\n\tRochester, MN—\n<\/p>\n
\n\tVisiting Mayo Field for the first time this season, the Rox split Saturday's doubleheader with the Honkers as the teams made up a rained out game that was originally scheduled to be played on June 16th.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tGAME 1—-\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn a makeup from a game that was originally scheduled to be played at Joe Faber Field, the Rox instead were the home team in Rochester and defeated the Honkers by a final score of 10-2. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Rox were the home team in game number one, and Joe Tietjen (UNC Asheville) got the offense going in the first inning with a 3-run blast over the left field wall. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tLucas Gilbreath was dominant on the mound for the Rox, as he got the start and pitched 6 of the 7 innings. He allowed just 4 hits while striking out 5 in 6 shutout innings for St. Cloud.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tHanging onto a 3-0 lead heading into the 4th inning, Webb Bobo (SE Louisiana) continued his recent tear at the plate, as he launched a 2-run bomb over the short field in right fence to pad the Rox cushion. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tMichael Strem (Boston College) added a solo homer in the fifth inning, his first of the season for the Rox. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tWith a 7-0 lead in the bottom of the 6th, John Sansone (Florida St.) hit his 3rd homerun of the season for St. Cloud, and the Rox led 10-0.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Honkers would add 2 meaningless runs in the top of the 7th, as the Rox took game one in Rochester by a final score of 10-2.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tJoe Tietjen was the SC Times player of the game for St. Cloud. Tietjen was 2-4 with 4 RBI's in the Rox victory. For more Rox coverage, please visit www.sctimes.com\n<\/p>\n
