WATERLOO, IOWA - The St. Cloud Rox (32-12) took down the Waterloo Bucks (27-20) in an impressive 2-1 comeback on Thursday.
The Rox had a solid start from pitcher JP Robertson (University of Mississippi), who threw five innings of work while tallying eight strikeouts and allowing just one run.
In the ninth, with their backs against the wall down 1-0, St. Cloud would find the scoreboard. Austin Haley (Kansas State) tied the contest at 1-1 with an RBI Double. Moments later, Haley scored off a wild pitch to give St. Cloud their first lead of the ballgame at 2-1.
With a tight contest, Brandon Jaenke (Viterbo University) stepped onto the mound for St. Cloud in the bottom of the ninth, and he would earn his league-best 11th save of the 2025 season to keep the Rox in front 2-1 at the end of the game.
The All-Star Trophy and Awards Star of the Game was JP Robertson.
