Our Mustangs salvaged what could have been a disastrous three-game set of games in Lexington over the past few days with a 9-2 win over host Bryan Station in the finale of the Lexington road trip.  Falling to GRC 12-0 without getting a hit on Friday, and experiencing more of the same against Lexington Christian, 11-0 Saturday afternoon with only two hits.  Following the LCA loss, we came right back to face Bryan Station.  The Defenders scored a run in the home first inning to take the lead, but in this one, we responded iwth a run in the second to knot up the game, as Luke Neltner sat down the home team for the next five innings, while the Mustang put 2 on the board in th fourth, 3 more in the fifth, and another 3 runs in the sixth, building u a 9-0 lead.  The Defenders scored a meaningless run in the home half of the seventh and the Mustangs  had secured the 9-2 victory.  Isaac Amin and Brady Rowe both went 2 for 4 at the pate.  Rowe had 2 RBIs and Amin 3 of them.  Both Rowe and Amin had doubles – Rowe one, and Amin two of them.  With Amin’s latest pair of doubles, he closes to within one of the tying the St. Mary/Bishop Brossart “Most Doubles In A Single Season” record.  Isaac also increased hi number of RBIs to 33.  Luke Neltner pitched the much needed 7 inning complete game, allowing 2 runs and 3 hits while walking 3 Defenders, and striking out 9 of them.   

With the Bryan Station win the Mustangs season record reads 16-18 heading into the final week of the regular season where we will host Pendleton County at 5:15pm Monday at the MAC, and travel to Ludlow Tuesday for a 5pm contest at Lemker Field.  The Post-Season begins on Saturday (May 16th) when we face Scott in the 37th District semi-finals at 11am.
