Bismarck, ND — The Rox (14-7) bounced back with a performance similar to the ones that have led them to among the top teams in the North Division. They took down the Larks in their first-ever game in Bismarck 4-0 for their 5th shutout win of the season.

Shane Selman (McNeese State) led the charge with his second consecutive 3-hit game. He added a run scores, RBI and stolen base. At the top of the order, Cameron Eden (Cal) had his 5th multi-hit game this summer, tying him with Cameron Blaquiere (Western Carolina) for most on the team.

Mason Mamarella (Kent State) also had two hits and a run scored, and stole his 8th base of 2017. Matt Tarantino (Pacific) rounded out the offense with two hits, and extended his hitting streak to 7 games.
