Sunday afternoon’s weather forecast was cloudy with a chance for rain, and UC Davis brought the thunder to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. The Aggies knocked the ball around the yard en route to 12-1 win over the Creighton Bluejays in game one of a three-game series. They lit up Creighton’s pitching staff for 19 hits all together, including five doubles and a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning for good measure.
“Today we took a big step back,” Creighton head coach Ed Servais said. The Bluejays entered the game with a 5-11 record overall, but were riding a four-game winning streak that saw them outscore the opposition by a combined total of 20 runs.
