CRESTWOOD, Ill. — The Schaumburg Boomers and Windy City ThunderBolts were suspended due to rain after four innings of play on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series with Windy City leading 4-2. The skies darkened and a massive thunderstorm ensued followed by consistent rain to force the stoppage. The contest will be resumed on Thursday night at 4:30pm and played to a conclusion before being followed by a seven-inning contest.

The Boomers scored a pair of runs in the top of the first inning. Christian Fedko doubled home Ty Crittenberger with the game’s first run and later scored on an error. The lead was short lived as Windy City scored four runs in the bottom of the inning, taking the lead on a three-run homer off the bat of Kingston Liniak with two outs. Jackson Hickert allowed four runs in four innings but had not surrendered a run after the first while striking out seven.

The Boomers (33-26) will continue the split series on Wednesday morning at 11:00am with a Day Camp Day at Wintrust Field. RHP Cristian Lopez is slated to make his first professional start while Windy City sends LHP Michael Barker to the hill.  Just 15 home dates remain on the 2024 schedule and tickets for all remaining contests this season are now on sale!
