FINAL SCORES - JULY 20

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — The Schaumburg Boomers scored three runs in the first inning and did not look back, posting a 6-1 win over the Windy City ThunderBolts on Monday night at Wintrust Field.

Alec Craig led off the game with a double for the Boomers and scored two batters later on a groundout from Anthony Calarco. Banks Tolley pushed the lead to 3-0 with a two-run homer, his third of the season. Daryl Ruiz homered for Windy City in the second to cut into the deficit. The run would be the lone blemish against Schaumburg starter Derek Salata in the game. Cole Turney, activated from the injured list before the game, homered to open the second and make the score 4-1 and Calarco added an RBI single in the third before another run crossed on an error. 

Salata allowed just the one run in seven innings of work, scattering five hits while walking two and striking out seven to nab his fourth win of the year. The Westchester, Ill. resident retired 11 straight from the third through the sixth. The Boomers also turned three double plays behind the right-hander. Alex Calarco and Cole Smith both finished with a pair of hits as the Boomers tallied nine in the victory.
