TRAVERSE CITY, MI - The defending Frontier League champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, split a pair of games with the Traverse City Beach Bums on the road Wednesday night.

TRAVERSE CITY 7, BOOMERS 6 - Game One

Schaumburg could not hold a four-run lead in dropping the opener.

Moore tied the game with an RBI single in the third and the Boomers scored four times in the fourth, three of which came on a homer from Zack Weigel.

Collin Ferguson doubled home the first run in the top of the second and Clint Hardy followed with a double to score Ferguson as the Boomers scored three times in the inning. Godfrey homered in the fifth and Weigel notched an RBI single in the seventh to account for the offense.
