Boomers fall to Grizzlies 2-1

Schaumburg evened the game with 3 consecutive hits in the fifth.
Justin Vasquez had an RBI single to drive home Alexi Colon. Gateway immediately retook the lead in the bottom half and held off the Boomers and the weather. Schaumburg left the tying run at second in the ninth. Mark Nelson had 3 hits in the defeat.
The Kane County Cougars were rained out at Wisconsin, where they will play a doubleheader today.
