Waterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks (14–20) got their first win of the season over the St. Cloud Rox (21–13) on Monday, taking the second game of the two-game series 5–3.

Bucks starting pitcher Patrick Mastrian played a big role in the win, working through 8.0 innings and allowing just three earned runs. Mastrian carried a perfect game into the sixth inning, but gave up three runs on three hits in the frame. Chaney Trout relieved Mastrian in the ninth, striking out his final two batter faced to seal the win.

Elliot Good was electric on both sides of the ball for the Bucks, going 2-for-4 at the plate with one run scored and an RBI, while also making big plays at shortstop. One such play featured Good leaping up in the air in the middle infield to snag a line drive that was smoked off the bat of Rox infielder Kyle Jackson.

With the first half coming to a close, the Bucks will look ahead to the second half hoping to carry some momentum with them moving forward. The Buck open the second half at home against the Mankato MoonDogs on Tuesday with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m.
