Mankato, MN - After winning the long opening game of the doubleheader, St. Cloud (32-10) couldn't get the bats going in the night cap in a 3-0 loss to Mankato (30-13).
Riley Cornelio (TCU) had his best outing of the season as Wednesday night's starting pitcher, allowing just one run on one hit in his five innings of work. Cornelio struck out nine MoonDogs during his time on the bump in game two.
The Rox' bats had a hard time heating up in the second game of the doubleheader, recording just two hits. Jordan Barth (Augustana) had a hit in the first inning, bringing his total on the day up to four leading the team.
Joe Battaglia (Southern University) came in late and cleaned up for the Rox, pitching two and two-thirds innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits and gave the bats a chance in the ninth inning.
