Madison, WI — Every team in the Northwoods League had the day off for the Big League Dreams Showcase in Madison. 7 Rox players were selected and 5 played in a 9 inning game with a mixture of players from the NWL's two divisions. Position players Daniel Schneemann (BYU) and Cameron Eden (Cal) stayed in for the majority of the 9 innings. Each had a single, and Eden drove in a run.

St. Cloud also saw 3 of its pitchers show off on the mound as well. Robbie Palkert (Nebraska) allowed 1 run in 1 inning pitched. Relievers Shelby Lackey (Pacific) got two outs in the 8th and Brent Killam (Georgetown) threw 1.1 innings and threw in the 9th.
