The St. Joseph Mustangs bounced back from blowing a seven-run lead and losing at Nevada Sunday, as they won at Joplin Monday night 11-6.

St. Joe’s collegiate summer baseball team is now 4-2 and 3-1 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning, but the Outlaws came back to tie it 3-3 in the fourth before the St. Joseph offense came alive.

The Mustangs scored four runs in the fifth inning, two in the sixth and two more runs in the seventh to cruise to the five-run victory.

Colton Pogue, Alex Phillips, Daniel Covert and Zach Purdue led St. Joe with two hits each, while Pogue hit his first home run and drove in three. Covert added two RBI and Phillips scored three runs.

Jonathan Lynch got the win in relief as he threw 3.1 no-hit innings. Lynch struck out four and didn’t walk a batter. Mahlyk Davis started for the Mustangs and lasted 4.2 innings. He gave up five runs and eight hits.

St. Joe will stay in Joplin and play the Outlaws again Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. inside Joe Becker Stadium.
