Schaumburg Boomers News Release


SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers plated three runs in the first inning and scored in five different frames while Cole Cook did the rest, tossing a complete game, as the team recorded a 12-1 victory over the Windy City ThunderBolts on Saturday night at Wintrust Field.

The offense took control just four batters into the game. Chase Dawson stroked a two-run double with the bases loaded to open the scoring. Paxton Wallace followed with a sacrifice fly. After scoring a single run in the second to move the lead to 4-0 on a sacrifice fly from newcomer Jake Meyer, Schaumburg chased Windy City starter Michael Barker from the game in the third inning with three runs. Aaron Simmons tripled home a run and Anthony Calarco followed with an RBI double. Meyer added an RBI single later in the inning.

The Boomers would tack on three in the fifth and two in the sixth to lead 12-0. Meyer tripled home a run in the fifth with Christian Fedko lifting a sacrifice fly. Fedko added a two-run single in the sixth.

Cook tossed the first complete game of the season for the Boomers and the first since July 6, 2023 (Shumpei Yoshikawa). The complete game was the third of his career and the first since June 16, 2023. Cook surrendered just one run, a solo homer from Kingston Liniak in the seventh, while walking two and striking out nine. The All-Star allowed Windy City to put multiple runners on base just twice in the contest while improving to 3-2 on the year.
