St. Joe starter Aaron Baker threw a complete game to earn the win as he improves to 4-1.  Baker allowed three runs on just four hits.  He struck out three and didn’t walk a batter.

In game two, the Mustangs raced out to a 3-0 lead after the first inning, but Ozark scored seven unearned runs with four in the third inning adn three more in the fourth.

St. Joseph did battle back though and eventually won the game in dramatic fashion.

The Mustangs pulled within one run in the seventh and final inning, and Kris Koerper came through with a two-out RBI double to score Emilio Villanueva and tie the game.

Then Joe Koerper hit a sharp ground ball to second that Justin Lois couldn’t handle and Brandon Huske scored the winning run.

Kris Koerper hit another home run in the nightcap and had three RBI, while Swain had two hits and Kyle Richards hit a home run and drove in two runs.

Staten Jones struggled on the mound as he went just 3.1 innings and he allowed six runs on six hits.  Trey Gonsalez earned the win in relief as he went 1.1 innings and didn’t allowed a run.
