Schaumburg Flyers News Release
SCHAUMBURG, IL - The Joliet Jackhammers (33-28) scored three runs in the first on their way to a 7-2 win over the Flyers (23-39) at Alexian Field Wednesday afternoon.
Joliet got on the board after Josh Flores began the game with a single and was brought in after Jonathan Wyatt also notched a base hit. The designated hitter then got caught in a rundown in-between first and second, which allowed Flores to score. A few batters later, Chris Colton doubled home two more.
Newest Flyer Kit Pellow represented most of the Schaumburg offense with an RBI double in the second to drive in Ron Bourquin. The former major leaguer went 3-3 with a double and an RBI in his debut.
Schaumburg starter Ryan Gehring (3-6) had a rough start. The lefty allowed six runs on ten hits in 4.2 innings.
The Jackhammers scored again in the third, fifth, and seventh to put the game out of reach.
Joliet starter Todd Privett (6-4) notched the win with seven frames of three hit baseball. The lefty struck out nine Flyers and did not walk anyone.
The Flyers enjoy a day off and then welcome the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks to Alexian Field for a three game set beginning on Friday night. The game is scheduled for a 6:45 first pitch.
