The St. Joseph Mustangs lost for the third time in three games at Nevada this season as they fell on Sunday 8-2 at Lyons Stadium.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team is now 18-8 this season and 13-8 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs fell behind 2-0 after two innings Sunday, but came back to tie the game in the third with two runs.

Connor Bacon had an RBI double and then Kyle Uhrich singled to bring in Bacon.

The game remained tied 2-2 until the bottom of the eighth inning when St. Joseph went to its bullpen.

Jonathan Lynch came on in relief of Mustangs’ starter Michael Lydon-Lorson, who allowed just four hits and two runs in seven innings of work.  Lynch hit the first two batters he faced and then walked another to load the bases.  Drew Ferguson then came on for Lynch and he walked three more batters and allowed two hits as six runs scored in the inning for Nevada.

St. Joe only had five hits Sunday as Louis Mele finished 2-for-4 and Tyler Cox had the other hit.

The Mustangs have at least one win against every team in the MINK League this season except Nevada.  They’re 0-3 in their three games at Nevada and they’ve been outscored by the Griffons 30-9.  St. Joseph still has three games left with Nevada at Phil Welch Stadium, the first of those is July 6.

The Mustangs stay on the road Monday as they play at Joplin.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m.
