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.
