ST. CLOUD, MN - The St. Cloud Rox (26-14) took down the Bismarck Larks (17-21) 13-1 on Friday at Joe Faber Field.
The Rox had a head start on offense, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a 3-0 lead. This started a streak of five consecutive innings where the Rox found the scoreboard.
Brett White (University of Iowa) claimed a single in the second inning to get on base and eventually made it to home on an error to extend the advantage to 4-0. In the third, Jackson Legg (Georgia Gwinnett College) laced an RBI single to make the score 5-0.
St. Cloud scored four runs in the fourth inning, starting with a two-run home run by White to make it back-to-back days with a Rox home run in front of the home crowd. After White's home run, Tanner Recchio (University of Minnesota) recorded a double and later scored on a passed ball. Colton Rother (University of Kansas) capped off the scoring with an RBI single to take a 9-0 advantage.
On the mound, Tyler Phenow (Texas Christian University) delivered 4.2 innings while allowing only one run from Bismarck's offense.
The Rox kept the offense going in the fifth by scoring another three runs. White added his third hit of the day and was brought home on a Dylan Westbrook (American River CC) RBI double before Westbrook later scored to extend the lead to 12-1.
Owen Estabrook (Columbia University) added an RBI double in the bottom of the eighth for good measure to make it a 13-1 advantage, and St. Cloud went on to win the matchup 13-1.
