The St. Joseph Mustangs split a doubleheader at home Thursday against Ozark, winning game one 4-2 before losing the nightcap 6-5.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team is now 12-5 and 9-5 in the MINK League.

In game one, the Mustangs scored single runs in each of the first four innings to take a 4-0 lead, and it stayed that way until the top of the seventh inning.

Ozark scored twice in the seventh but that was all they’d get as St. Joseph’s Michael Lydon-Lorson threw a complete game to get the win. He allowed two runs on four hits and is now 3-0 this season.

Easton Fortuna and Josh William each had two hits and an RBI to lead the Mustangs, while Pat Dillon also drove in a run.

In game two, St. Joseph and Ozark were tied 2-2 until the seventh inning before the Generals scored four runs to take control of the game.

The Mustangs rallied with three runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh to pull within one run, but they fell short of a sweep.

John Millan suffered his first loss of the season as he allowed six runs on five hits in 6.1 innings of work.

Brett Marr led St. Joe’s six-hit attack as he finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Drew Standifer tripled and drove in three runs.

The Mustangs are back at home Friday night as they host Ozark in the final game of their three-game series. The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
