Schaumburg Boomers News Release
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - The 2013 Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, received a two-run homer from Tony Delmonico in the bottom of the seventh to overtake the Rockford Aviators 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Delmonico's blast came with one away against reliever Michael Schaub and also brought home Justin Vasquez to erase a 3-2 deficit. Delmonico has drilled nine homers in 32 games with the team. Seth Webster won his second consecutive start by twirling 7.1 innings. Webster, the franchise leader in wins, strikeouts, and starts, fanned five in the win. Clark Labitan recorded the final out to earn his third save. Delmonico drove home three, opening the scoring with an RBI single in the third. Vasquez posted four hits in the contest as the Boomers finished with 11, the fifth straight game with 10 or more hits.
Schaumburg (54-34) owns a six game win streak and is creeping closer to a return playoff visit. The magic number sits at two, and the Boomers will at least remain tied for first in the West. The series continues on Wednesday after with a 1:00 p.m. affair. RHP Cal Bowling (7-7, 5.65) takes the ball for the Boomers in the matinee against RHP Ryan Zimmerman (8-5, 3.20).
