The Bluejays took control early, scoring two runs in the third inning and adding four more in the fourth to lead 6-0. The Huskers nickeled and dimed their way to a 6-4 game heading into the ninth inning.

In the top of the frame, Creighton extended its lead with a pair of runs. In the bottom half, Nebraska had the bases loaded with no outs before Riley Silva knocked a single, Devin Nunez walked and Robby Bolin hit a sacrifice fly to cut the deficit to one run.

Nebraska's next two batters struck out, ending the rally and the game.
