The St. Joseph Mustangs had their six-game winning streak snapped Thursday night at Phil Welch Stadium as the lost to Clarinda 2-1.
St. Joe’s summer college baseball team is now 27-11 and 17-10 in the MINK League.
The Mustangs scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the first inning as Brandon Huske scored on a Joe Koerper ground out. That was all St. Joseph would get though as Clarinda pitchers allowed just six hits and none after the sixth inning.
Dixon Marble suffered the loss despite throwing well as he is now 0-2 this summer. Marble went seven innings and allowed two runs on eight hits. He struck out two and walked two batters.
Clarinda scored single runs in the fourth and seventh innings and that was enough to hold off the Mustangs.
St. Joseph is back at Phil Welch Friday for a doubleheader with the Branson Nationals. The first pitch of game one is set for 5:30 p.m.
