Bases loaded. Two outs. Brandon Jaenke got Ricardo Aponte to ground out to third base to end the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u201cAll the confidence in the world,\u201d said St. Cloud Rox Manager Nick Studdard of Jaenke. \u201cIt\u2019s death, taxes, and Brandon Jaenke in the 9th. That\u2019s what I went out there and told him, hey man, there is no one on the planet that is better than you in this situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The St. Cloud Rox took a quick lead in the top of the 1st inning, as Larks starting pitcher hit Jackson Cooke with a pitch with the bases loaded to bring in a run. The Rox would tack on a run in the 4th inning off of Eric Bello\u2019s RBI single. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Larks struck back in the 7th inning. Jesus Vasquez hit a pitch back up the middle to drive in a run. Riley Leatherman would then throw a wild pitch with a runner on third base, resulting in the game being tied up at two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the Rox came right back. Wilmis Castro crushed a solo home run off of Kai Mayfield to begin the top of the 8th inning. \u201cI was just looking for a good pitch, trying to get ahead in the count, and just not miss it,\u201d said Castro. \u201cThe last few days I was missing a lot of pitches, and my coaches just told me to try and get a good pitch and drive it out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the win, the Rox improve to 44-20 on the season. Their .688 win percentage is the best mark in the Northwoods League.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
