EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Schaumburg Boomers scored three times in the top of the ninth inning to come from behind and win for the 13th time this season, notching a 4-3 victory over the Evansville Otters on the road Wednesday night.

Evansville opened a 3-0 lead by scoring single runs in the third, fifth and seventh. The Boomers had runners on base consistently but were 0-7 with runners in scoring position before an infield hit from Willie Joe Garry in the eighth drove home Chase Dawson with the first run. Evan Orzech opened the ninth with a single and Alec Craig followed by being hit by a pitch. Christian Fedko doubled them both home with one away to tie the game. Kyle Fitzgerald plated the winning run, doubling home Fedko with two strikes and two outs.
