The Schaumburg Boomers set a single-season franchise record for homers while amassing six extra-base hits to power past the Sussex County Miners 7-3 on Tuesday night in the opener of a six-game roadtrip to New Jersey.

Anthony Calarco blasted his 23rd homer of the year leading off the second inning to draw within one RBI of the league record, handing the Boomers a 1-0 lead in the process. Christian Fedko smacked the 96th homer of the year by the team in the top of the third to set the record.

The homer was Fedko’s seventh and made the score 2-0. After the hosts drew within 2-1, Nick Podkul doubled leading off the fifth and scored when Will Prater dumped a single into left. The Miners again pulled within a run by scoring in the bottom of the inning but the Boomers broke the game open with four in the sixth. Banks Tolley and Kyle Fitzgerald logged RBI doubles while Prater added another RBI single in the contest.
