DICKINSON, ND \u2013 The St. Cloud Rox (42-19) split a road series against the Badlands Big Sticks (38-24) after falling 7-2 on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rox scored first in the contest from a <\/span>Jackson Cooke<\/span><\/a> (University of Pittsburgh) RBI Single to take a 1-0 lead in the second inning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joshua Dykhoff<\/span><\/a> (University of Minnesota-Crookston) started the ballgame on the mound for the Rox and would complete two innings of shutout work with two strikeouts. Dykhoff also was the designated hitter for St. Cloud and drove in a run in the top of the seventh inning to pull the game back within one at 3-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
