ST. CLOUD, MN \u2014 The St. Cloud Rox (16-14) defeated the Minnesota Mud Puppies (1-13) by an 8-4 score on Saturday, June 29th. The Rox, who outscored the Mud Puppies by a 5-0 margin in the final three innings, have now outscored opponents by an 86-37 margin in the seventh inning or later this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Piercen McElyea<\/a> (Tarleton State University) made the start on the mound for St. Cloud, allowing just one run on one hit in five innings. The right-hander struck out four, departing with the Rox in the lead. They took that lead in the second inning when Carter Hanson<\/a> (University of Massachusetts) led off with a double and scored on a single by Andrew Savage<\/a> (Pepperdine University). St. Cloud\u2019s advantage grew in the third inning, as two runs scored on a sacrifice fly by Hanson and a double by Will Henson<\/a> (Ohio State University).<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Minnesota briefly took a 4-3 lead after six innings, St. Cloud marched right back with five unanswered runs. The Rox tied the game at four in the seventh, as Brody Williams<\/a> (Kent State University) came home from third on Henson\u2019s two-out steal of second base. An inning later, the Rox plated four to take the lead for good. Four consecutive walks, the final being a go-ahead free pass to Sawyer Smith<\/a> (University of Kansas), pushed the Rox in front. They would build their lead to four on Williams\u2019 first hit of the summer, a two-run double to right-center field.<\/span><\/p>\n

White St. Cloud\u2019s offense rallied, the final two Rox relievers out of the bullpen made sure that the comeback amounted to a win. Sean Hogan<\/a> (Ave Maria University) did not allow a hit or run in his inning and a third before passing the baton to winning pitcher Aydan Decker-Petty<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(Indiana University). Decker-Petty was downright electric in the game\u2019s final two innings, striking out all six hitters he faced to drop his earned run average to 0.82.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s All-Star Trophy and Awards Star of the Game is Aydan Decker-Petty!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rox will finish their four-game homestand and two-game series against the Mud Puppies at 4:05 p.m. on Sunday.
