PEARL, Miss. - The Schaumburg Boomers drew a franchise record 16 walks in recording a 13-4 win over the Mississippi Mud Monsters on Tuesday night, kicking off a nine-game roadtrip with their fifth consecutive victory away from Wintrust Field.
The Boomers loaded the bases on three walks in the top of the first but failed to score. Mississippi responded with two in the bottom of the inning to grab their only lead at 2-0. The Boomers plated three in the top of the second after drawing two more walks to lead the rest of the way. Alec Craig singled home a pair to tie the game and Anthony Calarco lifted a sacrifice fly to give the Boomers the lead. Craig and Cole Smith coaxed bases loaded walks in the third as the lead extended to 5-2.
