SCHAUMBURG, IL - Clint Hardy scored from second base on a wild pitch as the Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, walked off with a 2-1 win in 10 innings over the Evansville Otters.
Hardy scored the winning run after the Boomers failed to capitalize on bases loaded situations in the eighth and ninth. Hardy drew a one-out walk in the 10th, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored the winning run with two outs on a wild pitch that led to a throwing error. Evansville grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first without a run. Schaumburg tied the game in the sixth when Jack Parenty smacked an RBI single to plate Dylan Jones.
