C Phil Avlas (2-4) reached base on a throwing error by Flyers 3B Vince Harrison. 3B Andrew Pinckney (1-4) followed with a beautifully placed single into centerfield on a hit-and-run. Avlas ended up at third base on the single by Pinckney. RF Wally Backman, Jr. (0-4) grounded out to second base to score Pinckney for a 1-0 Joliet lead.

 

Joliet added another runs thanks to some “small ball” in the 3rd inning. 2B Johnny Washington (1-3) led off the inning with a double and moved to third base on a groundout by CF Adam Klein (1-3). LF K.C. Herren (0-3) grounded out to second base to score Washington for a 2-0 JackHammers lead.

RF Victor Ferrante (1-4) touched up Joliet starter Brad Mumma (1-1) for a solo home run over the center field wall in the 5th inning to tie the score at 2-2.

 

Schaumburg erupted for four runs in the 6th inning against Mumma to take a 6-2 lead.

Harrison hit a double to lead off the inning. Valdez followed with a strikeout. The JackHammers intentionally walked DH Felix Jose (3-3) to set up the double-play possibility.
