The St. Joseph Mustangs had their three-game winning streak snapped as they lost at Sedalia Sunday night, 9-6.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team trailed 3-0 entering the eighth inning but then scored five runs on six hits to take the lead before giving it back in the bottom half of the inning.

Mustangs’ relief pitchers Ben Baker, Mark Robinette and Doug Shields combined to give up six runs on no hits in just two-thirds of an inning in the eighth as Sedalia rallied to win at home.  The three St. Joseph relievers walked six batters in the inning, hit one Bomber and Mustang second baseman Ryan Richardson committed an error that allowed a run to score.

St. Joe committed four errors in the game and walked eight batters total, while Sedalia’s five pitchers combined to strike out 15 Mustangs and didn’t walk a batter all night.

Cameron Bentley led the St. Joseph offense as he went 3-for-4 with his first home run of the season.  He scored two runs and had two RBI.  Brent Seifert also had three hits and an RBI for the Mustangs.

Adam Maddox started for St. Joe and lasted six innings.  He allowed three runs on seven hits, while striking out five and walking two.  Ben Baker (3-1) suffered the loss in relief.

The Mustangs, who are now 31-9 and 25-9 in the MINK League, are back on the road Monday night as they play at Omaha.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and you can hear the game on ESPN 1550.
