St. Cloud, MN — The Rox (28-18) made the plays they needed to in a 5-4 win last night, but could not come up with the big moments they had on Friday. They dropped the second game of their series with the Express 5-0 to split the first home series of the 2nd half. 

Shane Selman (McNeese State) provided the majority of the offense with 2 hits after taking the day off yesterday. The Southland conference Hitter of the Year as a sophomore registered his 13th multi-hit game this year, but the rest of St. Cloud's batters struggled throughout the night.

Cameron Eden (Cal), Cameron Blaquiere (Western Carolina) and Michael Busch (North Carolina) were the only other three players to tally hits tonight. 

Keaton Kringlen (BYU) saw his 13 game hitting streak come to an end, and for just the 3rd time this year went hitless in a game. Kringlen, who looked like Superman yesterday with 3 RBI's, proved he's human too with a rare off night.

St. Cloud falls below Waterloo one game back in the overall standings following a Bucks win over the Honkers tonight. The Rox look to bounce back tomorrow against the Stingers in the 1st of 2 games this weekend at Joe Faber Field this weekend before the All-Star break. Saturday is a 6:05 PM start time with a Rox piggy bank giveaway and quarter drop presented by Great River Federal Credit Union. The 1st 300 fans 12 and under will receive a Rox piggy bank, and have the chance to pick up 4,000 quarters on the field after the game.
