'I was weeping before I even hit home plate.' A magical moment for Xavier baseball's Eddie Rivero

It doesn't happen all that often, but sometimes you find a little magic inside the white lines of a baseball field.

There was a magical moment on Saturday night at Prasco Park.

It was a 24-3 game in the top of the ninth inning. Xavier was wearing out the lights on the scoreboard against Creighton with the greatest offensive performance in Big East Conference Tournament history.

The inning started with a walk from Jackson Kaplowitz. Alex Helmin followed with a single.

Then head coach Billy O'Conner called for a pinch hitter.
