The St. Joseph Mustangs pushed their winning streak to four games Friday night with a victory against Nevada, 8-3, inside Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 25-8 this season and 21-8 in the MINK League, and they’ve now won 11 of their last 12 games.

The Mustangs jumped out to another quick lead as they scored two in the second and added single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 4-0 lead.

Nevada answered back in the sixth to make it a game with three runs, but St. Joseph pulled away with one run in the seventh and three more in the eighth inning.

St. Joseph starter Kyle Jackson improves to 2-1 this season with the win as he went 6.2 innings and allowed two earned runs and six hits.  The relief trio of Carson Smith, Phillip Wilson and Chris Green threw 2.1 innings of hitless baseball to preserve the victory for Jackson.

Kyle Simpson, Mark Robinette and Tanner Lubach led the offense with two hits each, while Jordan Guida stayed hot as he hit is sixth home run of the summer.  Jake Kretzer added two RBI for the Mustangs.

St. Joe is back at Phil Welch Saturday as they play a doubleheader with Chillicothe beginning at 5:30 p.m.  Both games will air live on ESPN 1550.
