The St. Joseph Mustangs wrapped up their five-game road trip Wednesday with an 8-5 victory at Joplin.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team went 3-2 on their road trip as they’re now 11-4 this season and 8-4 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs raced out to a quick lead as they scored five runs in the first inning and held off a late Joplin rally.

The Outlaws scored two runs in the seventh inning to pull within 6-5 before St. Joseph pulled away in the top of the ninth with two runs of their own.

Drew Standifer and Jacob Richardson led the Mustangs offense with two hits each, while Jeremiah Figueroa drove in three runs.

St. Joe starter Josh Monson earned the win as he allowed three runs on five hits in five innings of work. Kyle Uhrich threw a scoreless ninth for his fourth save of the season.

The Mustangs return home to Phil Welch Stadium Thursday as they play a doubleheader against Ozark. The first pitch of game one is set for 5:30 p.m.
