O'FALLON, Mo. - The 2013 Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, dropped a 5-4 decision to the River City Rascals on a walk off Thursday night.
Brian McConkey nailed a two run homer in the top of the second to hand the Boomers an early lead. Schaumburg did not trail in the contest until the final run came across. River City homered in the bottom of the second against starting pitcher Eddie Cody to pull within 2-1. Cody worked six innings and allowed just three runs but did not factor in the decision.
