The St. Joseph Mustangs picked up their second consecutive win Tuesday as St. Joe’s summer college baseball team defeated the Kansas city Monarchs, 5-2, in a non-league game at Phil Welch Stadium.

The Mustangs improve to 10-6 this season.

St. Joseph fell behind right away as Bubba Blau allowed two runs in the top of the first inning, but that was all Blau and the Mustangs pitching staff would allow.

Blau is now 1-0 as he gave up just two runs in six innings and he struck out five.  Nik Jurado and Phillip Wilson combined for three scoreless innings of relief.

The Mustangs offense bounced back after the two runs as they answered with four of their own in the bottom half of the first.

Mark Robinette and Patrick Burkhart drove in one run each in the first, and Tanner Lubach singled home two runs.

Burkhart added an RBI single in the sixth inning to cap off the scoring.

St. Joe returns to Phil Welch Stadium Wednesday night as they entertain the Kansas City Monarchs at 7:00 p.m.  You can listen to the game live on 680 KFEQ.
