Southern Illinois’ win streak halted at six by Schaumburg

by Jason Guerette
The Southern Illinois Miners got the tying run to the plate in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, but could not muster enough offense in a 3-1 loss to the Schaumburg Boomers at Rent One Park on Tuesday night.
The Miners could not get to Boomers starter Eddie Cody (3-0) over seven innings of work. The right-hander, however, had to work for it in the last three innings, as the Miners worked the count and fouled off a number of pitches to make Cody throw 71 pitches to get through those innings. Included in those frames were five at-bats of seven or more pitches as the Schaumburg right-hander ended up with 118 total pitches.
Similarly, the Boomers made Miguel Ramirez (1-3) work in the last two innings he worked, as the Miners’ starter tossed 56 pitches in the fourth and fifth, including 31 in the fourth without surrendering a run. Jordan Dean, however, hit a two-out, two-run single in the third and Sam Lind’s RBI single in the fifth made it 3-0 in favor of the visitors.
The Miners’ lone run was produced by Niko Vasquez in the eighth inning against reliever Brandon Bargas with a double to right-center field, scoring Michael Earley from first to cut the deficit to 3-1, but they got no closer in dropping their first game in their last seven, while Schaumburg broke a six-game losing streak with the road win.
Southern Illinois will look to even the series on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., with Rick Teasley taking the ball against Schaumburg’s Edwin Carl.
The Southern Illinois Miners are the 2014 Frontier League East Division Champions and the 2012 Frontier League Champions. They have been awarded the Frontier League Organization of the Year award three times since their inception, and also set a new Frontier League attendance record in 2007, their inaugural season.
