Schaumburg Boomers News Release

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers built a big early lead and did not look back, hitting four homers to surge past the Lake Erie Crushers 12-2 in the opener of a three-game series at Wintrust Field on Tuesday night.

Christian Fedko put the Boomers ahead in the bottom of the first with a three-run homer against former big leaguer Brandyn Sittinger. The lead swelled to 7-0 in the second. Michael Gould deposited an RBI single into center and Anthony Calarco followed with his sixth homer of the year, a three-run blast. Will Prater doubled home a run in the third and Gould added an RBI fielder's choice. Aaron Simmons hit his fourth homer of the year in the fourth and Kyle Fitzgerald capped the scoring with a solo shot, his fourth of the year, in the eighth.

Deretd Parra and Isaiah Rivera finished out the win. Every member of the lineup tallied a hit as the Boomers finished with 16. Prater led the way with three.
