The Schaumburg Boomers erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to erase a 5-0 deficit en route to a 9-8 victory over the New York Boulders, the 27th comeback victory of the season in front of a franchise record-setting 8,189 fans at Wintrust Field on Friday night.

New York broke open a scoreless game with three runs in the top of the sixth and added a pair in the seventh. The Boomers had managed just four hits entering the bottom of the seventh but tallied five while sending 10 men to the plate. The first two batters of the inning reached base for Nick Podkul, who put the Boomers on the scoreboard with a 3-run homer.

Anthony Calarco came through with the bases loaded and two outs, blasting a grand slam to right for his franchise-record setting 21st homer of the season.
