Quebec beats Boomers on walk-off passed ball

The visiting Schaumburg Boomers suffered a 3-2 walk-off loss in 10 innings to the Quebec Capitales in Tuesday’s opener of a six-game road trip.

Quebec trailed by two runs at one point but won the game on a passed ball with the bases loaded. The Boomers loaded the bases in the top of the 10th but could not score.

After dueling zeros for the first five innings, the Boomers were able to open a 2-0 lead in the sixth by taking advantage of Quebec miscues. Alec Craig led off with a single, moved to second on a passed ball and scored when Brett Milazzo reached on a two-base error. Chase Dawson pushed the lead to 2-0 with an RBI single later in the frame. Quebec tied the game in the bottom of the inning with two outs when Tommy Seidl doubled home a pair.

Aaron Glickstein returned from the injured list to throw five shutout innings, striking out four. The pitching staff recorded 14 strikeouts in the game. Mitch White struck out four in two perfect frames while Matt Helwig struck out the side in the ninth. Jake Joyce suffered the loss. The offense managed just five hits, two of which came from Chase Dawson. Alec Craig singled to extend his on-base streak to 15 games to open the season.

The Boomers (10-5) face Quebec again at 6:05 p.m. Wednesday. Schaumburg will send Cole Cook (1-1, 3.00), the 2023 Frontier League Pitcher of the Year, to the mound while Quebec counters with Sam Ryan (0-1, 4.43).
