Schaumburg Boomers have game suspended due to rain in eighth inning with score even

Andrew Sojka homered with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, his second of the game, to tie the score as the Schaumburg Boomers and Brockton Rox were suspended following eight innings tied at 6-6 in the first meeting between the two teams on Friday night at Wintrust Field.

Sojka now owns 10 homers on the season after also homering in the bottom of the first. The rain had been falling off and on for a couple innings before the skies opened along with a thunderstorm prior to the ninth, forcing the suspension. The teams will resume the game on Sunday afternoon in advance of a scheduled game that will revert to seven innings.
