Schaumburg Boomers ride nine-game winning streak into break

The Schaumburg Boomers will head into the All-Star break with a nine-game win streak after recording a third consecutive sweep by taking down the Brockton Rox 7-6 in the resumption of a suspended game and 5-1 in the regularly scheduled contest at Wintrust Field on Sunday.

Picking up the suspended game in the top of the ninth inning, the Boomers won in 10 when Michael Gould crossed the plate on a wild pitch.

In Game 2, Brockton loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the third against Schaumburg starter Eric Turner but failed to score in a turn of momentum. The Boomers answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead. Alec Craig lifted a sacrifice fly as the first run came in without a hit. Gould smacked the first hit of the game, an RBI double before Sojka blasted a two-run homer. Sojka has homered in five straight games and owns six homers over that stretch, doubling his season total to 12. Brockton scored a single run in the fourth but Christian Fedko finished the scoring with an RBI single in the fifth.
