Three homers push Boomers past Florence

The Schaumburg Boomers blasted three homers during a 7-4 victory over the Florence Y’Alls on Tuesday at Wintrust Field in the opener of a six-game homestand.

Trailing 2-0, Schaumburg tie it in the bottom of the first when Kyle Fitzgerald slapped his fourth homer of the season, a two-run shot. The visitors stretched the lead to 4-2 in the second but the Boomers again tied the game in the bottom half. Tony Livermore doubled home a run and Alec Craig tied the game with a sacrifice fly.

The game remained even until the bottom of the fifth. Myles Beale cracked a two-run homer to put Schaumburg ahead and Anthony Calarco, making his return from the injured list, followed with a solo shot to center.

Kyle Moore earned the win in relief. The righty tossed 5.2 blank innings and struck out six while allowing just two hits. Holland Townes fanned the side in the eighth and Caleb Riedel twirled a perfect ninth to record his fourth save.
