Alex Calarco finished with three hits and blasted his first homer as a professional, a go-ahead 3-run homer in the fourth inning, as the Schaumburg Boomers made it two in a row against the leaders of the East Division, the Sussex County Miners, with a 6-2 win in New Jersey on Wednesday night.

Sussex County opened the scoring with a two-out run in the bottom of the first against Cristian Lopez, who earned the win in his 2025 Schaumburg debut. Chase Dawson doubled and scored on an error in the third to tie the game before the hosts scored again with two outs in the third to briefly open a 2-1 edge.

Aaron Simmons walked to open the fourth and Michael Gould followed with a single before Calarco sent a moon shot to dead center. Will Prater homered in the sixth to extend the lead and Prater added an RBI on a fielder’s choice to cap the scoring in the eighth.
