We calculate the mass and structure of a JP=0,T=0 six-quark system using a colored diquark-tetraquark cluster wave function and a nonrelativistic quark model Hamiltonian. The calculated mass is some 350 MeV above the empirical value if the same confinement strength as in the nucleon is used. If the effective two-body confinement strength is weaker in a compound six-quark system than in a single baryon, as expected from a simple harmonic oscillator model, one obtains Md=2092 MeV close to experiment.
