St.Cloud, MN —  Shane Selman (McNeese State) made his first appearance for the Rox tonight and started his summer season with a bang. In the bottom of the 6th, the Leftfielder drove one over the wall to cut the Rox deficit to 5-2. Unfortunately, for St. Cloud that was the last run it would score for the rest of the game. 

The only other offense came in the 1st after Mason Mamarella (Kent State) scored off a wild pitch following his leadoff walk. 

Dominic Austing (St. Cloud State) picked up the loss, but still had a solid outiing. The Husky sophomore went 7 innings, and allowed 5 of his 6 hits in the first two innings. Once he settled in Austing made quick work of the Honkers lineup.

Austing's teammate this summer and during the year Kyle Boser (St. Cloud State) made his first appearance on the mound the same day he signed with the Rox. Boser pitched 3 innings and struck out 3 and did not allow a single hit.
