The St. Joseph Mustangs picked up their second consecutive win as they rallied to defeat Nevada, 5-4, Thursday night at Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 4-4 this season and 3-4 in the MINK League.  Nevada suffers its first loss of the season as they fall to 6-1 and 5-1 in league play.

The Mustangs fell behind 2-0 and 3-1 early but battle back to tie it 3-3 after the third inning as Cory Segui scored on the wild pitch by Chris Mullins.

Nevada took a 4-3 lead in the fourth and that held up until the seventh when St. Joe took it’s first lead of the game.

Tanner Lubach single to drive in Kyle Simpson with one out to tie the game and Spiker Helms walked with the bases loaded to score Mark Robinette to put the Mustangs ahead.

Carson Smith picked up the win in relief as he went three innings and allowed just two hits.  Philip Wilson came on to get the save as he gave up one hit in the ninth but struck out Colten Bessett to end the game.

Lubach led St. Joseph offensively as he went 3-for-3 with two RBI.  Robinette scored two runs, while Jake Kretzer and Helms each drove in one run.
