The St. Joseph Mustangs stayed hot Thursday night as they swept a doubleheader against the Ozark Generals, 3-2 and 6-1, inside Phil Welch Stadium.
St. Joe’s summer college baseball team has now won eight of its last nine games and they improve to 11-3 this season and 7-3 in the MINK League.
In game one, the Mustangs rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the fifth inning as Evan McDonald tied the game with an RBI single with two outs and then Matt Wollnik scored on a throwing error on the same play to give St. Joseph the lead.
John Millan earned the win in relief as he went 1.1 innings and didn’t allow a run or a hit. Steve D’Amico picked up his second save with a scoreless seventh inning.
Tyler Cox led the Mustangs offense with two hits and an RBI.
In game two, St. Joe used a six-run third inning to come back from a 1-0 deficit and that was all Miles Kilgore would need.
Kilgore started and sent six innings. He gave up just one run on four hits as he improve to 3-0 this season.
McDonald had two hits and an RBI, while Kyle Uhrich drove in two runs. Cox, Dade Wheeler and Davey Casciola added one RBI each.
The Mustangs play Ozark again Friday night as they host the Generals at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
