The St. Joseph Mustangs lost for the third time in four games as they lost Saturday inside Phil Welch Stadium to Sedalia, 7-1.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team gave up single runs in the first and fourth innings and fell behind 2-0.  Benton graduate Jake Kretzer drove in Jordan Guida in the fifth inning with a single, but that’s as close as they’d get.

Sedalia broke the game open with three runs in the seventh against Mustangs’ starter Adam Maddox.  Maddox (2-1) allowed five runs and seven hits in 6.2 innings of work.

St. Joseph’s offense was limited by Bombers’ starter Aaron Baker as he threw a complete game five-hitter.

Kretzer, Guida, Spiker Helms, Mark Robinette and T.J. Dailey each had a single in the game.

The Mustangs fall to 21-7 this season and 17-7 in the MINK League.  St. Joe is back on the road Sunday as they play at Clarinda.  The first pitch is at 7:30 p.m. and you can hear the game on ESPN 1550.
