Schaumburg Boomers News Release
O'FALLON, Mo. - Riding the best outing by a starter this season, the Schaumburg Boomers bounced back to topple the River City Rascals 8-2 and win the road series Thursday night.
The Boomers were able to strike in the first inning for the third consecutive game, nabbing a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly from Chad Mozingo. The run was more than enough to support Mike Giovenco. Giovenco matched a franchise record in becoming just the second pitcher in franchise history to strike out 10 batters in a game. Giovenco struck out the side twice and allowed two runs in six innings to pick up his first win of the season. The Boomers added two runs in the third on a two-run single from Brian McConkey to jump ahead 3-0 and scored in every inning from the third through the seventh. Gerard Hall and McConkey collected three hits each as the Boomers totaled 12 as a team.
The Boomers return home Friday night to open a three-game stint against the Joliet Slammers. First pitch is at 6:30 p.m. with LHP Danny Jimenez (0-2, 5.57) on the hill for Schaumburg against RHP Jacob Sanchez (0-1, 1.29).
