The St. Joseph Mustangs had their seven-game win streak snapped Wednesday night as they fell at home to Omaha, 5-2.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team jumped out to a 2-0 lead after Jon Wegener and Spiker Helms led the game off with singles and came in to score.  Wegener scored on a double steal and Helms crossed the plate on a ground out by Brock Chaffin.

That was all the offense the Mustangs would get.  Omaha starter Ben Heairet scattered six hits the rest of the way and threw a complete game to get the win.

The Diamond Spirit answered St. Joe’s two-run first inning with two in the second to tie the game and two more in the third inning.  Errors by pitcher Cody Cunningham and second baseman Ryan Richardson led to two unearned runs.

Cunningham (4-1) suffered his first loss of the season as he allowed four runs on six hits in five innings of work.  He struck out five and walked two.

Helms was the only Mustangs with more than one hit as he finished 2-for-4.  St. Joseph only had one extra base hit as Richardson had a double in the second inning.

The Mustangs fall to 28-8 this season and 22-8 in the MINK League.  They’re back inside Phil Welch Stadium Thursday as they host Chillicothe at 7:00 p.m.
