Neither team could score in the 8th or 9th. St. Cloud scored twice in the top of the 10th on a sacrifice bunt, and a HR by Reese Holzhueter to take an 11-9 lead. Concordia would answer back with 3 runs in the bottom of the 10th and take the win.  St. Cloud has another doubleheader on Saturday against Southwest Minnesota State.
