Baseball sweeps Illinois State in weekend thriller

Creighton baseball moved to

14-6 with a series sweep over Illinois

State this past weekend. The

Bluejays entered Saturday’s matchup

following a 6-3 home opener

loss to rival Nebraska.

Creighton did exactly that as

they jumped out to an 8-0 lead in

the bottom of the first and never

looked back. The Bluejays plated

eight runs on six hits and three

very costly Redbird errors.

Illinois State finally countered

with a run of their own but were

met by a red-hot Creighton batting

lineup that quickly answered with

six more runs to extend the lead

to 14-1.
