St. Cloud Rox Show Fight in Loss to Thunder Bay

THUNDER BAY, ON (WJON News) -- The St. Cloud Rox (12-6) fell to the Thunder Bay Border Cats (9-9) by a score of 10-5 on Friday. The Rox now head home to get ready for a game with the Willmar Stingers on Saturday night.

The Rox took an early lead in the 2nd inning when Jackson Akin jacked his 3rd HR for the season and gave St. Cloud a 1-0 lead.

The Cats took the lead thanks to a home run of their own and an RBI single in the 3rd. St. Cloud cut the margin to 4-3 thanks to a miscue by Thunder Bay in the 5th, and it was 4-3.

The Rox would again cut the Cats' lead to a run in the 6th inning. After loading the bases, St. Cloud was able to push two runs across with a sacrifice bunt and a sac fly to make it a 6-5 game.
