Another early standout for the Rox, Charlie Condon (Georgia), drove in two more runs earlier on in the game. Condon now has 7 RBIs in the first three games of the summer.
Brady Prewitt (CSU-Pueblo) also had a solid night at the plate. After driving in three runs in the first two games against Waterloo, Prewitt added two more RBI's in the opener against La Crosse.
Returner, Nathan Culley (Minnesota State-Mankato), started on the bump for the Rox and picked up right where he left off last summer. Culley threw six solid innings, allowing just two runs and striking out seven Loggers batters.
