Schaumburg scored in the first inning for the fourth consecutive game, taking advantage of 3 straight walks to open the contest.
Kenny Towns plated the first 2 runs with an RBI single. Normal scored a single run in the bottom of the frame before Schaumburg started to put space between themselves and the hosts.

The Boomers scored in every inning of the game and also received solo homers from Seth Spivey and Sean Godfrey.
