good evening and welcome inside legendary and historic Phil Welch Stadium for quite the game we have on tap tonight between your present 2025 St joseph Mustangs and some familiar faces of the past making their back their way inside the gates here at Phil Welch the St joseph Mustangs alumni for the traditional and yearly alumni game here at Phil Welch good evening ladies and gentlemen i’m Truman Greel alongside with me tonight Jackson Phelps it’s quite the night on tap we have on hand our current roster of Mustangs versus those guys that you watched winning those nine Mink League Championships of the past and Jackson nothing special like it getting to play you know the current roster you know they want to they want to beat these older guys that think that these older guys might beat these younger guys and it should be a fun exciting matchup lots of connections in that both dugouts that we’ve seen most if not all of those guys in that third base dugout over in that first base dugout at one time or another in the past since the Mustangs became a thing in 2009 but quite the event we have on tap tonight it really is true and you really love to see it some of those familiar faces like you were mentioning just the emotion behind it some of these guys haven’t played in Phil Welch officially for the Mustangs or the or the teams in the past in a in a quite a bit and you know it’s really cool wholesome moment to see them back home you see a bunch of purple shirts in the stands as well their families are all out here enjoying a nice night at Phil Welch and like you mentioned just the culture still remains intact doesn’t matter what team you played for back in the day but if you played here in St joe everyone knows each other in each other’s dugouts chirping it up having some good conversations i was over by the alumni dugout and everyone’s just in a good mood i mean you know last couple of nights with the mink league games it’s always super competitive and nonetheless it’ll be competitive tonight once they step on the field but before the game you really love to see it back home inside Phil Welch everyone’s in a good mood ready for some nice baseball um but a really cool moment to see and you know some familiar names from the past that we have getting to notice Truman um just a really good night here for some Mustangs and Mustangs past baseball coaches just met with the umpires as your current Mustangs lineup about to get announced tonight sam Pitz will take the hill his second start of the season mustangs looking to finish off and finish the home stand at 3 and one took a loss Wednesday night but then back-to-back convincing wins over Mink League opponents brought into this fun Saturday evening affair with fireworks to follow we’ll step aside and be back with the national anthem and first pitch next as we get a look tonight at your Mustang starter Sam Pitts the southpaw gets his second start of the season pitched four innings gave up five runs but also struck out five and walk two in his opening start last Friday night did get bit by the long ball gave up two homers looks to turn that around in his second start last year for the Mustangs he appeared in 11 games but started five of them was 3-0 in 40 in the third innings a12 RA and a.77 whip with 32 strikeouts to eight walks you know Pitts like you mentioned just a guy who’s been really consistent you know wants to throw those strikes i mean you know those runs that he gave up in his first start I mean those are going to come to pass you know you’re going to have games where you know those runs are going to get put on the board but as long as you’re keep on throwing strikes which is Pit’s his his specialty just putting it over the zone and trusting that defense he does it really well had a surplus of strikeouts as well as you mentioned and just a guy tonight you know an alumni game you know not as serious as a mink league game as some would say but Pitts it’s a good opportunity for him to kind of shake off those runs that he gave off in his last start and just get some good reps against some past hitters who have definitely seen some balls like him in the past so pits a good chance for him to get a good bounce back after his first start take a look at the lineup that the alumni will put out there for the start their first nine batters leading off will be Brady Holden Josh Mavic in the two-hole ryan Hook in that threehole Johnny Coyen Ike Book anchor the heart of the order then Dale Wheeler Cole Slabowski TJ Daly and Brock Schaen round out the alumni starting nine these past guys these alumni not going to take this game lightly they’re wanting to come in here and show these young bucks what it’s all about to be Mustangs alum it’s a beautiful night the rain has passed here in St joseph early this morning downpoured for a while but the tarp is off the field the sun is shining and we’ve got Mustangs baseball on the first Saturday of June here in St joseph Missouri pitts is ready Holden’s ready the umpire’s ready and the first pitch of the night is down in the dirt for ball one now Pitts might want trying asserting his aggressiveness there on the mound runs that one inside and under the chin but Holden is in control now two and0 pitch is trying to regain that control just trying to get those strikes across his own like I mentioned once he gets in that groove Pitts has been hard to stop on the offense just has to regain it that one clips the outside of the zone and keeps it 3-1 24 alumni were able to make it back here tonight for the game should see if not all of them at some point in this game you know these are the types of games where you give everyone a chance let it have fun retire for a while and Holden starts us off with a five pitch walk good discipline at bat from Holden i mean just Pitts didn’t really get give him anything too good to hit so he just said “You know what i’m just going to watch I’m just going to watch every single pitch go by and ends up on first base.” And a good start for the alumni here josh Mavic digs in coach on the current Mustangs but like Johnny Koy takes his talents to the third base dugout he was chirping some of his own players up as they were walking over over to the third base dugout you love to see it i mean motion’s not running too high in here very l loose and laid-back game and K’s not going to let any of his players get the best of him tonight [Music] pitts had great command in his first start just those two walks occurred in his last inning of work and that was an inning where he ended up giving up a grand slam after walking to and hitting a batter he gets ahead of Mavic here one and two [Music] that won’t be grounded off Mavic and called a foul he was trying to convince the home plan umpire didn’t hit him it’s one of those moments Truman appear in the booth i could kind of hear a little it wasn’t a flack wasn’t a thud it was uh I don’t even know what to say little clip you could barely hear the little clip off of Mavic kind of surprised they didn’t let the alumni you know break out the bezer bats or you know let maybe make it harder for the current player you know let let the alumni use the aluminum bats but everyone’s using wood tonight and the first strike out of the night the first victim is Josh Mavic and it’s one out here in the first and the fans are happy as it’s an early taco time strikeout here tonight fans get what they want walking home with free tacos tonight and a nice strikeout nonetheless for Mr pitts up there got him in a two- strike count and really fooled him on the off speed to send him back to the dugout that’ll be Ryan Hook stepping in pits had five strikeouts in his first start was tied for second in the group of returning pitchers with 32 from last year pitts also had 25 at this past spring at Coochis Community College he now has Hook down here 0 and2 looking for his second punch out zed Hook lines one into left field and it will drop in front of McCollum that’s a one out single to put runners at first and second for the Mustangs manager Johnny Koy beautiful piece of hitting from Hook i mean in a two- strike count had to stay a little disciplined and ready pitch is going to give him anything close and took it high and in and drove it right into left field and that’ll move holding up to second base beautiful piece very disciplined at bat from Hook pitts gave up three hits in his opening start and that one from Koya is lined mccllum will let it drop in front of him here comes to the plate holden throw not in time and it’s an RBI single from manager Johnny Koy to put the alumni on top one zip hear the oo’s and o’s from the crowd and we likely we get to see Ky take some batting practice with the Mustangs before every single game and he does have some pop in that bat and he’s showed bits he’s not playing around today and plates the first run for the alumni and only one out now on the wild throw that’ll move both the runners into scoring position koi and Hook move up the extra 90 feet on the errant throw from Mosh trying to get the quick relay now the alumni have a golden opportunity but first pitch swung on from Ike Book is popped right to Chris Koy for the second out all right here for Pitts the most ideal situation to leave these guys stranded but the way these alumni have been hitting off of them i’ve already timed them up pretty well and looking to continue this offensive explosion with these last couple of hits bring both these runners home surprised Mustangs defense hasn’t gone to the full pole for every hitter you know a lot of these guys just looking to pull the ball like to play straight up on all of them so far as now Dale Wheeler steps in wheeler looking to come through for the alumni put up a three spot here in the first with a base hit to the outfield pitts did give up a run in the first in that start last Friday it was on a solo home run now here today he’s given up a run on a walk and two singles now falls behind Wheeler three and one a three ball count here for these alumni hitters and pits still messing around with those fast balls trying to put them on the outside parts of the plate just haven’t been hitting here in this first inning you know there’s always something about trying to strike out the older guys and trying to get to cute is right there it’s another walk second walk of the inning allowed by Pitts and now the bases are juiced for Cole Sablowski look at this approach from Slowowski no batting gloves an old school approach and really love to see it he’s out here ready to grip it no gloves and he’s got a good opportunity here to drive some in for the alumni with the bases juiced the old term raw dogong in it right now talked about that that old school just no batting gloves got to have some strong hands I feel especially with these wood bats i mean those things can be heavy enough and most of those over there in the third base dugout didn’t really see too too many grips on them slowski is just really trying to get good piece here down 02 you know those metal bats we swing they have some good lizard skins on them and whatever you call them enhance the grip 02 from Pitts in there for strike three pitts leaves them loaded in the first but the alumni strike for one they strand three two two walks and two hits in the inning we head to the bottom of the first your Mustangs are coming up to the plate let’s get a look at the Mustangs lineup here tonight down one to nothing early here in the bottom of the first chris Koy at short in the leadoff spot followed by Logan Miller Braden Luke Hart Jack Moss Justin George Truman Bowdenhousen in the sixth hole and then to round out the order Tyler Gundlefinger Parker Griffith and Trevor McCollum and they will face Kyle Jackson