The St. Joseph Mustangs suffered their second consecutive loss as they fell at home Saturday night to Nevada 6-1.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team drops to 25-10 and 18-10 in the MINK League.  The Mustangs now have just a one game lead on both Chillicothe and Sedalia in the MINK League North Division.

St. Joseph fell behind 2-0 in the second inning and the game remained that way until the sixth.  The Mustangs got a lead off double from Orencio Fisher and Davey Casciola drove him in with a ground out to shortstop to make it a 2-1 game.

Nevada quickly grabbed momentum back in the top of the seventh inning as they scored two runs and then put the game away with two more in the ninth inning.  Three of six Griffon runs were unearned runs.

The Mustangs only had four hits against Nevada starter Doug Molzahn, who threw a complete game.  Other than Fisher’s double, St. Joe had singles from Jacob Richardson, Louis Mele and Matt Wollnik.

John Millan (4-1) suffered his first loss of the season despite throwing well.  He allowed just four hits and one earned run in six innings of work.

The Mustangs are on the road Sunday as they play at Clarinda.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. from Eberly Field.
