St. Cloud Rox News Release
Alexandria, Minn. - The St. Cloud Rox and the Alexandria Blue Anchors were back at it after three days off for the Northwoods League All-Star break. The Rox fell to the Blue Anchors by a final score of 5-2.
The game went scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning when the Blue Anchors posted a run off a sacrifice fly and one on a solo home run by Tim Cusick for a 2-0 lead over the Rox.
Alexandria would post another run in the bottom of the fifth to take a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning.
St. Cloud was finally able to get things going in the sixth as Blake Headley led off the inning hitting a single. Dustin Breshears then earned a walk and a pass ball would move both runners to scoring position. A sacrifice fly to center field by Tim Colwell would score Headley for the Rox to trail 3-1. With two outs on the board a wild pitch brought home Breshears to trail the Blue Anchors 3-2.
In the bottom half of the inning Alexandria put up two more runs, one of which was on a wild pitch and their final run in the game came on a ground out to short. The Rox would get out of the jam posting a double play and then catching a fly out to left field.
