SCHAUMBURG, IL - The Flyers (23-38) came out after last night's blowout and answered back against the Joliet Jackhammers (32-28) in a 6-2 win at Alexian Field Monday night.
Â
The JackHammers jumped on the board first. Leadoff hitter Jonathan Wyatt smacked a double to right center and was driven home on a Jon Nelson single after advancing to third on a Kevin Rios groundout.
Â
Schaumburg answered back in the second with two runs of their own. Back to back singles by Josh Burrus and Joe Nowicki set the table for the Flyers. Burrus was driven in on a groundout by Dylan Parzyk and Nowicki on a Tommy Fitzgerald base hit into left center field.
Â
The Flyers would tack on another run in the fourth. Burrus led the inning off with a single, stole second and was driven home on an RBI single by Ruddy Yan.
