleheader to the Traverse City Beach Bums on Saturday night.

The first contest picked up in the top of the sixth inning as a resumption of a suspended contest from Friday with the Boomers down 8-3. Schaumburg was able to score three runs on Saturday, drawing within 8-6 before Traverse City plated an insurance run in the ninth to seal the win. Clint Hardy logged an RBI single in the sixth while Dylan Jones and Nick Oddo drove home runs in the seventh.

Schaumburg banged out 14 hits in the opener but could not rally to the win. Josh Gardiner finished with four hits in the opener while Sean Godfrey added three. Starter Kyle Cedotal took the loss. Darrell Thompson came on in relief Saturday and threw all four innings in his debut with the team, retiring the first nine batters faced.

The second contest was just seven innings long and Traverse City grabbed a 5-0 lead despite the Boomers placing runners on base in every frame.
