Calarco breaks Schaumburg Boomers record for RBI in a season in lopsided victory

Just 50 games into the 2025 season, Anthony Calarco broke the franchise single-season record for RBI as the Schaumburg Boomers rolled past the Evansville Otters 18-5 on Saturday night at Wintrust Field before another packed house.

Calarco drove home his 69th run of the season with an RBI single in the bottom of the first and helped fuel a comeback with a go-ahead 3-run homer in the fourth to reach 72 RBI, surpassing Quincy Nieporte’s 96-game mark of 71 from 2019. Evansville scored a pair of runs in each of the first two innings to lead 4-1, but the Boomers scored in their first seven trips to the plate to ease to the victory.

Michael Gould tied the game with an RBI single in the fourth before the homer from Calarco.

Satchell Norman blasted a grand slam to finish the scoring in the seventh as the Boomers scored single runs in the first three innings before notching four in the fourth, three in the fifth, four in the sixth and four in the seventh. The team drew eight walks and finished with 14 hits.
