The St. Joseph Mustangs stayed unbeaten against non-league opponents this season as they defeated Baldwin City 9-3 Wednesday night inside Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 9-3 this season and they remain 5-3 in MINK League play.

The Mustangs took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, but Baldwin City scored three in the third to take the lead.  St. Joseph answered right back in the bottom of the third as they scored three unearned runs and never trailed again.

The game remained 4-3 until the sixth when the Mustangs broke it open with five runs.

Orencio Fisher and Jacob Richardson had two hits each, while Louis Mele drove in two runs and Tyler Cox had a home run and three RBI.

St. Joseph starter Jacob Hurst (1-1) earned the win as he went 5.1 innings and allowed two earned runs and four hits.  He struck out three and walked three batters.

Mustangs’ relievers Colton Kenagy, Jonathan Lynch, Matt Diaz and Logan Campbell combined to throw 3.2 innings.  Those four didn’t allow a run and only gave up one hit.
