ST. CLOUD, MN — The St. Cloud Rox (6-8) evened their series against the Willmar Stingers (7-6) with a 5-1 loss on Monday, June 10. Despite the loss, the Rox still have a 3-1 homestand in progress heading into game three against the Stingers.
On the heels of a high-scoring Sunday series opener, Rox pitching performed well in Monday’s game. Hunter Day (Missouri State University) took the ball first and gave St. Cloud four innings for the second consecutive week, walking none and striking out a man. Aydan Decker-Petty (Indiana University) tailed him with an excellent debut appearance out of the bullpen. The right-hander also walked none while allowing only two hits and striking out four across four innings of work. Overall, St. Cloud pitching issued just two walks on the night.
At the plate, Sawyer Smith (St. Cloud State University) compiled another solid evening. The shortstop went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, scoring a run in the fourth inning on a groundout by Jackson Hauge (University of Kansas). Smith is now 8-for-18 with six stolen bases and eight runs scored in four games on the Rox homestand.
