The St. Joseph Mustangs had their five-game winning streak snapped Saturday as they lost to Clarinda 3-2 inside Phil Welch Stadium.

Despite the loss, St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team clinched a spot in the MINK League playoffs because of Chillicothe’s 8-2 loss at Sedalia.  The Mustangs are 1.5 games back of first-place Sedalia in the North Division. St. Joseph has to win their last two games and Sedalia has to drop its final game Monday for the Mustangs to win the division.

St. Joe gave up three unearned runs in the third inning to Clarinda and they turned out to be enough for the A’s.

The Mustangs scored two runs in the eighth inning but couldn’t push another run across as they fall to 35-15 and 26-14 in the MINK League.

Orencio Fisher and Kyle Uhrich each had three hits for St. Joseph as Uhrich and Jacob Richardson and one RBI a piece.

Logan Jacik (3-1) suffered the loss as he allowed the three unearned runs and four hits in seven innings of work.

The Mustangs are on the road Sunday as they play at Clarinda.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on 680 KFEQ AM.
