St. Cloud, MN – St. Cloud (9-1) lost for the first time this summer in a 6-0 defeat to Duluth (8-3), but still hold the best record in the Great Plains division.
On a tough night for the Rox, there were a few strong performances on the mound. Johnny Dow (Georgia State) bounced back from some first-inning struggles to throw four straight scoreless innings, only allowing one baserunner from the second to the fifth inning.
Brayden Gainey (Alabama) came out of the bullpen and was given the late innings. In three innings of work, Gainey allowed just one earned run on two hits and struck out two. Gainey threw two perfect innings in the seventh and eighth.
At the plate, the lone hit for St. Cloud came from Ryan Jackson (Nevada). Jackson singled to center to break up the Huskies’ no-hitter in the eighth inning.
