The St. Joseph Mustangs suffered their third consecutive loss as they blew a one-run lead in the ninth inning and fell at Omaha, 7-6.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the ninth inning when Kyle Simpson walked with the bases loaded and Patrick Burkhart scored.

Chris Green came on to get his first save of the season but he blew the save by allowing two runs on two hits and he also walked two batters.

St. Joseph drops to 2-3 on the season after winning their first two games and they’re 1-3 in the MINK League.
