Mustangs win third straight with 11-3 win over Diamond Spirit

The St. Joseph Mustangs took advantage of eight walks and two hit batters Thursday night and cruised to an 11-3 MINK League win at home against the Omaha Diamond Spirit.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team jumped out to another early lead as they scored four runs on just one hit in the first inning, and then they broke open a 4-2 game by scoring six runs on two hits in the fifth.

Four Omaha pitchers combined to give up the ten free passes and the Diamond Spirit also committed two errors.

Cameron Bentley was the only Mustang with mulitple hits as he finished 2-for-5 with two RBI.  Mark Robinette went 1-for-3 with four RBI, while Kris Koerper and Landinn Eckhardt also drove in one run.

Andrew Polly (2-2) went six innings to earn the win on the mound.  He allowed two runs on six hits, while striking out two and walking only one.

St. Joseph improves to 24-7 and 19-7 in the MINK League.  They’re won three in-a-row and four of their last five games.  The Mustangs are back at home Saturday as they entertain Clarinda at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
