Mustangs split a doubleheader at Ozark

The St. Joseph Mustangs split a doubleheader at Ozark Tuesday, winning game one 2-1 before falling in the nightcap 6-1.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team is now 10-4 this season and 7-4 in the MINK League.

In game one, Drew Standifer and Louis Mele each drove in a run in the fourth inning to put the Mustangs up 2-0 and that was all the St. Joseph pitch staff would need.

Osvaldo Raya is now 3-0 this summer as he allowed one run on seven hits in five innings of work. Nikko Pablo threw 1.2 scoreless innings and Kyle Uhrich got the final out of the game for his third save of the season.

In game two, the Mustangs scored one run in the top of the first inning, but that was all they’d get. Ozark tied the game in the bottom of the first and then broke the game open with three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth inning.

Matt Diaz suffered the loss as he went 4.2 innings and allowed four earned runs on seven hits.

St. Joe had only four singles in the game. Mele had two hits and drove in the only run.

The Mustangs wrap up their five-game road trip Wednesday as they play at Joplin. The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. inside Joe Becker Stadium.
