The St. Joseph Mustangs picked up their second consecutive shutout as they blanked Sedalia, 1-0, Friday night inside Phil Welch Stadium.

St. Joe’s summer college baseball team improves to 18-6 overall this season and 11-6 in MINK League play.

The Mustangs scored the only run of the game in the fourth inning as Joe Koerper, Mike Sherburne and Zac Johnson each singled to start the inning and Brandon Huske grounded into a 4-6-3 double play, but Koerper scored on the play.

That was more than enough support for the St. Joseph pitcher staff.

Ryker Fox went 6.1 innings to earn the win as he is now 5-0 this summer with a 0.28 ERA.  He allowed just three hits, while striking out three, walking four and hitting four other batters.

Brett Ash worked a perfect ninth inning for his ninth save in nine chances this summer.

Koerper and Sherburne had two hits each to lead the Mustangs’ six-hit attack.

St. Joe is on the road Sunday night as they play at Clarinda.  The first pitch is at 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on 680 KFEQ AM and here on StJosephPost.com.
