The St. Joseph Mustangs had their brief two-game road winning streak snapped Tuesday as they fell on the road at Omaha, 4-2.
The loss drops St. Joe’s summer college baseball team to 14-5 this season and 7-5 in MINK League play.
The Mustangs jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning Nick Sebastian was hit by a pitch and Central graduate Hayden Steele drove him in with a double.
The lead would evaporate in the fifth inning as Omaha would scored two runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth.
St. Joseph got one run back in the eighth inning as Benton graduate Lucas Powers scored on error by Omaha shortstop Ryan Grotjohn, but that’s all the Mustangs would get.
Miles Gully suffered the loss as he went 5.1 innings and allowed five hits and four runs. He struck out seven and walked three.
The Mustangs are back in Omaha Wednesday as they play the Diamond Spirit at 7:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on 680 KFEQ and here on StJosephPost.com.
