Baker, Mustangs blank Clarinda to snap road losing streak

The St. Joseph Mustangs broke a five-game road losing streak Monday night as St. Joe’s summer college baseball team won at Clarinda, 2-0.

Aaron Baker (2-1) threw a complete-game shutout as he allowed just five hits and struck out six.

Mark Robinette single home Maxime LeFevre in the fourth inning to break a scoreless tie and then Jake Kretzer hit a solo home run to lead off the sixth.

That was all Baker would need as he got out of a bases loaded, two-out jam in the six inning.  And Clarinda put two base runners on in the ninth before Baker struck out Brandon Thomasson to end the game.

Robinette, Kretzer, Kris Koerper, Tanner Lubach and Kyle Simpson had one hit each as the Mustangs had just five hits in the game.

St. Joe improves to 9-6 this summer and 7-6 in the MINK League.  They return to Phil Welch Stadium Tuesday night for a non-league game with North Kansas City at 7:00 p.m.
