Schaumburg Boomers turn the tables on Gateway, win by football score
A night after the Gateway Grizzlies scored nine times in the second, the Schaumburg Boomers returned the favor by scoring nine runs in the top of the sixth to notch a 17-10 win in the middle game of the midweek series.
For the second consecutive night the Boomers raced to a 4-0 lead. Christian Fedko singled home a run in the first and Andrew Sojka added a 2-run double. Bren Spillane doubled home a run in the second, but Gateway tied the score in the third, using back-to-back homers.
Michael Gould handed the Boomers a brief lead in the fourth with a solo homer, his first as a pro, but Gateway again tied the score in the bottom of the inning.
The nine-run sixth was ignited on a go-ahead 2-run double from Spillane. Banks Tolley logged an RBI single with two outs and Sojka followed with a 3-run double. Gould, who became the 11th player to homer for the Boomers this season, added a 3-run blast to cap the scoring.
Anthony Calarco also added a 2-run homer in the seventh.
