SAUGET, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers opened a six-game roadswing with a 3-1 loss in the St. Louis area to the Gateway Grizzlies on Tuesday night.

The Boomers did not have another baserunner until the fourth and managed just one more hit in the game. Cole Cook kept Gateway at bay. Cook worked into the seventh and struck out nine. Gateway had runners at first and second to open the fourth and neither runner moved. The first run of the game came in the sixth when the Frontier League's all-time leader in walks, Alec Craig, drew a free pass with one away and moved up on a groundout. Kyle Fitzgerald singled home Craig to give the Boomers the lead. Cole Brannen hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Gateway added another run in the eighth to take the opener.
