WILLMAR - The Willmar Stingers were able to load the bases in the 9th inning, but closer Blake Stelzer forced a game ending 4-6-3 double play and the St. Cloud Rox defeated the Stingers 4-3. Starting pitcher Luke Albright was the story of the game for St. Cloud after a terrific performance on the mound. The right hander pitched 5 innings, giving up 2 runs and was one strikeout shy of tying the team record for a single game, finishing with 12 K's.

Outfielder Ben Norman joined WJON's "Hang Up and Listen" to talk about playing baseball at Iowa, his history with baseball, what it's like living with a host family, his hitting philosophies and more.

Luke Roskam's squeeze bunt gave the Rox a 1-0 lead and they were able to add an insurance run an inning later after a wild pitch.
