The St. Joseph Mustangs split a doubleheader with Chillicothe Thursday night at Phil Welch Stadium, falling in game one 3-1 before bouncing back to win the second game 7-0.
St. Joe’s summer college baseball team is now 19-6 this season and 16-6 in the MINK League.
In game one, the Mustangs only had two hits in the game as Chillicothe starter Sean Rackowski threw a seven-inning complete-game.
The Mudcats scored two in the third inning and added one run in the seventh.
St. Joseph made it a 2-1 game in the fourth inning and had the bases loaded with one out, but failed to score a run.
The Mustangs’ Jacob Richardson had a triple and Ramsey Scott drove in the only run with a single.
Miles Gully suffered the loss as he allowed two runs on four hits in 4.2 innings of work.
In game two, St. Joe used a four-run third inning and a three-run fourth, and that’s all they would need as the game was called in the top of the 6th inning because of lightning.
In the third inning, Orencio Fisher, Jerry Houston, Josh Cassidy and Scott each had a two-out RBI hit, while Fisher and Powell each drove in a run in the fourth.
Fisher and Houston each finished with two hits.
Preston Felgate earned the win as he is now 4-0. He allowed no runs and five hits in 5.2 innings pitched.
The Mustangs play at home again Friday as they host Clarinda at 7:00 p.m. inside Phil Welch Stadium.
