The St. Joseph Mustangs played their first road game of the season Sunday night and St. Joe’s summer college baseball team stayed unbeaten with a 3-0 shutout at Nevada.

The Mustangs improve to 5-0 and they’re 3-0 in the MINK League, while the Griffons fall to 1-2 and 0-2 in league play.

St. Joseph starter Dixon Marble was the story Sunday night as he threw a complete-game shutout and needed only 92 pitches to do so.  He allowed only four hits, while striking out five and not walking a batter.  Marble retired the last 17 batters he faced, had only two three-ball counts and he threw first pitch strikes to 25 of the 30 hitters he faced.

The Mustangs managed only four hits themselves, but they were able to produce single runs in the second, third and fourth innings to build an early lead.

Francisco Alvarez hit a solo home run, his second of the season, in the second inning to get the scoring starter.  Jackson Schnurbusch, who had two hits in the game, had an RBI single in the third and Patrick Dillon scored on a Nevada fielding error in the fourth inning.

The Mustangs are back on the road Monday as they play a doubleheader against the Branson Nationals in Bolivar.  The first pitch of game one is set for 5:00 p.m.
