This victory elevates Creighton’s season record to 5-4, while the Cougars saw their record drop to 7-4. What a game it was!

A Big Win for the Bluejays

Magers pitched 5.1 innings, giving up just two earned runs on two hits, displaying his budding talent right in the thick of the action. Coming in from the bullpen, Garrett Langrell made a significant impact with an impressive eight-out save, allowing only one run over the final 2.2 innings.

Clutch Hitting Takes Center Stage

What truly stood out in this game was the Bluejays’ knack for delivering in clutch situations. They scored a whopping six runs with two outs throughout the game, showcasing their resilience and ability to capitalize on opportunities. The scoring action kicked off in the first inning when Nate McHugh rifled an RBI single after a couple of two-out walks, setting the tone for the rest of the afternoon.

However, the Cougars bounced back quickly, taking an early 3-1 lead with two runs in the second and one more in the fourth inning. But Creighton’s determination didn’t waver. They chipped away at the deficit, with Nolan Sailors driving a single to bring home a run after a leadoff walk and a wild pitch. With each passing inning, the excitement built as both teams worked tirelessly to grab the momentum.

Catching Fire in the Sixth

In what felt like a turning point, Dakota Duffalo hit a spectacular one-out triple in the sixth, sending fans into a frenzy. Following up, Nick Venteicher stepped up to the plate and delivered an RBI single, tying the game 3-3. Just moments later, Tate Gillen knocked an RBI double that put the Bluejays ahead 4-3. What a comeback!

Ben North didn’t let the momentum slip and added another run with an RBI single in the seventh inning, extending the Bluejays’ lead to 5-3. The excitement continued to brew as the team stormed through the eighth inning. Both Matt Scherrman and Nolan Sailors piled on more runs with their clutch RBI hits, pushing the score to 7-3. It was clear; the Bluejays had the upper hand!

A Final Push and a Double Play to End It

The Cougars didn’t go down without a fight, adding one more run in the eighth inning. However, Creighton responded in kind with a run-scoring wild pitch, solidifying their lead. In the ninth, Charleston made it interesting by bringing the tying run to the plate, but Langrell masterfully ended the game with a much-needed double play. Talk about closing it out in style!

Looking Ahead

For the Bluejays, this victory is a significant step forward, and it will surely build their confidence as they prepare for their next game against Kansas State on Wednesday, March 5, at 3:00 PM.
