Kines throws complete game, but Boomers fall to Traverse City

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The Schaumburg Boomers 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.

Offense was few and far between for both teams as the lone run scored in the bottom of the seventh on a single from Jose Vargas.

Kines threw 8 innings and allowed just the 1 run on 5 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, the shortest game in franchise history.

The Boomers continue the series on Wednesday night at 6:05 p.m. with RHP Brett Mabry on the mound.
