Omaha, Neb. -- Powered by a five-run fourth inning, the Creighton Baseball squad claimed its seventh win in its last eight as the Bluejays defeated Winthrop 7-1 on Friday, March 31. The win lifted Creighton to 8-12 on the season, while the Eagles dropped to 13-13.
Things started off a bit rocky for the Bluejays as Winthrop loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the first. Creighton ace Rollie Lacy settled in to strikeout the Eagles' cleanup hitter Mitch Spires, then force consecutive groundouts to limit the damage to one run.
Sophomore shortstop Thomas Luevano got Creighton even with one swing in the fourth, leading off the frame with his second home run in as many games.
