The St. Joseph Mustangs picked up their sixth consecutive win Tuesday night as they defeated the Branson Nationals 9-5 at Bolivar.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 11-1 this season and 9-1 in the MINK League.

For the first time this summer the Mustangs didn’t score first in a game, but they came right back and scored at least one run in each inning from the second through the seventh innings.

St. Joseph pounded out 13 hits in the game as Scott Braren led the way with four hits, two runs and two RBI.  Kyle Richards went 3-for-4 two runs and he drove in one run.  Ramsey Scott also stayed hot as he finished 2-for-4 with two runs and two runs batted in.

Miles Gulley picked up the win on the mound as he went 5.0 innings and he allowed three runs on three hits.  Gully struck out four and walked five batters.

The Mustangs are off on Wednesday and then return home Thursday for a league game against Sedalia.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and it’ll be broadcast on 680 KFEQ and here on StJosephPost.com.
