It was a busy day at the minor league baseball parks in and around

Chicago for Independence Day.  Most stadiums love to have fireworks displays on the 4th and few of them disappoint.  For my money, the Schaumburg Flyers put on the best show.
OK, in case you were busy grilling, here are the scores and games from yesterday. 

 

Northern League 

Schaumburg Flyers 

The Flyer continued their winning ways against the Calgary Vipers.  They are playing a 5-game series against the Vipers.  

Final Score:  Flyers 12     Vipers  3 

 

Joliet Jackhammers 

The Jackhammers did not fare as well as their crosstown rivals, the Flyers.  They were home, hosting the Edmonton Cracker-Cats.   

Final Score:  Jackhammers  3    Cracker-Cats  5 

 

Gary Southshore Railcats 

Gary did not fare much better on the 4th.  They were facing off against the Fargo-Moorehead RedHawks.  The win puts the RedHawks within one and one-half games of first place. 

Final Score:  Railcats 2     RedHawks  4 

 

Frontier League 

Windy City Thunderbolts 

The Thunderbolts have been hot of late.  They just finished up a 12 game winning streak.  They started a new one yesterday against the River City Rascals. 

Final Score:  Thunderbolts 8       Rascals  5 

 

Rockford Riverhawks 

The Rockford Riverhawks won the whole thing a couple of years ago.  They have a nearly brand new stadium as well.  They played on the road for the fourth and lost to the Gateway Grizzlies. 

Final Score:  Riverhawks  5       Grizzlies   8 

 

Affiliated Team 

Kane

County Cougars 

Cougars pitcher Trevor Cahill had a career-high nine batters struck out as the Kane County Cougars beat the Peoria Chiefs.  They played at home in front of 11,085 fans. 

Final Score:  Cougars  3      Chiefs  1
