ST. CLOUD, MN – The St. Cloud Rox (30-15) took down the Minnesota Mud Puppies (6-14) 13-8 on Monday at Joe Faber Field to earn their 30th win of the season.

St. Cloud added another two in the top of the second as Tanner Recchio (University of Minnesota) set the tone by making it on base for the second time of what turned into four times on the day. He scored on a groundout before Colton Rother (University of Kansas) added an RBI single to extend the lead to 5-0.
The Rox offense exploded in the fifth inning, scoring five runs with patience at the plate and taking advantage of what the defense was giving them to take a 10-3 lead in the game.
Tyler Phenow (University of Minnesota) received the start on the mound and was able to deliver six innings for the Rox.
St. Cloud kept the offensive momentum going, scoring a run in the next three innings. Legg reached home on a groundout from Tyler Bishop (University of Nebraska – Omaha), Brandon Pelechowicz (American River CC) put together an RBI single, and Bishop brought home another run on a fielder’s choice.
