Windy City was up 3-0 after five and a half innings before the Schaumburg bats came alive.

Jordan Dean ripped a double down the left field line to make it 3-1. After a ground out and a walk, Mikal Hill drove in Dean with an RBI-single to pull the Boomers within one.

Hill tied the game at 3 in the eighth with an RBI-single. Tobias Moreno followed with a single on the first pitch he saw to make it 4-3. Dexter Price pitched a scoreless ninth for his 15th save on the year and his 59th of his career.

Scott Schultz pitched 5⅓, striking out 4 and allowing 3 runs, only one of which was earned. The Boomers bullpen threw 3⅔ of scoreless relief to lead Schaumburg to its 21st comeback win of the year.
