Andrew Savage<\/a> (Pepperdine University) followed with a three-run shot in the third, turning singles by Higdon and Carter Hanson<\/a> (University of Massachusetts) into a 5-3 lead. Brody Williams<\/a> (Kent State University) then matched him with another three-run blast, his second in the past week, within the same inning. Finally, Camden Kaufman<\/a> (Des Moines Area Community College) ripped his first Rox home run, a two-run laser, in the fourth.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the mound, Kristopher Sosnowski<\/a> (University of Central Florida) made the start for St. Cloud, striking out three in four innings. Tommy Gross<\/a> (University of Minnesota) put forth a solid relief outing as well, punching out four in three innings of one-run baseball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four different Rox hitters finished with multiple hits on the night, with seven scoring at least one run. Higdon ended a triple short of the cycle, driving in two and scoring three runs. Savage and Williams each batted in three runs on their home runs, with Savage walking and scoring twice. Hanson also collected two hits, extending his on-base streak to 15 games.<\/span><\/p>\n
