June 10, 2012 - Northwoods League (Northwoods)
St. Cloud Rox News Release


ST CLOUD- The St. Cloud Rox three game winning streak was snapped on Saturday night by the Alexandria Beetles at Joe Faber Field. The Beetles won a walk-filled affair 11-5 to snap a seven game losing streak and avoid a sweep at the hands of the Rox.

Alexandria jumped out in front for a second straight night, this time with a three run first inning.

The Beetles scored their first run on a Ben Moore (Alabama) single, the second on a Rox infield error and the third on an RBI single. All three runs scored with two outs in the inning.

The Beetles struck again in the top of the third inning with two more runs to make the score 5-0 before the Rox got one back in the bottom of the third. With runners on the corners, Phil Imholte (St Cloud State) scampered home while Ben Morgan (Georgia Southern) was caught in a rundown between first and second base.

The Rox tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning with a four run rally. Two runs were walked in by Alexandria pitchers, who walked ten batters in the game (St. Cloud walked eleven).

The tying runs were scored on an Andy Henkemeyer (Minnesota) two-RBI single through the right side of the infield to make the score 5-5.

The Beetles pulled away with a five run seventh inning that featured four hits and an error by the Rox defense. Alexandria's eleventh and final run was scored in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly.

With the loss the Rox are now 5-6 on the season and in fourth place in the Northwoods League North Division, four games behind Mankato who are 9-2 and riding a five game winning streak.

The Beetles improve to 3-8 but are in last place and six games behind the MoonDogs.

The Rox are off Sunday and hit the road early Monday morning for a trip to Thunder Bay.
