Kris Koerper drove in Griff Gordon in the first inning and Gordon had an RBI ground out in the third, before the Griffons scored three runs in the bottom of the third to take the lead.

Koerper then hit a two-out, two-RBI double in the fith inning to give St. Joe the lead back before the Griffons took control.

Nevada tied the game in the sixth with a two-out, two-RBI single by Cal Hogan and they broke the tie in the seventh with another two-out, two-RBI single by Fico Kondla.

The Griffons added insurance in the eighth with five runs off Mustangs’ reliever Jace Anderson.

Blake Kolons suffered the loss in relief as he allowed two runs on two hits in 1.1 innings.
