The game was scoreless until the bottom of the ninth inning as Joplin put two runners on base with one out off of Mustangs’ reliever Jonathan Lynch. Closer Steve D’Amico came in for Lynch and was able to get a strike out of Brett Macary before Drew Tipton singled with two outs to score J.C. Santos.
