DICKINSON, ND \u2013 The St. Cloud Rox (36-23) took a defeat at the hands of the Badlands Big Sticks (25-35) by an 8-5 score on Wednesday, July 31st. The Rox finish July with a 19-9 record and still lead the second-half Great Plains West standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rox scored four of their five runs on long balls, as Ben Higdon<\/a> (University of Southern Mississippi), Carter Hanson<\/a> (University of Massachusetts), and Noah Greise<\/a> (University of Nebraska Omaha) all went deep. Higdon\u2019s 10th home run started the scoring in the first inning and preceded a run-scoring single from Greise. Hanson launched his ninth home run, a towering solo shot over the right-field scoreboard, in the third. Greise then tied the game at five in the fifth with a two-run bullet to center, his second home run of the year. As an offense, the Rox collected 14 hits, with Greise driving in three runs and Braden Calise<\/a> (University of Central Florida) smacking three base hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the mound, relief pitchers Nathan Anderson<\/a> (Creighton University), Owen Marsh<\/a> (St. Petersburg College), and Luke Zmolik<\/a> (Ave Maria University) each struck out three Big Sticks. The trio of relievers handled a combined 6 \u2153 innings, allowing only two total runs on three hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

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