AVON, Ohio - The Schaumburg Boomers broke open a 1-0 game by scoring seven times in the fourth inning to roll to a 2-0 start to the season with a 10-1 victory over the Lake Erie Crushers on Saturday night in Ohio.
Lake Erie had opportunities early against Schaumburg starter Derek Salata but were unable to score. Myles Beale scored the first run of the game for the Boomers in the third after singling in his first at bat of the year, eventually scoring on a passed ball. Banks Tolley opened the seven-run inning with a single and came around with one away on a Kyle Fitzgerald RBI single. Will Prater lifted a sacrifice fly and Christian Fedko slapped a two-run single to make the score 5-0. Anthony Calarco knocked home his first run of the year with a double and Tolley added an RBI single in the inning.
