The St. Joseph Mustangs had their three-game winning streak snapped Saturday night as they lost at home to the Joplin Outlaws, 9-8.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team jumped out to a 5-1 lead after four innings, but Joplin scored three runs in the fifth and five in the sixth inning to take the lead for good.

The Mustangs rallied for two runs in the sixth and one more in the seventh inning, but fell one-run short.

Michael Schulze and Joe Koerper led the offense as they both went 4-for-5 with one RBI.  Schulze scored three runs and Koeper scored twice.

Jeremy Monty was the only other Mustang with a mulit-hit game as he finished 2-for-5.

Stanton Jones made the start and lasted five innings.  He gave up five runs on eight hits, while stricking out four and walking two.

The Mustangs fall to 6-4 this season and 4-4 in the MINK League.
