WASHINGTON, Pa. (July 26) - The last 17 batters to come to the plate for Washington were set down, as the Schaumburg Boomers took the opener from the Wild Things by a final of 4-2.

Michael Austin tossed a season-high 7.2 innings in the loss.

Schaumburg scored the first two runs of the game in the second inning, as Connor Oliver hit a two-run homer before then doubling home two more to extend the Boomer lead to 4-0 in the third.

Washington got a run in the third and a run in the fourth on a fielder's choice by JR Davis and a double by JJ Fernandez. That was all the scoring that would occur.

Michael Austin allowed four runs in the 7.2 innings of work. He fanned three and allowed six hits. John Havird, in his first appearance off the disabled list for bereavement, fanned four of the five batters he faced, and allowed one hit.

The Wild Things and Boomers will go at it again tomorrow at 7:05 p.m. Left-hander Connor Reed will take the hill for the visitors and be opposed by Washington's righty Nick Gallagher.
