CRESTWOOD, IL – Logan Wiley pitched eight strong innings as the ThunderBolts held off a Schaumburg sweep with a 3-1 win at Ozinga Field Sunday afternoon. Wiley was strong from the start, pitching a 1-2-3 first inning that included a diving catch from right fielder Dan Robinson. Wiley ended up retiring the first nine batters of the game. The ThunderBolts (24-35) got the offense rolling in the bottom of the first. With two outs and nobody on base, Robinson singled and Rob Weissheier walked in front of Jairus Richards, who lined a two-run triple down the right field line to put the Bolts up 2-0. The next inning, Jack Strunc was hit by a pitch, stole second and moved to third on a Zac Taylor single. Strunc scored on a wild pitch to increase the lead to 3-0. The ThunderBolts didn’t score again, but they didn’t need to as Wiley remained in control. Schaumburg (33-26) got their only run in the top of the fourth. Alec Craig doubled and moved to third on a Brett Milazzo single. Milazzo stole second, putting two runners in scoring position with just one out. The Boomers, though, were held to one run in the inning on a Chase Dawson groundout. Schaumburg threatened just once more, in the ninth, they loaded the base with a hit and two walks but Cal Djuraskovic struck out Nick Oddo to end the game and secure his second career save. Wiley (4-1) picked up his fourth straight win and Isaiah Rivera (1-2) went three innings and took the loss. The ThunderBolts continue their home stand on Tuesday evening when they welcome the Evansville Otters to town to start a three-game series.
