Schaumburg Boomers News Release


SAUGET, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers held leads of 4-0 and 5-1 but the Gateway Grizzlies scored nine runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to record a 12-7 victory in the St. Louis area on Saturday night.

After being retired in order during the first, the Boomers plated four runs in the second. Five straight batters reached in the inning including four consecutive singles. Michael Gould and Sam Kuchinski tallied RBI singles as part of the stretch. Alec Craig lifted a sacrifice fly and Christian Fedko doubled home a run to cap the scoring in the inning. Gateway scored a run in the bottom of the inning but Anthony Calarco pushed the edge to 5-1 with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, driving home his 79th run of the season. Gateway scored nine runs in the fifth, taking advantage of three errors to erase the deficit and lead 10-5.
