\n\tWaterloo, IA—\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter gaining a share of first place in the North division after last night's victory, the Rox dropped tonight's game by a final score of 5-3 to the Waterloo Bucks.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Rox fell behind early, as they trailed 4-0 heading into the top of the 4th inning. Michael Strem (Boston College) led the top of the inning off with a single, and Joe Tietjen (UNC Asheville) followed the Strem single with a double of his own, lacing a fastball over the head of the left fielder to score Strem all the way from first to give the Rox their first run. Tietjen finished the night 3-4 from the plate.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWaterloo pushed their lead to 5-1 entering the 7th inning, when Connor Crane (Mcneese St) tripled to lead off the inning for St. Cloud. Crane later came around to score on a Reese Gregory (SCSU) RBI single.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tErik Martinez (Cal-Berkeley) came on in relief in the 7th for St. Cloud and was dominant on the mound, giving up just one hit in two innings of work.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tTrailing 5-2 entering the top of the 9th, Tietjen led off the inning with his 3rd hit of the night, a seeing eye single that found a hole on the left side of the infield. After two Bucks errors loaded the bases for the Rox, Lee Miller (Davidson) hit a sacrifice fly into left field to cut the deficit to just two as Tietjen scored from third. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe comeback effort fell just short, however, as the Rox were unable to score any more runs and lost by a final score of 5-3.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWith the loss, the Rox saw their season high winning streak end abruptly at four.\n<\/p>\n