gets the at least gets the start here for the alumni chris Coy in his first game in the leadoff spot and he’s first pitch swing and foul and one away coy this is his sixth game and his fifth start he’s five for 17 has four runs driven in two walks two stolen bases and also scored five runs still looking for that first extra base hit yeah but off to a nice solid start this season you know a very productive one for five night last night a two RBI single back in the first inning hit it through that short third gap into left field and jolted the Mustangs offense to a nice win yesterday jackson ahead of him now one and two jackson with the oldtimer wind up over the head don’t see that much now in this day and age of baseball especially with all all the analytics you know keeping keeping everything intact and that string of energy going from the top of your body to the bottom not very many over the head windups nowadays in modern baseball got to love it having the old guys come in here showing them how it’s really done playing the game the old way like you mentioned that could fool this timing these Mustangs hitters weakly grounded back to Jackson bobbles it for a sec but is able to recover and throws out Koi for the first out of the game just didn’t get any part of the bat that Koy was wanting there just kind of squibbled it off the inside kind of near the bottom part of the bat and just put it straight into the dirt but a nice play by Jackson just stuck with it all the way through and productive one out here for the alumni now it’ll be Logan Miller in his fifth start of the season miller had a very nice night last week two for five with a walk and three runs scored very productive night from Miller leads the team with seven runs scored on this early season six for 17 and also like Koi looking for that first extra base hit but has also drawn two walks and stolen a pair of bags that one sky down the right field line it takes hook back into the corner and it’s off the wall there is the first extra base hit the announcer Jinx benefits the Mustangs it’s a one out double from Logan Miller announcer Jinx nice one Truman right off the words you said and you know Miller put it right into that gap near the yellow frog graphics party deck hook just really couldn’t get over there and that’s the other thing with these old guys coming in here don’t have the speed as these college kids and Miller took advantage of that and highend overin fly ball just Hook just couldn’t get over there in time and the Mustangs early runner in scoring position and for the record we’re not calling them old you know they just are they just are the more experienced yes other team but you know just a way to differentiate not not a age agism here these guys are still in their prime it’s a tough play for Hook as that one just kept drifting back on him as Miller got all of that one now stands in scoring position for Braden Lukeart lukeart in his fifth start slow start for him as he’s one for 11 however he’s capitalized with four with five walks and three hit by pitches and has scored eight runs he’s also leads the team in tied for that lead with four stolen bases so while Lucart has not tallied a big number of hits he’s found other ways to be productive by getting on base he’s scoring runs for the Mustangs non Q he’s now in a 3-1 count looking to draw his sixth walk of the year luke Hart last night was 0 for two but way you know drew three walks and scored two runs sometimes that’s you can all all you can ask for out of a ball player like Lucart once again one of the more reliable guys on the base paths got some speed on him and was able to show that off with a couple runs and he put in but now in a 3-2 count doing the same thing he did last night full count offering it’s going to hit him and he’ll take first on the hit by a pitch and those are always ones where when you have three balls on you you really don’t want to get hit by the pitch you’d rather avoid that and not take the sting but nonetheless Luke Hart will take first and it’ll be first and second for the cleanup hitter tonight Jack Mosh yeah once again left-handed hitters on those 3-2 counts coming on the righties they want to play around in the zone can’t give him anything too cheap and right there Jackson was just trying to put it on the inside half just clipped Lucart but a good at bat from Lucart once again getting into those three ball counts mh also in his fifth start takes a big rip the first pitch he sees from Kyle Jackson msh four for 15 leads this team with seven walks been one of the biggest strengths for this Mustangs team six games into this young season is their plate discipline and their ability to work those free passes work counts and get those opponent pitch counts skyrocketing mash a nice double last night right here would be an ideal situation for the same exact thing he’s got Miller and Lucart on the base pads mosh one extra base hit on the air it was a double both last night like Jackson said and also on opening night that one grounded into the right side and through into right field hook is up with it and he’ll keep Miller at third thought about going as the ball got past Daly behind the plate but Jackson there to back it up now the bases are loaded for Justin George beautiful piece of hitting there from Mosh and a nice job by Lukart kind of giving a little bit of a deep getting out of the way and that really fooled Miji over there at second base just couldn’t get over there in time and Justin George in a nice situation and opportunity here for him with only one out on the board george only in his fourth start his fourth game played this season had the night off last night back in that starting lineup today at first base two for 10 has a double and two RBI’s and also has drawn two walks looking to drive in a run here with the bases loaded one out in the bottom of the first one for two in his last appearance those two walks came from the game against the Renegades earlier this week and George really likes to work those counts those 32 3-1 spots and he’s up 1 here early on on Jackson george recently featured on the first episode of Reading with Rally which is up now on the St joseph Mustangs YouTube channel if you haven’t checked it out him and Parker Griffith reading the kids Green Eggs and Ham by Dr seuss alltime classic in a good book i mean we all Aiden in here you read you read Green Eggs and Ham growing up as a kid good man producer Aiden shaking his head good man shaking his head yes nodding his head I guess nodding his head shaking his head feel like two different things you just say nodding for yes and shaking for no meanwhile George has now worked the count three and one in his favor i remember vividly in kindergarten we read that book and then we actually made green eggs and ham by you know putting green food coloring in the eggs okay are you a big ham person you know I’m more of a if it’s if you know talking like you know deli meat and Thanksgiving I’m more of a turkey guy myself um always have been as a kid now I’m not saying I if you got a honey smoked ham on the table I’m going to eat it but I’m more of a turkey guy what about yourself yeah Turkey is definitely where it’s at majority of my family does not prefer ham so fortunately don’t have ham that often george thought it was ball four instead takes strike three right on the inside corner be the second out of the inning for Truman Bowdenhausen that’s a tough pitch to watch by for George i mean righty readyy matchup put it on the inside half a great pitch from Jackson george was kind of giving a look back kind of debating that it was more on the inside half of that batter’s box but just clipped the outside of the plate for the second out bowdenhousen in his fifth start swings it hit the first pitch he sees from Jackson and fouls it off bowdenhousen five for 15 with five RBI’s he’s also scored three runs walked twice and had a double mustangs in their white cutoff jerseys tonight a lot of the guys electing to go no undershirt really show off the guns here in early June the old saying suns out guns out having a little fun here on alumni night bowdenhousen two for four back in the game against the Renegades three RBI’s that night really came alive in the seventh and eighth inning for the Mustangs propelling that road rule victory don’t see very many cut off jerseys nowadays those two-piece jerseys where you wear the undershirt t-shirt underneath don’t see very many of those know back in the day they were very popular royals had one in the early 2000s think the Reds having one Mariners having one bowdenhausen’s going to slap one into center field and down miller’s in to score luke Hard will score mos over to third and the Mustangs take a 2-1 lead beautiful piece of hitting from Bowdenous took the outside pitch right to the opposite side of the field and with Miller and Lucart on the base pads like I mentioned just an easy base hit like that’ll score both of them quality at bat there from Bowdenhausen and he’s continuing his dominant performances here in these last two games now ties the team lead with seven RBI’s now Tyler Gundlefinger steps in and there goes Bowdenhausen and he will be in there standing with his third stolen base of the season mustangs working the base paths once again and now Gundfinger with not just ducks on the ponds at first and third he’s got two runners in scoring position now two outs gundlefinger only two hits on the year looking to keep the improvements going in the batting stance gundlefinger in his fifth start two for 12 but has driven in four runs and walked three times last night was 0 for four but reached on a walk and an air and also scored a run in that 11 to4 win over the Chilikathy [Music] Mudcats down in the count here one and two to Kyle Jackson jackson trying to get out of it and limit the damage gundlefinger reaches and pokes one to Wheeler at third he’ll throw across to Koy and Ky dropped the ball and Gundlefinger’s going to be safe mosh scores and it’s now 3-1 Mustangs on the E3 i mean just last night Gundlefinger has away with those errors getting with reaching on base back in the fourth on an E5 and same thing here gets on first head manager Johnny Koy just couldn’t glove that one at first and that’ll bring in one more gundlefinger reaching first and poking a little fun at his manager you know it’s tough to have to get low right there as now they try to back pick Gundfinger this was a good throw from Wheeler good feeling position just a little too low and Ky wasn’t able to handle it stays alive for Parker Griffith griffith now flies one deep right field back is Hook and onto the warning track he’ll make the grab to retire the side but not before three come across for the Mustangs on three hits a hit by pitch in an air we head to the second it’s 3-1 Mustangs mustangs put up a three spot in the bottom of the first to take a 3-1 lead over the alumni we had a look at tonight’s Mustangs defensive lineup from left to right in the outfield Trevor McCollum Braden Luke Hart and Logan Miller then in the infield it’s Jack Mos in the hot corner chris Koy and Truman Bowden howen Manning the middle and Justin George over at first then your battery tonight will be Sam Pitts and Parker Griffith to start alumni sent seven to the plate in the first but it could only capitalize with one run on the Johnny Koy RBI single it’s TJ Daly steps into the box to get us started here in the second daly is the catcher tonight for the alumni he’s quickly ahead two and 0 wonder what the T and the J stand for because I feel like I’ve met people that you know they have a name like TJ or CJ or you know where it’s like the T that those two letters stand for your first and middle