The St. Joseph Mustangs have started another winning streak after dropping a pair of games last week.

The Mustangs (15-2) capped it off with a 10-6 win at Nevada Sunday. St. Joseph led 7-6 after the seventh and scored three key insurance runs in the eighth.

Dom Felix went 2-for-4 in the game with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored. Bishop LeBlond graduate and soon-to-be Missouri Western Griffon Frank Gall was 2-for-2 with a run scored and two driven in.

St. Joseph had arguably its most thrilling win of the season thus far on Saturday with a 2-1 walkoff against the Sedalia Bombers at Phil Welch Stadium. 

Savannah native Truman Bodenhausen scored the winning run on a fielder's choice to end the game in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Mid-Buchanan grad Denton Biller was brilliant Saturday, tossing five hitless innings in relief, striking out 10 of 17 batters faced.

The Mustangs also beat Nevada 5-0 on Friday. Sam Pitts got the start and win on the mound, going five innings and striking out one.

St. Joseph stays on the road to face the Des Moines Peak Prospects on Monday. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.
