The St. Joseph Mustangs looked like they were going to cruise to their eighth consecutive win Saturday night against Joplin, but Mother Nature had other ideas and postponed the game at Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the second inning Saturday against the outlaws, but rain and lightning forced the postponement of the game with one out in the top of the third inning.

The game will be continued at a date that is yet to be determined.

St. Joseph scored all ten of its runs with two outs Saturday as Jordan Guida, Tim Caputo and Patrick Burkhart each drove in two runs in the opening inning.

The Mustangs pounded out seven hits in the first and scored eight runs.

St. Joe added two more runs in the second inning as Caputo and Maxime LeFevre drew bases loaded walks.

Kyle Jackson went 2.1 innings before the rain came as he allowed two hits and struck out two.

The Mustangs are back at home Sunday night as they entertain Chillicothe at 7:00 p.m.  You can listen to the game on ESPN 1550.
