THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
St. Cloud has a great power game, sitting second in the NWL in home runs. Austin Haley has two, Jackson Cooke, Tyler Bishop, Tyson LeBlanc, Grant Sommers, Cayden Gaskin, Joshua Dykhoff and Ethan Gibson each have one. St. Cloud also sits third in the league in ISO% which is a stat that measures a hitter’s raw power by showing how often they hit for extra bases (doubles, triples, and home runs) relative to their at-bats. It’s essentially a measure of a player’s ability to hit the ball hard.
The Rox also stole seven bases last night. Tanner Recchio was all over the base paths, stealing third in the ninth, which led to him scoring the winning run on a wild pitch. The Rox sit eighth in the Northwoods league in stolen bases, but are first in the Great Plains West division in that category.
STRIKEOUT SPECIALISTS
Rox starters have been phenomenal at inducing swing and miss throughout the last four games. Since Monday, Rox starting pitchers have struck out an eye-popping 29 batters. JP Robertson had eight K’s on Monday, Marcus Kruzan had seven on Tuesday, Riane Ritter had seven, and then Hunter Day added six yesterday. Rox starters have also only allowed four earned runs over the last 25.2 Innings pitched for an ERA of 1.42 over the last four games.
PROBABLE STARTERS (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
STC- Jake Burcham is your starting pitcher tonight. Burcham threw six scoreless frames with six strikeouts vs Badlands six days ago. Burcham has a 2.97. ERA across his NWL career amassing 26 strikouts in 36.1 innings pitched.
MAN- Joe Skapinetz gets the start for Mankato today. He is a returner from last season for the MoonDogs, where he pitched in seven games, where he walked 13, struck out 25, and allowed 31 hits in 24 innings with an ERA of 6.75. He started two games against St. Cloud last year and had a 4.25 ERA
