SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - The Mud Monsters flipped the script in Game 2 of their weekend road series, riding a strong start from Luis Devers and a late offensive push to a 6-2 victory over the division-leading Schaumburg Boomers on Saturday night at Wintrust Field.

Devers (3-3) struck out eight over six innings of five-hit ball to earn the win, and Mississippi's bullpen slammed the door with three perfect frames behind him. Michael Reed fanned four in two innings, and Sergio Sanchez struck out the side in the ninth to seal the deal.

The Mud Monsters opened the scoring with a wild third inning, capitalizing on three walks, a hit batter, and a trio of wild pitches to plate three runs on just one hit. Brayland Skinner added a spark in the seventh with a single and stolen base before scoring on a Kyle Booker RBI knock, and Skinner delivered the exclamation point with a solo homer in the ninth - his first of the season.

Booker finished 3-for-5 with a triple and an RBI, and Skinner went 2-for-5 with two runs, two steals, and two RBI. Kasten Furr also chipped in a single and scored, while Roberto Gonzalez reached base twice.

Schaumburg rallied in the fifth to cut the lead to 3-2, but a long flyout by Anthony Calarco with two on ended the threat. The Mud Monsters responded with two insurance runs in the seventh and added one more in the ninth to even the series at a game apiece.