name but I’ve also met people who met a kid met a kid you know graduated with him named CJ and it just called him that because his name was Carter Jackson just called him CJ or you know you have the you know CJ’s where you’re just the junior so that’s you know they call you you know CJ or TJ i feel like there’s three three different ways you can you know do the double letter as the name as TJ we’ll ground this one over to Bowden how who fires over to George at first that’s a lead off ground out here in the second for the alumni you know you really can do whatever with those types of situations with those names didn’t really have too too many friends growing up where um the names really had a big you know gap like that where it had two different initials in the same name can’t really remember any off the top of my head that’ll be Brock Chaffen rounding out this alumni order pitts quickly has him down that was a good spot from Pitts on the outside part chaffen didn’t want anything to do with it but a good spot and a good frame by Griffith that one again grounded to the right side bowdenhousen has it just on the outfield grass and he’ll toss it over to George once again and it’s two quick round outs here in the second bowdenous getting his reps over there at second base to start the second inning and doing a good job the footwork maintaining good fielders etiquette and making some nice throws over to Justin George you love to see it this Mustangs defense really been reliable for these pitchers this season we’ve seen some fantastic plays not saying those were too fantastic but you love to have a good reliable defense behind you now we have our first pinch hitter of the night Frankie Alvarez pinch hits here for Brady Holden see this a lot tonight you know a lot of different guys just trying to get in have some fun on the diamond meanwhile Pitts continues to shove here to start the second a much improved second inning than we saw in the first alvarez stays alive by fouling one back and like you mentioned earlier Truman Alvarez in this spot you know you’re going to see a lot of subs here in the alumni game getting to see everyone here just make all the fans happy see some of their favorites from the past alvarez lines one and that will get into left field past Mosh it’ll be a two out single here for the alumni to bring up Will Dryberg and you know Alvarez there these guys are really liking those pole situations like you said the defense probably would want to come over into more of a pole situation but a nice piece from Alvarez pitts just hasn’t been reliable to those right-handed hitters on the inside half they’ve been really working on them taking those into left field dryberg currently plays for the Kansas City Monarchs at the Kansas City Amateur Baseball Association so it’s already his third time here out at Phil Welch as the Mustangs have already taken on the Monarchs twice and we’ll see them again as we head throughout this summer a familiar spot here for Dryberg it’s had a surplus of at bats here at Phil Welch so not an unfamiliar territory by any means two outs on the board pitts been moving through this lineup so far dryberg was one for one against Pitts the first time he faced him as he grounds that one koi has it deep in the hole it’s short it’ll be late not in time as Dryberg beats it out now backto back singles here with two outs nice piece there by Dryberg didn’t do too much with it but a nice dribbler and over at third Mosh couldn’t really get over there in time now it’ll be Luke Powers stepping in powers pinch hitting for Ryan Hook hook was one for one he’s singled was left stranded it third in that opening inning hits again has his third consecutive batter down two strikes see if Powers can replicate the success of the previous two at bats of getting a two out hit here off pits runner takes off for third alvarez was looking to steal a base there on Griffith powers found it off y2 from Pitts rounded towards the left side alvarez tried to get it koi’s just going to have to eat it again as he feels it deep in the hole and know after two quick ground outs the bases are now loaded love to see from these alumni hitters again just pulling it towards that third base shortstop side and Ky just has backto-back opportunities just can’t do anything with it as this is put deep and far and these alumni hitters hustling out of the box all the way down to first and just haven’t been able to give these Mustangs any easy plays here now two outs bases loaded now one of the more relatively familiar faces here pinch hitting noah Bowdenhausen steps into the box bowdenhousen had his time with the Mustangs led the team to their ninth Mink League title last year wonder if he won’t try to poke one to that right side over towards his brother Truman see if his brother’s a little nervous said he pulls it mh boots it at first but able to stay with it and fire across to George and get out of the jam alumni get three two out singles but can’t capitalize we head to the bottom of the second mustangs still lead three to one braden Barry takes over on the mound for the alumni for Kyle Jackson who in one inning gave up three runs on three hits two earned though only two of those runs will be earned and he’ll give way to Braden Barry as Trevor McCollum greets him rounding out this Mustangs order before the top of the lineup returns mccollum in his fifth start was a late scratch from yesterday’s ball game three for 10 with five walks and three stolen bases on this young season mccollum against the Renegades one for two drew three walks and had a stolen base and also came in to score in the fifth inning column had 26 hits and 96 at bats last year in 31 games played column in his fourth year with the Mustangs looking to climb the hill and get the Mustangs their unprecedented 10th Mink League title he grounds that full count pitch over to Slowowski it’s short who’s able to make the play and retire McCollum for the first out i mean a good piece of hitting good contact off the bat just got off the end of the bat off McCollum just poked it right over to shortstop in time and we’re back to the top of the order chris Koy takes his turn for the second time he grounded out to the pitcher his first time up Z1 foul down the third base line past what looks like Darius Freeman wearing the manager’s helmet tonight you know the Mustangs normal manager is in the other dugout so guys are having to fend for themselves and you love to see it i mean like I said the how loose this game feels having Darius Freeman at third base and he’s chirping it over on the alumni side he’s been doing that the whole game and Freeman’s the perfect guy if you ask me Truman to have over at third base just a lively character but also a nice leader here for the Mustangs trying to get them a win it’s Braden Barry on the mound now grew up playing on the same travel ball team that Brain Luke did so I bet Luke Hart’s hoping he can get a turn in the box get at bat versus his former teammate graduated from Savannah High School is that one too coy really gets into it lines it down the left field line but a nice running grab made out there in left by Ryan Hook i mean minus the outs the Mustangs both hitters have put in some good contact on the bat koy pulled it right off the sweet spot of the bat but Hook read it all the way off the off the bat and made a tremendous play saving extra bases for this alumni team and got a wonder on the mound barry just loving the way this defense has been playing for him to open up his evening logan Miller’s one for one he doubled and scored a run last inning didn’t want to go around but he did miller this past spring finished up at Minnesota State mano hit 328 in 51 games 43 hits and 131 at bats drove in 21 also walked 24 times count evens at two and two here two outs nobody on here in the bottom of the second mustangs maybe looking to replicate the two out magic the alumni had in the top half of this inning three straight singles after two quick outs but weren’t able to capitalize noah Bowdenhausen grounded out to third to all my Bearcat fans out there opening the football season going out to Minnesota Mano i’ll be there with them it’s going to be either really nice really cold you just never know with those Minnesota Mano weathers miller strikes out swinging does a full 360 on it 1 2 3 go the Mustangs in the bottom of the second we head to the third mustangs still lead 3 to one here on YouTube with it being you know fatherdaughter date night and you know Snow White meet and greet thought we’d break out the Snow White trivia so the first one I have for us tonight Jackson is what was the original name for Dopey during early script development was it A Smelly B Deffy C We Whezy or D Tipsy that’s a tough one i mean honestly I I I wasn’t a big Snow White watcher having two little sisters i’ve seen about all of them but Snow White was never the one that got replayed so not going to know this one i’m just going to go off and say Whezzy it’s going to be my official guess so type them down in the comments we’ll have that answer coming up shortly it’s another new pinch hitter here for the alumni pinch hitting for Ike Book but Pitts gets the pincher down swinging it’s a quick three pitch punch out here to start the third third strikeout for Pitts and a nice off speed there and Pitts really had the better of him and just worked that inside part couple fast balls he saw in there and then just fooled him on the off speed now Holton coming up here it’s a bet for these alumni hitters mason Holton came in as a defensive substitution for Dale Wheeler the bottom half of last inning now takes his first at bat wheeler would work to walk in his only played appearance of the night she’s upstairs yeah the original Snow White animated movie was the first Disney princess film back all the way in 1939 I believe wow got an Oh let me let me fact check this i do that might not be the case 1937 actually so even earlier than that the original Disney Princess film as Holton now swings through a breaking ball and it’s two and two that’s the one Disney Princess movie that just got its liveaction remake definitely mixed reviews coming out definitely know there was some fire going on during the early production about what the film actually might stand for as another breaking ball drops in on the outside corner and that sends Holton walking back to the dugout that’s Pitts’s fourth K of the night love to see it again off speed just dropped it right in the zone and Holton didn’t even want to put a bat to it just had to watch that one go another pinch hitter Jackson Heiml he’s first pitch swinging he’ll sky one out to center it sends Luke Hart all the way back and that one’s up against the 400 sign and off the wall hypo will cut the brakes there at second and he’ll be on with a two out double good piece of hitting there from Himl just drove the up and up pitch out into center field and in that sun just couldn’t get just couldn’t get a good eye on it the ball once again like I mentioned got lost in that sun out in center field lukart just couldn’t get the read and good piece of hitting there from Himl now it’ll be Brady Holden pinching for TJ Daly it’s his first look at Pitts that one flared out towards center and that’ll get down for a hit back-to-back two out hits and the alumni have their second run on the board with the RBI single by Brady Holden once again these alumni hitters just working on that inside part of the plate pulling the ball out to the outfield really good looks from these guys coming in really giving these Mustangs players a hard time and only a one-run ball game here to start the third inning and a nice piece of hitting from Holden now here