The Mustangs trailed the Griffons 4-2 entertaing the eighth inning, before rallying with one run in the eighth and two more in the ninth inning.

After Nevada walked three batters in the bottom of the ninth, Brody Santilli came threw with a one-out RBI single and St. Joseph scored twice to complete the complete the comeback.
