Following a leadoff hit by pitch, Tyson Fisher (Dixie St.) launched a game tying home run to left. A few pitches later, it was Chris Esposito (Nebraska Omaha) giving St. Cloud its first lead of the night. Esposito&#8217;s long ball was the last of three for the Rox in the ballgame.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester was unable to hold on to a pair of five run leads throughout the night. Their first came in a five-run third inning, a leadoff double by Alex Pimentel (Long Beach St.) and single by Eric Rataczak (Post Grad) helped Rochester take advantage of a St. Cloud error to take the lead. Then, with two-outs, Ivan Witt (Creighton) cleared the bases with a grand slam over the left-center field wall.<\/p>\n<p>St. Cloud struck back for two runs in the fifth inning courtesy of a Nate Stevens (JCCC) home run to right that stayed just fair inside the foul pole. The fly ball was originally ruled foul, but later reversed to a two-run homer.<\/p>\n<p>The Honkers tacked on a pair of runs in the fifth and sixth, with Cam Thompson (Purdue) working a walk and scoring on an error, and Otto Grimm (Minnesota) coming around on a bases loaded walk by Sam Hojnar. (Iowa)<\/p>\n<p>A three run St. Cloud seventh allowed the Rox to get back into the game, they worked six walks in the frame before ultimately winning it in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Evan O\u2019Toole (Iowa Western) continued a stretch of good starts by Honkers pitchers, tossing five innings allowing two earned runs and racking up six strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester falls to 4-5 on the season and will complete the home and home with the Rox tomorrow in St. Cloud, first pitch is scheduled for 7:05.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>By Nick DeLuca\/\/ Broadcasting and Media Relations Intern<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using a pair of home runs down to their last two-outs, the St. Cloud Rox notched a come from behind  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepagenewsslider","category-update-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
