I spent both Saturday and Sunday hanging out at Joe Faber Field for the opening weekend for the St. Cloud Rox.

The St. Cloud Rox were defeated by the Bismarck Larks 9-6 on Saturday night in St. Cloud's home opener at Joe Faber Field. The Rox were up 6-4 going into the top of the 9th, but Bismarck scored 5 runs to take the lead and were able to hold on in the bottom of the inning to win.

The St. Cloud Rox won their second game of the season on Friday night, shutting out the Bucks 4-0 in Waterloo, Iowa.

Former Twins' 2nd baseman Steve Lombardozzi joined me on WJON Thursday and will be the special guest of the St. Cloud Rox Saturday night. Lombardozzi will throw out the first pitch, sign autographs and take pictures with fans before the Rox home opener Saturday night against Bismarck.

The St. Cloud Rox lost 12-4 at Waterloo against the Bucks Thursday night. Waterloo scored 3 runs in the 2nd, 2 in the 3rd, 2 in the 5th and 2 in the 6th. They also added 3 more insurance runs in the 8th inning. The two team combined to commit 6 errors.

The St. Cloud Rox earned their first win of the season Wednesday afternoon 5-3 at Rochester. The Rox trailed the Honkers 3-1 going into the 9th inning but St. Cloud scored 4 runs in the 9th to take the lead.

There is lots to see and do coming off the holiday weekend around central Minnesota. Get your bluegrass fix out in Richmond, enjoy a family fun event at Lake George, learn the sport of Roller Derby with the SCAR Dolls, catch the St. Cloud Rox home opener and see some classic cars at the Rollies May Car Show.
