Boomers fall in series finale

The Evansville Otters salvaged a game in the series by beating the Schaumburg Boomers 10-1 on Thursday night, scoring runs in five different innings to end Schaumburg’s three-game win streak.

Evansville opened the scoring for the second consecutive contest, plating a pair of runs in the bottom of the first on a two-run double from Logan Brown. The Otters didn’t trail the entire game. The Boomers pulled within a run in the top of the fifth when Felix Aberouette singled home Aaron Simmons, but Evansville scored the next eight runs to pull away.

Aaron Glickstein suffered the loss on the hill, working five innings and allowing four runs with two walks and five strikeouts. Schaumburg managed just four hits, two of which came from Christian Fedko, who reached base three times. The Boomers were just 1-of-11 with runners in scoring position.

The Boomers (22-12) return home Friday to play the Washington Wild Things.
