CRESTWOOD, IL - The Schaumburg Boomers jumped out to a big lead and withstood a late Thunderbolts rally to deal the Bolts a 12-6 loss at Ozinga Field Saturday night.

For the second straight night, Schaumburg (25-13) found some early offense. Christian Fedko began the second inning with a single and Aaron Simmons followed with a home run. They added one more the next inning when Bren Spillane doubled and Andrew Sojka singled him in.

Schaumburg doubled their lead in the fifth, getting a two-run homer from Will Prater as part of a three-run frame.

Josh Gibson walked to lead off the bottom of that inning, stole second and scored on a Jalen Greer base hit to put the Thunderbolts (10-28) on the board, but Schaumburg pulled away with six runs in the sixth.

Anthony Calarco and Simmons hit two-run doubles and Prater mashed his second homer of the night to make the score 12-1.

The Thunderbolts showed some late life, sending 11 batters to the plate in the seventh. After Garrett Broussard singled and Michael Sandle walked, Greer hit a three-run homer. Later in the inning, an RBI double from Oscar Serratos and a James Dunlap sacrifice fly brought the Bolts to within six. They loaded the bases before Dylan Stutsman pitched out of further damage.

Stutsman (3-1) was credited with the win after pitching 1.2 scoreless innings. Thunderbolts starter Aaron Evers (2-3) took the loss after allowing three runs over four innings.

The Bolts begin a four-game road trip as the three-game series concludes at Wintrust Field in Schaumburg on Sunday afternoon. Buddie Pindel (2-3, 4.99) gets the start for Windy City against Quinlan Wiley (2-1, 5.93) for the Boomers. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 CDT and the broadcast information can be found at wcthunderbolts.com.
