The St. Cloud Rox (12-24) won their third straight game, topping the visiting Duluth Huskies Thursday night at Joe Faber Field in St. Cloud.

St. Cloud kicked off the games scoring with one run in the bottom of the third, when Ricardo Sanchez stole home putting the Rox up 1-0.

The Rox broke the game open in the sixth inning, with Sanchez leading the way. After Jack Barrie drove home Ryan Weisenberg on a sacrifice fly, Sanchez came through when St. Cloud needed it most, delivering a two-RBI single to center field to put his team ahead for good.
