INDIANAPOLIS – The Creighton Bluejays came up with a 5-3 win over Butler at Bulldog Park on Saturday afternoon. The two teams were tied heading to the seventh inning, but CU would score three in the seventh to collect their 21st win of the year.
 
A solo home run opened up the scoring on Saturday as Sterling Hayes pushed a ball over the wall in right for Creighton. Kollyn All tied the game with an RBI double to right center in the fourth to score Scott Jones.
 
Creighton regained the lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth, but BU battled back with a Xavier Carter home run in the sixth.
 
A costly error in the seventh gave Creighton some momentum and a single run to break the 2-2 tie. Ben Gbur added a single in the frame to score Ben North and a Nolan Sailors sac fly made the game 5-2.
 
The Bulldogs made the game very interesting in the bottom half of the eighth. Jake DeFries returned to the lineup today and scored off a wild pitch to get BU within two runs. The 'Dawgs had two runners in scoring position and All hit a ball well to deep centerfield. Sailors would retreat and catch the ball on the warning track and the Bluejays would hang on for the win.
 
Ryan Windham got the win for CU and Tommy Steier was credited with the save. Cory Bosecker only allowed two hits to Creighton over six full innings, but left the mound with no decision. Dawson Taylor took the loss (2-2) and Clay Holzworth ended the game on the hill for BU.
 
The final game of the weekend series will be pushed up to an 11 AM start.
