The St. Joseph Mustangs were back at home Friday night inside Phil Welch Stadium, but St. Joe’s summer college baseball team had its two-game winning streak snapped as they lost to Chillicothe 7-1.
The Mustangs fall to 26-12 this season and 21-11 in the MINK League.
The Mudcats took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and eventually led 4-0 before St. Joseph scored its only run in the fifth inning.
Kyle Richards doubled with one out in the fifth and then Jackson Schnurbusch drove him in with a single.
The Mustangs had only six hits in the game as Richards went 2-for-4. Jacob Richardson added a double for St. Joe.
Mustangs’ starter Preston Felgate entered the game with a 0.30 ERA but he suffered the loss as he allowed four earned runs in 6.1 innings of work. Felgate drops to 4-2 this summer.
