Waterloo, IA — Two of the best hitters for the Rox (26-14) all year long came ready to play Saturday. Michael Busch (North Carolina) and Shane Selman (McNeese State) each tallied two hits Saturday, but it was not enough as the Rox fell to the Bucks 4-2 in their final regular season game at Riverfront Stadium.

For the 4th straight game, Busch had an extra base hit. St. Cloud's best chance to climb back into the game when he and Selman hit back-to-back doubles in the 4th inning. St. Cloud could not bring those guys on base home. Selman had his 10th multi-hit game this season, while Busch had his 8th. 

The Rox had a rally cut short in the 7th inning, where they started off strong loading the bases. They managed to drive in a run after Brad Mathiowetz (Florida Atlantic) walked, and then Cameron Eden (Cal) hit a sacrifice fly. They couldn't manage any other offense and capped their scoring in the 7th inning.

Rox relievers looked good again with Bobby Gauvreau (Minnesota State-Mankato) and Iva Coutinho (Bethune-Cookman) pitching the last three innings. The two only gave up one hit and struck out 5 to keep their team within striking distance.

The Rox now head to Bismarck for a two game series with the Larks. We then return home Tuesday night in a game against the MoonDogs. There will be a Rox drawstring bag giveaway to the 1st 300 kids 14 and under presented by Central Minnesota Credit Union. It will also be our 1st taco Tuesday! Each fan at the game will receive a certificate for a free taco at taco johns.
