The St. Joseph Mustangs blew a three-run lead Friday in a loss to Jefferson City, but St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team bounced back Friday night inside Phil Welch Stadium with an 8-0 shutout of the Renegades in game two of their three-game series.

The Mustangs improve to 28-11 this season and 22-10 in the MINK League. St. Joseph’s lead is back to three games over Sedalia in the North Division standings.

St. Joe scored one run in the first inning and started to pull way in the third with three more runs. That was more than enough for the Mustangs pitching staff.

Osvaldo Raya earned the win as he threw seven scoreless innings. He struck out 10 and allowed only four hits. Nikko Pablo and Jake Purl each threw a scoreless inning of relief.

Erasmo Gonzalez and Joshua Lincoln had two hits each to lead St. Joseph, while eight different players had one run batted in.

The Mustangs and Jefferson City close out their three-game series Saturday at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