in the nine spot but his second turn at the dish it’ll be Josh Mavic mavic was 0 for one he got caught looking back in the first [Music] that one roped down the right field line but a nice running grab made by Logan Miller up against the right field line for the third out but not before a two out double and a two out single played another run for the alumni we’re oneird of the way through this game your Mustangs still lead 3 to2 braden Barry out for his second inning of work and he’ll get to face his former Traverball Travel Ball teammate Braden Lukeart leads off the Mustangs here he was 0 for 0 was hit by a pitch in the first but came around to score on the two-run single from Truman Bowdenhausen do you have fond travel ball memory days Jackson you know I really do you know back in elementary school predominantly middle school is when I really started to take travel ball a little bit more serious i loved just going to those tournaments with your friends you know even if that was a bus ride or just a car pooling with each other’s parents and stuff it was just always such a fun time for me and I don’t know if I can think of anything i mean I did win the MVP in my eighth grade still have the trophy in my room um it was about 20° outside snowing i was playing left field i got the MVP for getting the leading hit and then one out in the last inning of the game i made a diving catch in left field to keep the runner on second that was the almost fondest memory I have of Travel Ball but a good time meanwhile Luke Hart wins the battle of former Travel Ball buddies ripping a 1-1 pitch in right field for a leadoff single good piece of hitting lucart wins the battle against his buddy an old Travel Ball friend and that ball right off the bat good exit velocity a good chance for MSH to get Lucart moving on these base pads and speaking of travel ball Truman what’s like your the first thing that comes to mind when you think of your travel ball memories i think it was a couple games ago talked about when I almost hit a walk-off Grand Slam game yes but I mean I will definitely you know those early like March travel ball games when it was still cool outside i remember one we were playing I think it was up in can the Kansas City area okay it was cold enough that one of the parents brought like his hunting tent and set up like a little heater in it that way our bats could be warm as that one lined off the glove of Mavic into right field as Jack Mosh reaches on his second hit of the evening mustangs really putting some barrels here on Barry and the same spot i mean Lucart put it through that second base gap msh was doing the same thing just a little bit more at Mijiback at second base just couldn’t get the good glove on it with Lucart speed easily making it over to second base and now no outs and two hits here to open up the bottom of the third for the Mustangs also remember winning the 9UA Missouri State Championships the only ever you know travel ball Missouri State championship I won but I remember that love to hear that was the catcher in that winning game there was one year we should have we would have competed at the double A i think it was when I was 11 11u but you know with how again how like the Missouri whatever travel ball USSA stuff works like when you when you start to win games you get bumped up to the next level well I I would say our team we were a really really good double A team as that one off the bat of George grounded to third and not in time george is going to reach as Wheeler wasn’t able to handle that one at the hot corner and now the bases are full of current Mustangs for Truman Bowdenhousen and they are going to mark that down as an E5 just couldn’t get a good glove on it good speed out of the box george had and bases loaded no outs now Bowdenhausen who had a two RBI single back in the first trying to do a similar approach we to finish that up and it was the year like that was 11 we were really good double A team but unfortunately the week before we won a tournament then we got bumped up to AAA okay so unfortunately we didn’t go to go to state that year because again like I said we were a really good double A team but we you know we wouldn’t have had much success at you know however they the AAA however you know the Missouri travel balls you know youth baseball classifications were but fond travel ball memories in ya once I got into junior high played with some friends as Bowden taps one softly over to Mavic at second he’ll go to first for one but Lucard will cross for the Mustangs fourth run of the evening i mean just a self unselfish at bat there you know didn’t want to try to do something too fancy just wanted to get some runs across especially just with a one-run lead extends it to two and still only one out and runners in scoring positions on second and third for Gun for Gundlefinger gundlefinger reached on an air his first time up a run came across but unfortunately not charged with the RBI t’s first pitch swing and that one’s a screamer into the right center gap and over the head of Book Moshes in right behind him is George and it’s a two-run double for Tyler Gundfinger that ball screaming off the bat of Gundlefinger just put it over the hand of Hook and that’ll drive two more in for the Mustangs they lead it six-2 in a three-run bottom of the third that ball just hung up in the air trim and just far enough to get over the glove and Parker Griffith now up and actually this will be Jace Johnson substitution Jace Johnson you’re right johnson gets the turn with the stick he’s been known for his lights out pitching so far four innings pitched 10 strikeouts but he gets to channel his inner show Otani Babe Baruth take a turn at the plate against the Renegades tunings pitched six strikeouts and no runs and no hits so you mentioned I mean he’s just a lights out pitcher this is a cool moment just get to see some hitters come to the plate just for fun you know they probably begged coach like I don’t know if you remember that interview with that one baseball player who had the opportunity to go hitting college ball and he was like “What lsu guy?” Yeah what’ you What’ you tell i thought that’s one of one of the alltime great clips he recently got promoted to AAA i saw it came across my feed but hold let’s see if we can find his name it was a it was a while back before co SEC tournament LSU’s playing and you know those tournaments you just get down you know to pitching and you know double switching and all that stuff and he convinced LSU manager to let him take a turn at the dish todd Peterson todd Peterson todd Peterson he hit a two-run double in 2018 a two-run double in the 12th inning of an SEC tournament game against South Carolina and then postgame he confessed to not only the reporters but his coach that he actually never hit in high school yep he told his coach he hit bombs because he said uh he said he told the LSU coach is that one into center gundle they were trying to pick Gundlefinger off he’ll move up to third on the E1 but Todd Peterson told his coach he hit bombs in high school and then postgame he said he actually never hit he said he hit in BP and LSU coach couldn’t believe it because he smacked one was the one of the big game clinching hits for LSU in that tournament game one of the alltime baseball stories i mean Oh yeah that’s why baseball it’s you know one of the oldest sports if not the oldest sport here in America and just so many stories that are writen have been told and unfortunately have been lost to history meanwhile Jace Johnson takes a big old rip almost came out his shoes on that one as the count goes full now he’s wanting to get one i can tell i mean that thing was nowhere near his zone but he gives a shrug over to the over to the home dugout saying “Why not?” He’s wanting one here on 3-2 he stays alive three and two want to know the conversation that it was between Johnson and I mean I wonder if it was over to Freeman was like Johnny’s not in you got to let me go up to the plate you got to let me swing he’s getting his opportunity here full count still as full count offerings outside and Jace Johnson in his first plate appearance of the summer draws a walk quality at bat from Johnson i know inside I could tell by the way he was playing that feed on that last pitch he really wanted to take the rip but took everything in him to just say you know what got to play baseball the right way baseball the right way and plates the walk and ducks on the pond on first and third for Dom Felix tom Felix pinch hits for Trevor McCollum felix leads this team in hits with seven seven for 16 also leads the team in RBI’s with seven also has drawn five walks last night was three for four he had two singles and a double three RBI has also had a walk in that win over Chilikothy johnson’s going to take off for second but unfortunately Felix is going to swing through for strike two and foul it off johnson didn’t get any at bats this past spring at Hutchinson Community College in case you were wondering you know maybe that’s why he got the atbat but nonetheless he got a played appearance and he drew a walk felix pokes one into right field and it’ll drop into score comes Gundlefinger and Dom Felix has his eighth RBI on the year mustangs really quality at bats watching the ball all the way through the hands of Barry and he’s going to get likely pulled out of this situation after his fourth earned run here and he’s responsible for Felix and Johnson on the base path actually just maybe trying to get a talk here with coach trying to get it figured out but a 7 to2 Mustangs lead looking really comfortable maybe you know we might see another run rule coming into effect but just really quality at bats you know they look really comfortable at the b uh in the batters box put some good swings on the ball even if they’re outs I mean they’re making good contact the whole night and they really love to see it from these Mustangs we will indeed see a pitching change as well step aside as the new pitcher warms up 7 to2 Mustangs lead here bottom of the third still runners at first and second one out as you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube jacob Van Vactor takes over for the alumni for Braden Barry after only an inning and a third giving up four runs three earned and is also responsible for both runners at first and second right now as the Mustangs lineup flips over it’ll be Chris Koy so far the only Mustang yet to reach base tonight as he’s grounded out to the pitcher and line to left both runners take off throw to third is going to beat Johnson by a mile so Jace Johnson got aggressive and he gets thrown out by a nice throw from Daly and now two outs dom Felix will move up to second on his own stolen base beautiful throw from Daly over San Factor with a weird look he kind of quo styled it looking over at Felix to second you don’t see much of that anymore again talk about just again about pitchers mechanics and just you know analytics into the game very few guys are trying anything fancy as Coyle going out on three pitches van Vector comes in and does his job and limits the damage but not before the Mustangs plate three more four more here in the third mustangs will take a 7 to2 lead headed into the fourth as you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube kaden Carter takes over for Sam Pitts who made it three innings gave up two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks carter out of Missouri Southern University down in Joplin so far this season in his first appearance two innings one walk and had five strikeouts in his first appearance of the season back on May the 31st last Saturday against the Nevada Griffins and got the win is now we bring back