SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — For the third time in as many games the Schaumburg Boomers came from behind, rallying to sweep the Joliet Slammers 12-5 in a rain-shortened contest on Sunday afternoon.

Joliet built a 3-0 lead but the Boomers battled back to tie the game. Christian Fedko singled home the first run in the third. Sam Kuchinski was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth and Alec Craig lifted a sacrifice fly to tie the game. Joliet led again briefly at 4-3 before Kuchinski walked with bases loaded in the fifth to tie the score. Craig followed with a two-run double as the Boomers led 6-4. Joliet drew within a run but could pull no closer. The Boomers pulled away in the eighth, scoring six runs, before the rain fell with one away, bringing the game to a close. Kyle Fitzgerald doubled home a pair in the inning while Gould, Nick Podkul and Fedko all also plated runs.

Schaumburg finished with 14 hits in the win, tallying 10 or more in all three games of the series. The team also drew 10 walks.
