In front of a packed house, the St. Joseph Mustangs put on a thriller scoring a comeback win over the Warren County Crop Dusters and scoring a 5-4 win. 

The Mustangs fell behind early in the second inning, the Crop Dusters Tyler Meyer scoring on a fielding error.  Warren County would extend the lead in the sixth inning with two more runs.

Trailing 3-0 entering the bottom of the seventh, the Mustangs would tie up the game at three a piece, Jordan Black scoring on a single from Ike Book, Jackson Glueck scoring on a sacrifice fly, and Darius Freeman coming across on a wild pitch

St. Joseph would take the lead the very next inning, another wild pitch scoring Mason Holton, and after Frank Gall advanced to third on that wild pitch he would later score on a double from Glueck. 

The Crop Dusters would score one more unearned run off of Jase Johnson before Archer Ogbourne would strike out to end the game

Freeman led the way hitting going 2 for 5 with one run scored.  Trenton Roehler and Michael Infranca pitched three scoreless innings combined from the bullpen.

The Mustangs are now 33-6 on the season with just five games remaining before the playoffs.  They will have on off day on Sunday before traveling to Warren County on Monday.