up our first trivia question of the night what was the original name for Dopey during early script development of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and it is Snow White Knight the answer is it was indeed Dey but unfortunately they trashed that for it being too offensive meanwhile first batter of the inning nice play over there by Chris Koy as Ryan Hook grounds out to Koy to start the fourth and it was indeed Deffy and it was scratched because it was just a bit too offensive deffy okay i I guessed Whezzy but um if any of you guys guessed Deffy congratulations and Snow White the only probably two times that I’ve seen it you know just a really classic movie um like you mentioned a lot of controversy the movie in the live action has gotten just because it’s just very far apart you know but I am eager to to see it because I’ve watched most live actions just watched the live the most recent live action i watched Lilo and Stitch this week and it was really good and they they casted it very well and it was played to perfection and how it lined up with the original johnny Koy steps into the batters box he was one for one with an RBI single in the first he’ll line that one into right center and won’t test the wheels and see how good the joints are as he’ll have a one out single here to bring up Ike Book coy showing him his players what’s up second hit of the night for him and I want to get some statcast on his last two hits and see what that exit velocity was off the bat because those things were screaming into the outfield and Ky taking him to school here tonight book takes strike one book popped out to Koy at short not Johnny but indeed Chris Koy the nephew his first time at the dish in the [Applause] first alumni find themselves down seven to2 these young Bucks and the current generation of St joseph Mustangs book pulls that one over to first george will toss who grabs it with his bare hand for a nice 3-1 put out a little PFP there from Kaden Carter to get the second out and a nice play there made by George and Carter I mean Carter hustling over to first and just barely made it there in time but George good fundamentals fielding it and getting the flip over nice second out but manager Johnny Koy sitting over at second in scoring position base hit does not guarantee Koi will score dale Wheeler takes his second turn at the dish wheeler walked in the first his first time up now Carter has Wheeler down one and two carter nice job working those two strike counts putting them in the zone making these alumni hitters go to work now two outs and a two- strike count he’s got Wheeler carter appeared in 13 games for Missouri Southern this past spring 14 and a3 innings 10 strikeouts to nine walks and a 691 erra but opponents only batted 192 off him two two from Carter swung on and missed wheeler goes down swinging koi stranded at second we head to the bottom of the fourth here in St joe mustangs lead the alumni 7 to2 let’s get a look tonight at the weather track here storms came through the area this morning but those clouds are long gone as the sun came out and dried up the field the itsybitsy spider climbed back up the water spout but it’s currently 73° and sunny the sun has gone back behind the grand stands here at Phil Welch temperature will continue to drop 72 sunset set for 8:45 temperatures will be in the high 60s by the time this one wraps up logan Miller steps in for his third turn at the dish one for two he doubled and scored a run his first time up and struck out swinging his last time up is Jacob Vanvtor back to work for the alumni miller grounds one over to third to the third baseman cuts off and makes the nice play over to Himl at first great play there made by Mason Holton holton made a really good play there at third i mean that ball was really originally designed over there for the short stop and Holton with a strong arm i mean you saw that ball out of the hand i mean that was zipped miller has some speed out of the box but Holton with a nice sidearm throw for the first out brings up Lucart back up to the plate lucart yet to be retired one for one he singled and scored back in the third and w and got hit by a pitch and scored back in the first you love a guy like Lucart who can come to the plate and get to the home get to home every single time he comes up and he’s done just that in this game fun fact about Braden Lukard is him and Tyson Ko threw no hitters in high school for Lafayette High School in the same day in back-to back games against two different teams wow i mean throwing a no hitter one of your teammates is impressive but backto back even more impressive as Luke Hart grounds that one down the right field line will take a big turn at first but we’ll put on the brakes with a one out single his second hit of the night i mean that is just ripped down the line on first and just squeaks by over on the first base side and Lucart with the nice exit velocity to just poke it by and we’ll see if he can come home for the third time in a row here in this game but same day I mean that is just impressive enough i mean I know in playing for my high school that we never had anyone throw a no hitter thinking we had one person throw a one hitter maybe okay but I never don’t think we ever had a no hitter as Jack Mos who was two for two grounds one back to Van Vector thought about throwing to second but we’ll just take the sh out at first as Lucart moves into scoring position now with two outs productive enough for Mosh i mean right in that right in that uh situation your goal is just to move the runner over if you can and he did just that lucart with the speed and it looked like Van Vector was given a look over cpa even had a shot with Lucart but not ended up and George with a runner in scoring position for his first RBI tonight george is 0 for two but he did reach on an air and score his last time up here with two outs in the bottom of the fourth talking about high school baseball a couple updates on future Mustangs how’s my Staley Falcons looking staley alum and Jackson Phelps alongside Knight truman Greel and Eastston Philippe who will join the team hopefully next week starting but he him and his Staley Falcons are up one to nothing top of the third down in Ozark Missouri at Sky Bacon Stadium my hometown about a mile from my house forunately never got a

for one with a walk he had a two-run single last night against Fort Zumwalt West to get the win and then another former player who we’ll get back to as George strikes out to end the fourth We’re headed to the fifth still seven to two here at Phil Welch top of the fifth here at Film Welch mustangs lead 7-2 and Jackson you are giggling because it is meet and greet with Snow White tonight

just keep fouling those balls off on two strikes and keep helping me out and everyone at home once again i’m really going to need your help this is really tough meanwhile Slabowski pops one high and it’ll be caught by Gundlefinger over at third for the first out of the fifth just couldn’t get all of that one just on the lower part of the bat kind of the inside of the barrel just couldn’t really drive it too far out and for my sake don’t really like seeing that it’s a quick out for the alumni team just just keep on getting those barrels boys now it’ll be TJ Daly daly grounded out to boat to Bowden Housing over at second his first time up kane Carter back to work for a second inning as Daly pops one and that’ll go foul off the roof of the clubhouse and a missed catch by a fan had a glove

single thank you Mr tyler Gundlefinger buying me some extra time and what a piece it was just drove it over the shortstop’s head over there in Slabowski and one out here for Jace Johnson his second played appearance of the night jace Johnson walked and was eventually caught stealing trying to steal third back in the third [Applause] johnson normally on the pitcher mound here at Phil Welch but he gets his turn in the batters box but he’ll go down quickly on three pitches striking out and now brings up Dom Felix with two outs here in the fifth and look at this felix is gonna take his second at bat in the left-hand batters box get the lefty lefty match up against Van Vector because why not everyone’s having a little fun as there goes for second Gundlefinger and he will be thrown out and the groan from my partner means coming up after this break we will see if Jackson Phelps can name all seven dwarves but meanwhile Tyler Gundlefinger caught stealing to end the fifth we’re headed to the sixth here at Phil Welch on a beautiful low7s night here in St joseph Missouri your Mustangs still lead 7 to2 third pitcher of the night for the Mustangs taking over after two innings from Kaden Carter will be will be Diego DeSantiago in his third appearance in his first two appearances two innings pitched four strikeouts and a walk his last year in seven appearances made two starts he was 1

Sneezy and Dopey those are the seven dwarves oh my goodness so now that you their names reflect their personalities fun fun game truman fun game we we can keep score throughout the season right now I’m up 10 in terms of stumping the other but tune in for future broadcast for future trivia challenges that we have meanwhile the first banner to create D Santiago will be Frankie Alvarez alvarez singled in the second and was stranded at third as in that inning the alumni left the bases loaded as he rips one on the ground to third sliding play made over by Gundfinger and he fires a dart over to first to retire Alvarez what a play by Gundlefinger goes into a mini slide as that ball was rocketed off the bat of Alvarez and little bobble but stuck with it and the cannon of an arm Gundlefinger’s got with that long wingspan more than enough in time for the first out now it’ll be Noah it’ll be Will Dryberg excuse me dryberg also singled in his last time up in the second so now much like Alvarez Dryberg evens the count one and one another heater found off the first base side to Santiago definitely one of the harder throwing Mustangs on this year’s team when he wants to he can rear back and fire a pitch in the low 90s even to mid 90s if he wants really has a gun for a pitcher here and we’ve gotten to see him a couple of times and he has really just blown these fast balls by the hitters that one off the hands of Dryberg d Santiago off the mound fires over to George and two quick ground outs here to start the six for the alumni nice job just jamming the hitter on the inside half of the plate and Santiago fired over to George just in time for the second out nice defensive plays here for the Mustangs start the top of the sixth now Luke Powers here powers in his second AB he also singled back in that second now gets his second turn here in the sixth that pitch now in for a strike now 0 and two great crowd on hand here tonight at Phil Welch six games into the season still plenty of fans packing out Phil Welch as they look to catch at least a game or two as this Mustangs team looks to continue on their quest for a 10th Mink League title santiago thought he had the outside corner shaking his head a little bit then he just missed it by a couple inches really just a couple of inches a nice fast ball on the outside half and we’ll see if Santiago wants to attack the same side he will and it’s swung on but the ball gets away from Griffith to Santiago picks it up and Powers will reach on the drop third strike one of the rare times we see someone reach on the drop third d Santiago technically tallies his first strikeout but a runner does reach now it brings back up Noah Bowdenhausen bowdenhousen grounded out to Gundlefinger at third to end that second inning threat just a nice pitch not only fooled batter it fooled Johnson