The St. Joseph Mustangs picked up their second straight victory over Omaha Sunday as St. Joe’s summer college baseball team defeated the Diamond Spirit on the road, 6-3.

The Mustangs improve to 20-13 this season and 16-13 in the MINK League.

Omaha led 1-0 until the fifth inning when Eric Swain had an RBI single to tie the game.  Swain finished 2-for-5 for his fourth consecutive multi-hit game.

Payton Scarbrough then gave St. Joseph the lead for in the sixth inning.

The Mustangs’ catcher drove in two runs with a double off the left field wall to break the 1-1 tie, and he scored on an Omaha error as St. Joe led 4-1 in the sixth.

The Diamond Spirit got a run back in the bottom of the sixth, but Scarbrough came through again as he had a two-out, two-RBI single to cap off a 3-for-4 night and a career-high four RBI.

That was more than enough for St. Joseph starter Stanten Jones.  He lasted 6.1 innings and allowed just two runs on five hits.  Jones struck out seven and didn’t register a walk.

Joe Koerper and Connor Foreman added two hits each for the Mustangs.

St. Joe is back on the road Monday as they play at Clarinda for a 7:00 p.m. first pitch.  The game will be broadcast on ESPN 1550 and here on StJosephPost.com.
