Schaumburg Boomers sweep Slammers
The Schaumburg Boomers got stellar pitching for the second consecutive game as they completed the two game sweep with a 2-0 victory over the Joliet Slammers.
Gunnar Kines kept the Slammers bats in check for 6⅔ innings, allowing 3 hits and 2 walks and striking out six. The Boomers struck in the seventh as Tobias Moreno recorded his first pro RBI to put Schaumburg up 1-0. Moreno notched his first career stolen base on the next pitch before Jordan Dean flared a single to left center.
Jake Joyce earned his seventh win on the season in relief in 1⅓ innings of work. Seven victories is the most for a reliever in Boomers history. Dexter Price retired Joliet in order in the ninth for his 12th save of the season.
On Friday, Schaumburg starts a three-game series on the road against the Washington Wild Things with Brett Mabry (1-3, 4.36) on the mound.