a catch just couldn’t get a good glove on it santiago is doing a really good job on these hitters tonight bonhousen takes a big rip at the feeder fouls it off seven to two the Mustangs lead the alumni was a three-run first and a fourrun third for the Mustangs alumni plated one in those same exact innings but fortunately two is not greater than seven that’s where our score stands at right now now the one-1 to Bowdenhausen upstairs and it gets away from Johnson so Powers will move up to second base on the wild pitch and move into scoring position just a good read from Powers in first base just saw that it was a little high and Johnson just couldn’t get that in the top of the mitt now a runner in scoring position two outs here for Bowdenous [Music] now Bowden takes a big rip but comes up empty as now it’s two and two with two outs here in the top of the sixth the 22 from number 32 outside full count nice job by Bowdenhausen here working that full count really disciplined as Santiago has been given some tough heaters that Bowdenous’s been having to deal with and just a good job from him watching them all the way through swung on and missed from Bowdenous to Santiago his second strike out of the inning ends the top of the six strands man at second base bottom of the sixth coming up here at Bill Welch mustangs still lead the alumni 7 to2 as you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube steve Demo takes over for the alumni for Jacob Vanvactor who threw two and a third shutout innings this be the third time the Mustangs are seeing De Mo as he threw eight innings on May the 30th in a complete game loss and then on Wednesday of this week came in in the eighth inning and got a double play ball in that bottom of the eighth to get out of a jam before walking the first two hitters in the ninth but the Monarchs were able to get out of it so third time these Mustang hitters are seeing Demo and it’ll be Dom Felix to lead us off here in the bottom of the sixth yeah Felix back in the third with a single and an RBI single made his way all the way to second base and looks like he’ll make his way looks like he got hit actually yeah didn’t look like it on first looked like he maybe got out of the way but you know sometimes your body gets out of the way but your jersey still bags out there and it sometimes catches the jersey jersey is a part of the body so Dom Felix will take it lead off hit by pitch flips the lineup over back for Chris Coy coy waves and misses koi koi two big swings to start this at bat he’s really looking for that first hit and first extra base hit of the season he’s really just trying to get some ump into his swings here he’s 0 for three tonight looking for his first hit he’s grounded out he’s lined out and he struck out he’s done just about everything except maybe he flew out and popped out seems like the last ways to make outs maybe if he wants to make an out on like a batter indifference but he’ll take strike three looking on the breaking ball on the outside what a pitch from Mr steve Demo who these Mustangs are all too familiar with facing and a good surplus of pitches that he has in his arsenal and got Koi on the off speed after getting him to swing on two heaters and you know Truman we’ve gotten to see Demo a couple of times pitch and hit and been one of the better players on the Kansas City Monarchs he’s bringing the same thing here into the alumni game brings that same aggressive mentality on the mound update for those wondering for future Mustang Eastern Philippine Ashton Nance as Blue Springs South and Staley battle it out down in Ozark Missouri as there goes Felix for second hold on the update and Felix will be thrown out the second out of the inning on the C stealing dom Felix thought he might try to take second dy’s second time catching these Mustangs on the base pads you know we haven’t seen that this much this season these Mustangs have predominantly been a good stealing team now Logan Miller grounds one takes an awkward hop but able to field and throw to first he is Mavic to retire the side update on that classic state championship game after the break we’re headed to the final third of this game 7-2 in the 2025 St joseph Alumni Game here on YouTube chris Koy takes over for Diego D Santiago in his second appearance so far in his one inning he struck out two did give up one hit that appearance was back on Wednesday against the Kansas City [Music] Monarchs pitched a very clean eighth inning gave up his only hit was to Galberto Pñena the first pitch is fouled down the third baseline it’s Michael Paul steps in for his second trip at the dish and his first one he struck out swinging meanwhile I’ll get back to what I was saying before that bottom half of the sixth ended update on you know two future Mustangs this summer ashton Nance for Blue Spring South High School in East Philippe for Staley High School battling it out right now in the Class 6 Missouri Baseball State Championships down in Ozark Missouri and right now update is Staley up 5-0 in the top of the fifth eastston unfortunately 0 for two with the walk but his team still getting it done staley looking to get that coveted class 6 baseball state championship one of the most competitive state championships in the state of Missouri i mean all all classes of Missouri sports in high school are competitive but you know you get to those big class six schools go Falcons baby go Falcons broadcast partner a Staley alum last time they won a state championship I was broadcasting the 2023 basketball state championship 2023 Staleely Falcons won that one then they beat Nixer Kapoo kickapoo okay wasn’t wasn’t sure which which one of those years was it but Jackson in the semi-finals and then Kikapoo in the state championship girls basketball made it this year to the Classic State Championship game and ended up losing to Incarnate Ward powerhouse girls basketball team in the Missouri Classics High School but looking to get their first baseball state championship in a while love to see the turnaround from that program kind of took a break as Paul’s going to draw the walk you know you bring up Jackson Missouri have you ever been out to Jackson south of St louis can’t say I have haven’t been down to the boot hill of Missouri yet kind of near Cape Gerardo in Jackson area haven’t been down there before have you out there last spring playing baseball played a double header against Jackson and Fort Zoomalt West 0 for went two and 0 excuse me one of the highlights of that season because the night before we beaten Rockbridge so beating three very talented teams nice yeah I can say I’ve been to Jackson Missouri didn’t really explore much but you know did sure did play down there is Mason Holton gets his second AB he all he struck out looking his first time up back in the third see finds himself down in the count 0 and2 here to Ky koi had Paul down one and two in the count then lost him for a walk looking to see if he can induce that 543 double play ball many different ways to get double play i’m calling the 543 but Paul’s going to take off for second throw from the knees is going to get into center and Paul will take third on the E2 here comes the throw and that one almost gets away from Gundlefinger but Michael Paul will get a stolen base and reach third on the E2 nice job by Paul i mean in some of those situations that ball gets passed short there there’s too much into their slide where they can’t really get up and get moving but Paul a really nice slide kind of got up on all fours and just started taking off to get the extra 90 ft now no outs and looking to chip back at this five run lead been to quite a few places in Missouri you know those places i’ve been to Senakica quite a lot don’t know if you ever made it down to Senica right on the border of Missouri and Oklahoma okay pretty sure that’s where it is but yeah down south of Joplin been to been to all those towns by Joplin Joplin Web City Neoso Carthage Carl Junction baseball takes you places that one line to center coming on and sliding will be Lukeart no he missed it and it went past him holton will motor into second with an RBI double it looked like Lukeart was about to make a fantastic sliding grab instead it’s an RBI double and cuts the Mustang lead now to seven to three what a rip from Holton into center field blueart just couldn’t get a glove on it went past him in an easy 90 ft even with no outs i mean having Paul there will score him nonetheless if the catch was made but now a runner in scoring position once again and only down four are the alumni that one taken for a strike braden Barry now Barry chops one past the glove of Koi bowdenhousen has and he’ll easily throw out Barry as Holton will move up to third now with two outs yeah really haven’t been too too much in the Missouri area you know I I got a grandpa that lives in Nixon Missouri currently right now kind of by where you’re at in Ozark and Springfield area just to the west yep mom and sisters are currently in Clinton Missouri kind of down south of Grand View area and Belton i’ll be driving through that on my way home tomorrow heck yeah now it’s Jackson High he’s one for one he doubled and scored a run back in the third alumni have put up a run here in the seventh to cut the lead to four mason holding at third with one out see cuts on and misses for strike two you know interesting fact about Braden Barry you just grounded out to Truman Bowdenhousen is that he graduated from Savannah High School i think I shared that earlier but graduated from Savannah High School that one breaking ball outside called strike three and Himl’s down looking for the second out of the inning first strike out for Koi qu nice off speed pitch on that outside part of the plate beautiful done and getting that second out trying to leave Holton on third but speaking of Savannah been up there a couple of times for my college radio station done some Savannah basketball tournaments in the high school class 4 um really small town but the people up there are awesome and I love going up there for those basketball tournaments and the rivalry between Mville High School and Savannah High School is a real one they get after it every single season in all sports now it’ll be Brady Holden stepping in holden walked and scored his first time up and then grounded out to what was then Jack Mosh at second base his second time up is he now way ahead in the count two and 0 brady Holden actually has an older brother named Tucker and Tucker’s in a band called Eli Algar and the Faster Horses not sure what kind of music they play but definitely one of the more unique band names huh that is an interesting name i love these facts you’re pulling out about these players i mean you know since these guys you know I mean they got some cool stories to tell you know some of them have been out of baseball for a little bit some still playing but really cool to have some guys with some fun stories coming back to Phil Welch i got to give credit to one of my host family’s husband in the household he’s been feeding me feeding me facts all night about a lot of these guys as Holden thought he had a walk right there instead has to stay put in that lefth hand batter as the count goes full here 3-2 two outs one already home here in the seventh runner at third chris Koy on the bump brady Holden at the dish full count from Koy fouled away fans have stuck around here at Phil Welch for Saturday night fireworks following the game a staple here at Phil Welch and a part of this St joseph Mustangs organizations is another fullcount offering this one is high and away for ball four and Brady Holden draws his second walk of the evening nice disciplined at bat from Holton gets on first