The St. Joseph Mustangs bounced back from their loss to Chillicothe Sunday as they went to Joplin and destroyed the Outlaws, 16-3.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team wasted no time jumping out to a 6-0 lead as they scored one run in the second inning and added five more in the third.

Joplin scored single runs in the third and fourth innings to get within four runs, but that was as close as the Outlaws would get.

St. Joseph added three in the fifth, two more runs in the seventh and four in the eighth inning.

The Mustangs pounded out 20 hits in the game as Mark Robinette led the way as he went 4-for-6 with four RBI, two runs scored and two doubles.

Maxime LeFevre, Kyle Simpson, Shane Segovia and Josh Baker added three hits each.  Baker drove in four runs and Segovia had two RBI.

Jordan Guida and Jake Kretzer scored three runs each.

Mustangs’ starter Staten Jones improved to 4-0 with the win as he went five inning and allowed three runs and seven htis.  Jones struck out seven and walked three.

St. Joseph improves to 22-8 this season and 18-8 in the MINK League.  They’ve won eight of their last nine games and six straight on the road.

The Mustangs are back at home Tuesday for an exhibition game against the USA Military All-Stars.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
