The St. Joseph Mustangs win streak went to six games as they scored eight unanswered runs on way to an 11-2 win over the Jefferson City Renegades.

The Mustangs scored eight runs through two innings, the biggest coming on a three run home run by Mason Holton, before the Renegades finally answered with one run in the bottom of the second.

After the Mustangs scored two more runs in the fourth inning, no one else would score until the bottom of the sixth, the Renegades Cooper Walkoff singling to score Cy Darnell. The scoring would end with the Mustangs scoring one more run in the top of the eighth inning.

Holton led the way hitting going 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI's, all coming on his home run in the second inning. 

Roy Holcomb pitched five innings giving up one run on four hits to earn the win.  Bishop Leblond alum Frank Gall pitched one inning of relief giving up two hits and one run. 

The Mustangs are now 18-2 on the year and return home for a three game homestand.  The first two games will come against the Kansas City Monarchs on Thursday and Friday.  Both first pitches will be at 7pm.