on a full count two outs now runners on first and third on the corners and Koi just trying to get himself out of this inning after giving up one a four-run ball game mustangs still lead it that’ll be Josh Mavic struck out looking his first time up and line to right the second time up [Music] now the one-1 runs inside and might have clipped Mavic on his hand and that probably didn’t hurt as now the bases are loaded here for Ryan Hook what an opportunity here for Hook and Hook’s had himself a night got a hit looking to do the same thing here try to drive at least two around to make it a two-run ball game but two outs ky still with a little breathing room with those two outs on the board he’ll get a quick talk from fellow pitchers Jace Johnson and Jiren Guck the pitching interim pitching coach of the night wonder how much he’s getting paid tonight to be the pitching coach and I wonder if that was something in the cards for tonight playerto player broto bro talk here for Koi and Johnson i mean Johnson who’s catching says “Hey we’ve all been here in these situations got to just throw me strikes i’ll I’ll do my part get you some strikes on the lines.” And Koi just needs to stay a little confident here in this two out two out area can’t lose sight of yourself and really got to leave anything but over the middle for Hook bases are full here top of the seventh grand slam would tie it for the alumni ryan Hook definitely has the power he chases one of the dirt he singled his first time up but was stranded at third his second time up he grounded out to Koy who was in that short stop one for two night that one skyed out to center it takes Luke Hart back but he makes the grab in left center field to retire the sign to escape the jam one home in the inning but no more as the alumni leave the bases loaded here as we’re headed to the bottom of the seventh 7 to three as you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on You too it’ll be Braden Lucart Jack Moss and Justin George here for your Mustangs in the bottom of the seventh in a game they led from the start and still lead now seven to3 as we enter the final third of the 2025 st joseph alumni game this year steve De Mo still on the mound back out for his second inning of work luke Hart two for two he’s singled twice he’s scored two runs he’s also made a couple of nice catches out in the outfield covering a lot of ground out there center field he’s done a really good job you know kind of trades off that spot with Logan Miller and Darius Freeman and all three of them are quality outfielders this season so far and Lucart’s one of them who’s been having some gems out in out in the field now just an update for you Jackson but Staley the lead has been cut to three it’s now 63 against Blue Springs South what inning are we looking at bottom staley is the visitor but okay so Eastston Philippy again for Staley ashton Nance who tossed a gem of a game last night to send Blue Springs South to the state final tonight it’s bottom five so Staley put up a run in the top half of the inning and Blue Springs South has responded here with three okay love a love a competitive Class 6 championship game down in Ozark lucart retired for the first out of the inning brings up Jack Mosh i’m sure once you know Eastern Philippine and Ashton Nance get up here to St joe you know whoever whichever of those teams ends up winning you know it’ll be a little bit of bragging rights something that they can hold under the other over the other’s head you know a little joke little joking way msh meanwhile he’s also had himself also a very nice night two for three and two runs scored but Demo quickly has him down 02 jack Mosh out of the University of Minnesota didn’t get that much playing time added 222 in his limited amount of opportunities that one sky down the third base line and it’ll get out into the clubside bar area over just beyond the third base dugout to keep Mosh’s at bat alive majin’s first year with the Mustangs now he’s six hits on the year that one blooped toward third again and it’ll be run down in foul territory it’s a nice grab made there by Will Dryberg for the second out easiest play Dryberg will have all night i mean he was kind of trailing over towards that 56 gap but then had a good jolt over off the bat i mean that thing didn’t stay up too long dry had to get a nice play over there but two outs on the board for Demo trying to go no hits no runs here in the bottom of the seventh that’ll be Justin George who’s 0 for three but he did reach on an error back in the third and came around to score george from the univers from William Jewel University quickly finds himself down 0 and2 it’s over where I live out in Liberty Missouri he hit 352 in 48 games 57 hits including 12 doubles a triple and eight bombs also drove in 46 runs also stole eight bases without getting caught once so a very nice year for Mr george if you’re just joining us the 2025 Mustangs put up three in the bottom of the first and four in the second meanwhile the St joseph alumni put up one in the first third and top half here in the seventh that’s how we stand here right now at seven to three i’m Truman Greel alongside me tonight is Jackson Phelps but Justin George strikes out for the third time tonight as we’re headed to the eighth alumni are down to their final six outs so you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube top eight here at Phil Welch on a still gorgeous Saturday night 7 to3 the Mustangs lead the St and Joseph alumni as we have a little family battle to begin the top half of the eighth as Johnny Koy steps in as with his nephew Chris Koy on the bump what if he just tries to put him away with a bunch of breaking balls doesn’t even show him the heater or does he blow three heaters by his uncle well the first one misses outside so maybe he’s scared of his uncle i mean I would be the way that uh manager Johnny Koy’s been hitting the ball tonight he’s definitely had some pop off the bat and Koy just cannot let that go over his head the whole season from his uncle ky singled in the first and singled in the fourth he’s now way ahead two and0 so his nephew’s got to come to him and he gets him on the breaking ball to look foolish a little smile a little smirk coming from both the batters box but still stone cold out there on the mound as Chris I guarantee you inside he knows he just got his uncle badly as that one popped up but it’ll get out of play and up into the grand stand right now koi’s got his uncle in a two strike count and Johnny Koy like you mentioned just still smiles but you know like you just mentioned Chris Koy knows if he can strike out his uncle here you can have that joking moment in the dugout all season long a two- two from Koi to Koy change up low full count now pa announcer getting into it a little bit trying to hackle Johnny and he swings and misses on the breaking ball looks foolish and would you look at that chris Koy striking out the older uncle who’s had two hits tonight the best hitter on the team stone cold on the mound and the nephew can keep that dugout chatter going on all season long and wonder if he gets benched tomorrow because of that gut comes out and says “All right we wanted to keep you out here for one at one more round.” Rightfully so rightfully so inning and a third from Chris Ky no runs given up but he’ll depart five outs left for the alumni so we’ll take a short break tell you about the new norm out there on the mound for the Mustangs as you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube as you’re you’re correctly seeing this folks not only is Jaden Little on the mound but the entire infield is playing way in the grass and the outfield is almost in the infield is we have a special batter at the plate you know one of the alumni sons getting his Oh what’s his last name his name is Chris chris is getting the atbat here and you’re also not seeing that right andrew Clark is now at first base trevor McCollum is at second base we’re having a little fun here at Phil Welch you know we’re having fun that’s what baseball is all about and now Little throws behind Chris and he’s not happy about that little saying “Come charge the mound.” Got to love to see you got to love these moments you know i I remember I think it was like four and you know playing park league baseball my brother was in the oldest like the big biggest league and well there was one game that his team didn’t have enough players so I had to go out there and play i’m I’m this little scraw i’m I’m a little dude meanwhile Chris strikes out chris Springs chris Springs one of the equipment managers for the Mustang strikes out and now everyone will return to their natural natural positions but finish up that story i had to play and you know the other team thought I wasn’t capable of hitting off their pitcher they wanted my dad was the coach they wanted to see if he wanted to come out and throw to me and he said it was fine and you know I don’t really I don’t know if I got a hit or anything but you know I remember I had to play for my brother you know they were probably like I don’t know nine eight eight nine or 10 and I was like five wow so you know well I was the bat boy for the team but then you know I got I got the chance to got the chance to swing love that meanwhile that one’s grounded to third up with it over to Andrew Clark he squeezes it to retire Ike Book we head to the bottom of the eighth here at Phil Welch your Mustangs still lead the alumni seven to three bottom of the eighth here and again folks your eyes aren’t messing with you bronco Wit leads us off we’re all having fun here tonight we’ve seen plenty of guys play different positions different guys have came in to pitch you saw Chris Ky strike out his uncle Johnny my partner Jackson Phelps was only able to name f four or four yeah he was only a able to name four of these seven dwarves his Staley Falcons are now losing 8 to6 in the class 6 Missouri State Baseball Championship philippy and Ashton Nance philippy plays for Staley nance plays for Blue Springs South both be up here hopefully next week to help the Mustangs out but it’s been quite the fun night and your 2025 Mustangs lead seven to3 here in the eighth felt like just a couple seconds ago you were talking about us leading the game and now 86 meanwhile Whit chops one over to second on a couple hops able to retire him for the first down bronco Wit and what might be his only at bat of the season unfortunately grounds out hey you love to see him making contact on the ball at least that statute isn’t going to have a K on it makes good contact and hustled all the way through a quality at bat from Mr whit is this in Is this 20 now another pinch hitter another pitcher Michael and Fraa who just made his way to the team here this weekend as he comes to the Mustangs who will hopefully see on the mound this season but infra comes from Texas&M Corpus Christi and they were finishing up their season makes his way up and now he’s way ahead in the count 3 and 0 and now works a four pitch walk that’ll bring up Jace Johnson johnson 0 for one he walked and was caught stealing third and back in the third and then struck out swinging back in the fifth you know you really got to love that at bat from Infraranka i mean just really really poised and really calm and draws the four pitch walk and that’s something that you can kind of hold over your shoulders there for Infranca here’s Johnson takes strike one it’s number two 0 and one now 0 and2 to Johnson is you know thought we might end I thought I might end out this night with one last trivia question again Snow White themed i love it and it is you know it’s more for the movie production side so what unusual material was used for