OMAHA – Butler held a 3-1 advantage late in the game on Sunday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park, but a two-run bottom of the ninth from Creighton followed by a single score in the 10th would give the home team the come from behind victory.

The heartbreaking loss could have easily been a 3-1 victory for the Bulldogs as a costly error in the bottom of the ninth allowed two unearned runs. Danny Pobereyko took the mound at the start of the ninth to relive Schank who was great over eight frames.

Pobereyko got the first batter to groundout, but the second Creighton batter would reach on a fielding error. The third batter flied out to leftfield, keeping the baserunner at first.

With one on and two out, Pobereyko would move the runner into scoring position after a wild pitch. Brennan Hammer would make him pay quickly after with a single to center that scored the baserunner.

Creighton made an aggressive substitution that placed Will Bamesberger on the base path and it paid off. Bamesberger stole second and would be joined on base by Daniel Woodrow who walked. The game would then be tied up at 3-3 with Nicky Lopez delivering a single to center which scored Bamesberger.

The inning would continue with an intentional walk, but a fielder's choice to shortstop would end the inning as BU stepped on the bag to record the third out.

Butler put one on in the 10th, but didn't record a hit to move Drew Small around. The Bulldogs would pay for it in the bottom half of the inning as Zach Barnes entered the game only to hit the first batter he faced.

Small ball would come into play as Matt Gandy laid down the sacrifice bunt, moving Riley Landuyt to second. Bryce Only moved Landuyt to third with a single to right and a follow-up single from Kevin Connolly would end the game.

Barnes took the loss (2-4) while David Gerber walked away with the win (2-1). Jeff Schank wouldn't get a decision as the BU starter. The left-hander put Butler in great shape to win the game by going eight strong and fanning six batters. He only walked one while limiting CU to six hits.

Butler will return to action with a 3:30 game on Tuesday afternoon against the visiting Cleary Cougars.
