FLORENCE, Ky. - The two-time defending Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, scored a 6-1 win over the Florence Freedom in the opener of a three-game weekend road set on Friday night.

Mabry scattered three hits and did not allow a hit after the second until the eighth. The Boomers gave Mabry all the support he would need in the third.
