River City at Boomers: June 8

The leaders of the West are in town...I long ago learned there is no such thing as big series when you aren't even 20 games into the season but what I will say is this...It's a solidification series...The Boomers have a chance to solidify themselves as a top team in the West Division with these three games...

Check out a new feature today, the addition of my nightly game notes...This is what I spend a lot of the day doing...Creating, writing, designing, reading, designing, you get the idea...This helps me prep for each game and is filled with more info than you could ever imagine about the team...A lot of what I created has been taken directly from Major League notes and crafted to my liking for the Boomers...

Boomers 5, Gateway 4


A sweep of Gateway...That was sure one of the stranger games I have been a part of...It saw both teams rally, a run be added retroactively, but ultimately ended up in the eighth home win of the season for Schaumburg, the third in walk-off fashion...

When listening back to the highlights realize I was not made aware of the retroactive run until after the fact...

RECAP

BOXSCORE

Jereme Milons homers in the seventh


Chad Mozingo homers after Milons, the first back-to-backers in franchise history


Mike Valadez Walk-Off Single
