CLOUD, Minn. &ndash; The Waterloo Bucks (18-19) could not recover from a defensive five-run third inning against the St. Cloud Rox (20-15) in a 6-2 setback at Joe Faber Field Wednesday night. Three hits, two walks and a pair of Waterloo errors in the bottom of the third proved to be the difference as St. Cloud plated five unearned runs to open up the second half and month of July in the Northwoods League.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGolden Gophers Alex Boxwell (Minnesota) and Matthew Stemper (Minnesota) provided the two RBIs on the night as the Bucks dropped their sixth straight road decision. Jordan Desguin (1-2) (Florida Gulf Coast) took the loss for the Bucks in the game, laboring through five innings of five run ball. The starter gave up five runs, none earned, on five hits while walking two and striking out five in his second losing start of the year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTaylor Lane (Florida) sent the Bucks in front, 1-0, in the second after scoring on Boxwell&rsquo;s one-out sacrifice fly to right field. Lane led-off the frame with a single to give Waterloo the lead early.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSt. Cloud erased the small deficit with a five-run rally in the bottom of the third. Reese Gregory (St. Cloud St.) tied the game after coming in on a fielder&rsquo;s choice ground ball to third base while teammate Lee Miller (Davidson) coaxed a bases-loaded walk to give the Rox their first lead, 2-1.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThen, with two outs and the bases filled, Boxwell misplayed a fly ball off the bat of John Sansone (Florida St.) in centerfield. The dropped-ball error allowed the bases to clear, resulting in a 5-1 St. Cloud lead heading to the fourth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAndrew Muehlberger (Coffeyville CC) made his Northwoods League and Waterloo debut in the bottom of the sixth and closed the game for the Bucks on the mound. The reliever gave up one run on two hits along with a walk over his first three frames out of the bullpen.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rox manufactured an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh when Jake Farr (Tennessee Tech) scored on a first-base-side ground ball hit by Brett Pope (Western Carolina) to increase the deficit, 6-1.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMatthew Stemper narrowed the gap to 6-2 in the top of the eighth by doubling in Zach McKinstry (Central Michigan) with a line drive to the wall in left. However, the Bucks could not rally in the late-goings, being shut down by Brett DeGagne (North Dakota) in the eighth and ninth frames.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Bucks close the two-game series with the Rox Friday at 7:05 p.m. (CT) from Joe Faber Field. Waterloo returns home Friday, July 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, to open a four-game home stand featuring two games with both the Battle Creek Bombers and Willmar Stingers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFriday&rsquo;s contest with Battle Creek marks a Flat Screen Friday where fans ages 18 and older can register to win one of three 32&quot; flat screen TVs. It will also be a FIREWORKS Extravaganza night with post-game fireworks following the Bucks&rsquo; contest with Battle Creek.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTickets are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kernels.com\/\">waterloobucks.com<\/a>.
