LAST TIME OUT
The St. Cloud Rox had an impressive outing on the road against the Rochester Honkers on Sunday, and continue to roll after claiming the first-half title in the Great Plains West.
St. Cloud would find the scoreboard in the fourth inning, first with an RBI single by Carter Jorissen. Not long after, Ethan Gibson would crush the baseball and tie up the ball game at 3-3 with a 2-run home run.
On the mound, Carter Mick provided a phenomenal four innings in relief. He wouldn’t allow any of the first eleven Honkers he faced to reach first base, and finished the night with three strikeouts while allowing just one run.
In the seventh, Nolan Geislinger tacked on another run with his second home run of the season.
The offense supported Mick to their fullest in the eighth by scoring six runs to retake the lead. The exclamation point was a bases-clearing double from Dominic Smaldino, and the Rox were up 11-8 by the end of the eighth inning.
Lightning struck twice for Gibson as St. Cloud’s second baseman added another home run in the ninth inning. A little later in the top of the ninth, Augusto Mungarrieta claimed the first grand slam of the Rox season.
The Rox would end the contest in front 16-8, and added another victory to an incredible first half, which already resulted in punching their ticket to the playoffs as Great Plains West first-half champions.
PROBABLE STARTERS (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
STC- Riane Ritter will make the start in the first half finale on Monday night. Ritter has picked up 26 strikeouts while walking 13 across 26.1 innings this season for an ERA of 2.05. In his last start, he went five one-hit two-run innings against Badlands with five strikeouts and four walks.
ROC- Ryan Higgins gets the ball for game two of the series in Rochester. Across 19 innings, he has walked 10, struck out 13, and allowed 17 hits for an ERA of 6.63. In his last five innings of play, he has allowed eight runs with five strikeouts and three walks. He is the only active Rochester pitcher that has a win to his name this season.
