The St. Joseph Mustangs will have towait at least two more days to try and get back in the win column as St. Joe’s summer college baseball teams’ game at Clarinda Sunday was suspended due to severe weather.

The game was called after seven innings with the scored tied 1-1 as heavy rain, 60 MPH wind, hail and lightning swept through the area.

They’ll finish the game on July 13 when St. Joseph travels to Clarinda for their scheduled game.  The suspended game will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the second game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Northwest Missouri State graduate Jayson Huett threw all seven innings for the Mustangs as he allowed just four hits and one run.  He struck out five and walked only one batter.

The only run Huett gave up was with two outs in the fifth inning.  He retired the first two Clarinda batters, but Jarvis Smith singled and Seth Spivey had a two-out RBI double to tie the game.

St. Joe scored its lone run in the third inning.  Spiker Helms opened with a single, advanced to second on an error by pitcher Gabe Wellmeyer and then scored when catcher Austin Acherl also committed a throwing error to first base on a dribbler in front of the plate off the bat of Brent Seifert.

Seifert and Brock Chaffin each had two hits for the Mustangs.

St. Joseph remains 21-7 and 17-7 in the MINK League.  They’ve drop four of their last six games after falling to Sedalia Saturday.

The Mustangs have their first day off in two weeks Monday and return to Phil Welch Stadium Tuesday for a 7:00 p.m. matchup with Clarinda.
