The St. Joseph Mustangs won their second straight road game as they defeated Chillicothe 4-2 at Shaffer Park Monday night.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team has now won eight of their last nine games as they improve to 14-4 overall and 7-4 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs jumped out to a quick lead Monday as they scored three runs in the top of the first inning.

Joe Koerper had an RBI double to start the scoring and then Josh Cassidy and Zac Johnson drove in one run each.

Those three runs proved to be enough for the St. Joseph pitching staff.

Starter Ryker Fox didn’t allow a run and gave up just one hit over six innings as he improves to 4-0.

Chillicothe scored two runs in the seventh inning to pull within one run.  Tanner Smith allowed two runs on two walks as he failed to get an out.

Grant Gavin came in to get the next six outs, striking out five.  Then Brett Ash allowed one hit in the ninth but he picked up his seventh save of the season.

Mustangs’ shortstop Matthew Johnson had an RBI groudout in the eighth inning for St. Joe’s final run.

The Mustangs are back on the road Tuesday as they play at Omaha.  The first pitch is set for 7:00 p.m.
