Schaumburg Boomers News Release
MARION, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and could not overcome the Southern Illinois Miners in a 9-1 road loss on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Southern Illinois grabbed the lead just two batters into the bottom of the first against starter Seth Webster, who lasted a career low two innings. Schaumburg battled within 3-1 in the top of the second when James Keller doubled home Nick Lynch with his first career extra-base hit. The Boomers stranded runners at second and third when a liner was caught to retire the side and the hosts scored four times in the bottom of the second on four hits to break open the game.
Webster allowed seven runs on seven hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Kurt Lipscomb came on in relief to work a career high five innings. Kenny Towns picked up three hits for the Boomers, who tallied five in the defeat.
The Boomers (21-19) continue the brief three-game road series on Wednesday night. LHP Lars Liguori will make his debut on the hill against RHP Josh Kimborowicz (5-0, 2.58). The Boomers will return home for Independence Day weekend. Make the Boomers part of your holiday plans before it is too late by calling (847) 461-FOWL (3695).