the sound of the evil queen’s transformation into the witch in the original cartoon is that one all the way to the back stop and Fraa will move up to second as your possible answers are A a glove rubbing against a leather surface b a piece of sandpaper rubbing against a brick c a cello bow scraping a rusted metal pipe or is it D dried corn husks being crumpled near a microphone oh my gosh Trimman you’ve been putting some good questions up here oh man now Johnson heavy rip heavy rip and he strikes out swinging for his second time is now two outs with a man in scoring position i’m going to go with sandpaper on a brick sandpaper on a brick is my partner’s locked in answer it will be Kaden Carter gets who pinch hits here for Dom Felix carter threw two innings earlier in the game and is in line for the win now looks to get a turn at bat one and one the count here on Carter waves at a fast ball on the outside corner now one and two there goes Infra for third and he’ll get in there safely his second stolen base of the inning nice job by Infraa two stolen bases nice move out there by Wheeler at third almost deaked in Frraa like the ball was going to the outfield but Franca doing a good job staying put at third now the count is full three and two to Kaden [Music] Carter fullcount offering inside ball four and Kaden Carter much like his fellow pitcher Michael and Franka works a walk here in the eighth pitchers coming up here doing their job and you love to see it in everyone you’re going to get this another chance to see Diego de Santiago coming to the plate as this pitcher’s hitting inning continues and Truman i’m loving this i’m loving seeing these pitchers get some hacks and seeing some live abs this season throw some heat but now at the plate might be the only time they get the chance to so they’re going to try and make the most of it it’s a big hack from D to Santiago you know he’s probably stay in the box he wants to keep both feet planted his dad Cho a couple days ago told us he was a two-way player takes another big rip this one’s grounded softly wheeler fields no play over to third goes Carter and it’s going to be an RBI single carter’s going to try to score here comes the throw and he’s safe a two-run single for Diego D Santiago just doing whatever he had to do put the ball in play trust your base runners and Kaden Carter doing such a great job coming all the way around to score but to Santiago just putting the ball in play the old two-way player doing the job that he was called to do and you know sometimes that’s the least you could do all right there is now it’s Sam Pitts he started on the mound and now he gets a turn at the dish that one grounded again over to Wheeler and he’ll throw out Pitts to end the eighth we’re headed to the ninth here in St joe two home in the inning on the D Santiago single and the Mustangs are three outs away from a win over the alumni you’re watching St joseph Mustangs baseball here on YouTube top nine here at Phil Welch and the Mustangs are three outs away from a win over the alumni and it’s Dom Felix to close it out here in the ninth the first pitch swung on and popped up into foul territory over is everyone and it bounces out of play for strike one andrew Clark was given a little bit of a chase to it but McCollum one of the only position players actually out on the field right now was over there to give him some support just a big swing and a hack there just played it out of play for Dade Wheeler [Music] own the count on Wheeler now 0 and two from Felix [Music] the O2 to Wheeler line into the gap and caught great catch there wheeler hit it on the nose but it’s reeled in for out number one and now two outs away from an alumni game win for the Mustangs as we had a trivia question bottom of the eth we’re going to finish it out with some fun what unusual material was used for the sound of the evil queen’s transformation into the witch from the classic animated Snow White movie 1937 and it indeed was for all those guessing a a glove rubbing up against a leather surface wow interesting a very interesting answer it was and I guessed the sandpaper on a brick but I like that question that’s good you got to get the brain thinking that’s not one you can really It’s not one that most people just have an answer outright so I like that stumping to me all night long now Cole Slabowski ahead two and 0 now ahead three and one felix working fast almost Savannah Banana style trying to get that 8-second strikeout instead it’s the 8-second walk as it’s a one-out walk to Slabowski now it’ll bring up Jared Hawkins first time we’ve seen him tonight with a runner on first and one away here top of the ninth nine to3 Mustangs lead the alumni alumni had a lead but it only lasted five batters for a Truman Bowdenhausen two-run single the Mustangs were off and running they took control pretty fast in this game i mean slow starts from nights in the past this week on Wednesday and Thursday but yesterday we saw them come out right out of the gates get the game going and same thing with Bowdenous and you know getting those base runners on and just trusting the guys next to you in the lineup and they’ve been doing such a good job um staying confident and comfortable the two C’s that these Mustangs have really been doing um I’d say in the first couple of innings these last two games now the 2-1 rip is fouled away two and two as we get a look at the Mustangs future schedule next week another four game home state after their first road trip of the year they play Tuesday the 10th at Sadelia before four home games against Chilikathy and the Kansas City Monarchs Wednesday and Thursday both starting at 6:30 as Felix will get the strike out looking great pitch there from Felix as Slavowski moves up to second but Hawkins goes down looking for the second out and now the Mustangs are one out away so now brings up TJ Dailyaly but back to the Mustang schedule so next Wednesday against Chilikathy then next Thursday against the Kansas City Monarchs both 631st pitches and then next Friday and Saturday they welcome to town the first time the Carol Merchants and then the Sadelia Bombers so three out of the four games this week next week our mink league matchups here at Phil Welch three tough tough games i mean they had they’ve had their way against Jefferson City they’ll see Chilikathy but two new opponents since Sidelia and Carol they play Sidelia twice next week that’ll be a friendly scene both times and they’ll face Chilikathy but first time seeing the Carol Merchants that one goes right through the wickets of Jace Johnson and allows Slabowski to move up to third now what a night it’s been tonight been so much fun a lot of fun chuckles to be had great baseball just a great atmosphere plenty of people came out tonight fans are just wonderful the guests that walk through the gates here at Phil Welch you know you never know what the day may have held but seems like your day can always turn around watching Mustang baseball seeing them play as that one grounded over to Andrew Clark at first he’ll toss to Dom Felix and that’ll do it for the 2025 St joseph Alumni Game it is your St joseph Mustangs getting the win 9-3 over the Mustangs alumni big highlights truman Bowden one for three with three RBI’s trevor McCollum also had an RBI single jack Mosh was two for four braden Lukhart three for two for three scoring a pair of runs pitching continued to dominate and just an overall fun night and a fun experience it really was Truman just a different kind of atmosphere i mean those late half innings got to see some pitchers coming to bat some pitchers getting to go play the field and it almost just kind of felt like an exhibition game against some of your friends back at home uh just on like a travel ball or just even just a fun friendly league play and you love to see it and now look at this you don’t get to see this much in mink league players are lining up giving high fives and hugs mustangs Nation both sides are Mustangs and you really just love to see that all the fun atmosphere like you mentioned the fans I mean they made it happen tonight you know they really got into these games and they are cheering on both sides at the same time you know it’s one of those games where it’s like doesn’t matter both ways you just love to see some of your favorites from the past and now this team on the Mustangs this year in 2025 improved to a record of 6-1 still 3 and 0 in the mink looking to improve on that next week like you mentioned Truman three games in the mink league of play but you mentioned Truman Bowdenhausen one for three three RBI’s for him and a stolen base he’s just keeps on improving on this amazing season started out from the Mustangs and the pitching again coming in putting in some big work pitts three innings on four strikeouts five hits two earned runs then lights out from Kaden Carter to Santiago and Koi carter went two innings pitched just one hit no runs d Santiago just went into one but had an amazing electric inning with two strikeouts just faced four batters but no runs as well and Chris Koy just one and one/3 from him eight batters on two strikeouts one hit and one run and did strike out his uncle so he has that out the uncle that was probably one of my That was probably my favorite moment of tonight getting to see the two KO go after it with each other and um just a cool atmosphere nonetheless what do you say Truman i mean just a fun game fun game taking a picture here after the game is over you know again just celebrating what it you know what what this means you know it’s such a special to see the alumni come back out here and see the the foundation that they built again just continue to come to fruition so many of these guys you know they were there you know when they were just winning those first couple Mink League championships and now nine championships deep it’s just special for these guys to come back and see that the program and the team they left the organization the guests the fans that they left continue to get brought joy i love it you know this season has been such a good start a lot of pressure on these guys in the mink league to go back and do it again you know nine times they won it last year they’re looking for 10 this year and I’d say with a six and one record and a perfect record in the mink trim and they are on a great catapult on their way jumping into the mink and just a good way to start their season so far you know they’re playing the baseball the right way tonight just keeping those runners on base producing some nice hits we saw some more explosive hits tonight I feel like from guys like we haven’t seen like Gundlefinger with that double into right field i mean he really drove that ball far and you just love to see these guys who haven’t really blossomed yet who you are starting to see that seed still being watered and it’s starting to grow some sprouts and this Mustangs lineup really you know they just have those types of players that have some room to grow but I feel like everyone on this team is starting to grow with some more water but that’ll do it here tonight from Phil Welch your 2025 Mustangs get it done over the alumni 9 to3 kaden Carter gets his first win kyle Jackson takes the loss truman Bowdenous your player of the game one for three with three RBI’s and a stolen base and a 9-3 winner for my partner Jackson Phelps I’ve been Truman Greel we say so long from Phil Welch all Mustangs live streams are archived on the YouTube app or YouTube.com and going to St joseph Mustangs clicking under the live tab mustangs will take their first road trip next Tuesday to Sadelia but we’ll be back on the air next Wednesday 6:31st pitch between your Mustangs and the Chilikathy
