QUEBEC, CN — The 2021 Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers dropped a rain-shortened contest to the Quebec Capitales in the final game of the weekend series as the hosts grabbed a 7-1 victory in five innings to take the series.

Quebec scored three runs in the bottom of the first against Schaumburg starter Shumpei Yoshikawa. The hosts added two more unearned runs on a T.J. White homer in the third and pulled ahead 7-0 on a two-run shot from Garrett Takamatsu in the fourth. The lone run for the Boomers came when Cos Cannella drilled a solo homer following a long at bat in the top of the fifth. Rain began falling in the third inning but did not intensify enough to cause a stoppage until after the conclusion of the top of the fifth.

Yoshikawa was hit with the loss, throwing a four-inning complete game and allowing just three earned runs on seven hits with three strikeouts. Braxton Davidson extended his on-base streak to 16 with a single in the fourth. The Boomers finished with just three hits in the loss.

The Boomers (31-27) are back home on Tuesday night to meet another East Division foe, the New Jersey Jackals. The contest will be the first ever between the two teams. Tuesday night is Breast Cancer Awareness Night presented by Ascension. The team will wear special pink jerseys to be auctioned off for cancer research. RHP Aaron Glickstein (3-4, 3.95) is slated to make the start in the 6:30pm game which opens an action-packed six-game homestand. Tickets for the 2022 season are on sale now! Visit boomersbaseball.com.
