OMAHA – Butler held a 3-1 advantage late in the game on Sunday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park, but a two-run bottom of the ninth from Creighton followed by a single score in the 10th would give the home team the come from behind victory.
The heartbreaking loss could have easily been a 3-1 victory for the Bulldogs as a costly error in the bottom of the ninth allowed two unearned runs. Danny Pobereyko took the mound at the start of the ninth to relive Schank who was great over eight frames.
Pobereyko got the first batter to groundout, but the second Creighton batter would reach on a fielding error.
