SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Mike Hart hit a grand slam in his first at bat with the team and the 2021 Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers secured a seventh straight victory by notching a 6-3 win to sweep the Florence Y'Alls.
Chase Dawson, Braxton Davidson and William Salas recorded three straight singles in the top of the second to load the bases. Hart homered the deep center, becoming the second player in a week to hit a grand slam in his first at bat with the team after Jordan Wiley connected on a slam Wednesday at Lake Erie.

Thomas DeBonville extended his on-base streak to 11 and hitting streak to nine while Clint Hardy extended his hitting streak to seven games in the win.
