Y'alls Take Series Opener Versus Boomers
June 6, 2023 - Frontier League (FL)
Florence Y'alls News Release
SCHAUMBURG, IL - Florence scored a run in the second inning and added two more runs in each of the fifth and the seventh innings as the Y'alls, presented by Towne Properties, led wire-to-wire in a 5-1 win at Schaumburg Tuesday night.
The Y'alls (13-9) have made a habit of coming from behind this season with a league-leading eight comeback wins, but they flipped the script tonight with early scoring sparked by an Andres Rios sacrifice fly RBI in the second to get the Y'alls on the board. Harrison DiNicola came through with a two-run single in the fifth, and Brennan Price capped the scoring in the seventh with a two-run, opposite field home run to take a commanding 5-0 lead.
The Boomers (13-8) did not crack the score column until the home half of the seventh inning with a Gaige Howard fielder's choice ground out accounting for the Boomers' only run. The Boomers threatened in the ninth with runners on the corners and nobody out, but Kent Klyman struck out the next three batters to secure the win.
The home run for Price was his fifth of the year and extended his hitting streak to eight consecutive games. Ray Zuberer, Brian Fuentes, and DiNicola each had two hits apiece. Blake Grant-Parks was the offensive highlight for the Schaumburg thanks to his two-hit evening.
Jake McMahill worked around four walks and three hits to earn his first win of the season. The righty went six innings scoreless and struck out seven. Luis Perez allowed all five runs for the Boomers over six 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out six to take his first defeat in his first start off the seven-day injured list. Juan Pichardo worked two 1/3 innings scoreless in his first action of the season
The Boomers and the Y'alls battle at Wintrust Field again tomorrow, Wednesday, June 7, at 6:30 PM/7:30 PM EDT. Bobby Brabrand gets the nod for the Y'alls, opposed by Miguel Reyes for Schaumburg.
