FLORENCE, Ky. - Alec Craig drew a pair of walks to become the Frontier League's all-time leader but the Schaumburg Boomers suffered a 17-4 loss in the opener of a weekend series with the Florence Y'Alls in Kentucky on Friday night.

Florence scored nine runs in the third to break open a 1-0 game. Schaumburg plated four in the fourth but could get no closer.
