The St. Joseph Mustangs broke their two-game losing streak as they defeated Ozark, 9-5, inside Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 21-6 this season and 17-6 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs raced out to a 4-0 lead after four innings before the Generals scored three runs in the top of the fifth.  St. Joseph bounced back with four runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning and Ozark never got closer than two runs the rest of the way.

St. Joe pounded out 13 hits as Kris Koerper led the way as he went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored.  Brent Seifert, Brock Chaffin, Jordan Guida and Mark Robinette each added two hits each.  Benton graduate Jake Kretzer also had two RBI on two sacrifice flies.

Kyle Jackson (3-1) worked six innings to get the win on the mound.  He allowed six runs and three unearned runs, while striking out four and walking two.
