The St. Joseph Mustangs rallied from a two-run deficit in the ninth inning Friday night at Phil Welch Stadium and they were able to defeat the Nevada Griffons 7-6.

Mustangs’ first baseman Ramsey Scott hit a walk-off, three-run home run to right field with two outs to send St. Joe to it’s fourth consecutive win and their second walk-off win of the season.

St. Joseph’s summer college baseball team is now 32-13 this season and 25-12 in the MINK League.  The Mustangs also increased their lead in the North Division to two games as Sedalia lost to Chillicothe Friday 6-3.

St. Joe led 2-0 after two innings and 3-1 after six before Nevada scored four runs in the seventh to take a two-run lead.  The two teams traded runs before Scott’s heroics in the ninth inning.

Jackson Schnurbusch walked to lead off the ninth, Orencio Fisher popped up on the infield, Jacob Richardson drew a walk and then Trent Hill flew out to center for the second out.

Scott hit the first pitch he saw off of Ray Hutchinson for his fifth home run of the season.  He drove in four runs in the game and leads the MINK League with 33 RBI this season.

No one else had a multi-hit game for St. Joseph but Richardson and Schnurbusch each scored two runs, while Fisher and Scott Braren had one RBI each.

Steve D’Amico picked up the win in relief as he allowed one run in the ninth inning.  Preston Felgate made the start for the Mustangs as he allowed just one run and two hits in six innings of work.

St. Joe plays host to Joplin on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
