The St. Joseph Mustangs snapped a two-game losing streak Friday night with a 2-0 victory over North Kansas City in a non-league game at Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team had been shut out the previous two games and the offense struggled again against North Kansas City, but two runs was all they needed.

The Mustangs got a 2-out RBI single from Mike Sherburne in the fourth inning to break a scoreless tie and then St. Joseph scored an unearned run on an error by NKC second baseman Patrick Burns.

Sherburne, Joe Koerper and Zac Johnson were the only Mustangs to get a hit with one single each.

Jeremiah Figueroa picked up the win as he went six innings and allowed just four hits.  He struck out four and walked three.

Redmond Floyd, Jayme Lovelace and Grant Gavin threw one inning each of relief to hold off North Kansas City.

St. Joe improves to 20-8 this season and they’re back at home Saturday against the Ozark Generals.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and it’ll air on 680 KFEQ and here on StJosephPost.com.
