Mistakes cost Mustangs in 11-2 loss at Clarinda

riggertMustangsThe St. Joseph Mustangs had their two-game win streak snapped Monday night in Clarinda as they fell the A’s, 11-2.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team drops to 20-14 this season and 16-14 in the MINK League.

The Mustangs got off to a slow start Monday as Clarinda starter Jake Meloche retired the first 14 St. Joseph batters in the game until Shane O’Connell got a base hit with two outs in the fifth.

The A’s scored their first two runs on two passed balls by O’Connell behind the plate and scored two more runs because of an error at third by Connor Foreman.

In all, St. Joe committed four errors in the game, had two passed ball and gave up five unearned runs.

Clarinda led 6-0 after six innings before the Mustangs finally got on the scoreboard as O’Connell and Kyle Richards each had RBI singles in the seventh.

The A’s answered right back and put the game out of reach with one run in the bottom of the seventh and four more in the eighth inning.

Redmond Floyd suffered the loss as he went five innings and allowed five hits and two earned runs.  He struck out eight and walked three.

Richards had the only mulit-hit game for St. Joseph as he finished 2-for-3.  Payton Scarbrough and Zac Johnson scored the two runs for the Mustangs.

St. Joe is back on the road Tuesday as they play a 7:00 p.m. game at Sedalia.
