Creighton struck early with a three-run top of the first, but the Huskers responded, tying the game in the bottom of the second thanks to a two-run single from Riley Silva. The Bluejays regained the lead in the fourth, only for Nebraska to level the score once again in the fifth. Creighton pulled away with a two-run seventh and a three-run ninth, sealing the victory. The Huskers will look to bounce back this weekend as they take on Rutgers.
