Renda went a perfect 3-3 with four runs and an RBI to lead the River Bats to an 8-4 victory at Franklin Rogers Park Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>St. Cloud shook off Tim Griffin\u2019s no-hitter by jumping on Mankato starter Zach Whitman (Georgia Southwestern) for two early runs in the first. With two outs Danny Oh (California) singled, Renda (California) was hit by a pitch and Matt Summers (UC-Irvine) singled to bring in a run. An error on the play gave the River Bats their second run. <\/p>\n<p>The MoonDogs (34-22, 11-12) kept pace with the Bats (26-29, 13-8) the entire game, keeping within one run for much of the contest until the eighth inning. The Bats finally pulled away with a run in the eighth and two in the ninth to give themselves breathing room.<\/p>\n<p>In the eighth, Renda led off with a walk and eventually came around on a passed ball to make it 6-4. In the ninth Jonathan Roof (Michigan St.) singled in the first run of the inning and eventually came around on Renda\u2019s third hit of the evening for the final 8-4 cushion. <\/p>\n<p>The MoonDogs had just four hits on the evening, as four different Dogs provided them. Kyle Knudson (Minnesota) and Taylor Black (Kentucky) had the two RBI for Mankato.<\/p>\n<p>Oh had two runs for the River Bats, while four separate Bats had RBI.<\/p>\n<p>Whitman suffered the loss for the MoonDogs falling to 3-5 on the summer after five and one-third innings and allowing five earned runs. Barry Rooks (Florida Atlantic) earned his first win in his first start, going five innings of his own, and working around six walks.<\/p>\n<p>The MoonDogs will be on the road for the next four games, all in Thunder Bay, while the River Bats will host Duluth. Both games start at 7:05 p.m. CST<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mankato, Minn. \u2013 Tony Renda led a resurgent St. Cloud offense a night after getting no-hit.
