Schaumburg had the potential tying run thrown out at the plate in the fourth inning before the 5-run outburst.

Washington added a run in the sixth, and back-to-back homers in the seventh ignited a 4-run inning to cap the scoring.

The Boomers (53-41) mustered only 3 hits, 2 from Brandon Gregorich. Casey Barnes worked 8 shutout innings to record the seventh shutout against the Boomers this year.
