SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - The Schaumburg Boomers scored three runs in the top of the ninth but suffered a 6-3 defeat in the opener of a weekend series in Pennsylvania against the Washington Wild Things.
The starting pitchers were in control for both teams as Derek Salata and Kobe Foster matched zeroes. Washington struck first on a solo homer in the fourth and pushed the lead to 2-0 in the sixth. Two more homers late helped Washington extend the advantage to 6-0. The Boomers were able to make noise in the ninth. Christian Fedko walked with one out and moved to third on a single by Alec Craig. Kellum Clark knocked home his eighth run of the season with an RBI double to break up the shutout and Myles Beale followed with an RBI single. Alex Calarco drove home the third run with a groundout but the Boomers could pull no closer.
