Eau Claire, WI - On Sunday, St. Cloud (25-7) battled back from four runs down to get within one but lost 5-4 to Eau Claire (18-15) to snap its seven-game winning streak.
The bats recorded double-digit hits including two from Charlie Condon (Georgia) who brought in the Rox' first run of the game on a double to right-center field. Condon also hit two well-hit balls that ended up in the centerfielder's glove late in the game.
Ethan Mann (New Mexico State) started the rally for the Rox in the seventh inning with a two-run home run over the left-field fence. Mann's third home run of the season cut the Express' lead in half.
On the mound, Brayden Gainey (Alabama) made his third start of the season and went a season-high five-and-two-third innings. Gainey retired the first six batters he faced and kept the Rox in the game late.
The bullpen kept the Rox close late as Logan Herrera (Minot State) and Jonathan Martinez (Texas State) combined for seven outs without allowing a run and gave up just one hit in the late innings.
