Thunder Bay, Canada - St. Cloud (14-12) picked up its first shutout win of the season, 6-0 against (6-20) Thunder Bay. Zach Lauzon (Concordia St. Paul) pitched six strong inning to earn his first victory of the season.
Chad Bible (San Diego State) got the Rox on the board in the top of the second inning as he scored from third base on a wild pitch.
