Jacks back in Sioux Falls Tuesday
Division I baseball returns to Sioux Falls Stadium Tuesday for the second time in a week as South Dakota State hosts Creighton (Neb.).
First pitch between the Jackrabbits and the Missouri Valley Conference-leading Bluejays is set for 6 p.m. Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. . . .
This should be a good test as the Bluejays sit atop the Missouri Valley Conference. CU is 11-4 in the MVC and coming off a win over perennial power Wichita State. The Bluejays are 31-10 overall and ranked #33 by the NCBWA (National College Baseball Writers Association). So get out and back the Jacks!
Go Jackrabbits, beat the Bluejays! ;D

Schaecher Shuts Down Shockers in 10-1 Baseball Win
http://www.theomahachannel.com/sport...50/detail.html
POSTED: 10:32 am CDT April 25, 2005
The Creighton baseball team salvaged the final game of a three-game series against Wichita State with a 10-1 victory Sunday afternoon in Wichita, Kan. The Bluejays used a seven-run ninth inning to pull away and remain in first place with a 11-4 MVC record and 31-10 overall.
Adam Schaecher got the start and pitched seven solid innings, only allowing a seventh inning run to the Shockers. The junior did not strike out a batter and walked one in giving up six hits while earning his fourth victory of the season.
The Bluejays took a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Tony Daniel notched a lead-off single and was moved over to second on Brad Dutton's 14th sacrifice bunt of the year. Daniel moved to third on Tony Roth's ground out and scored on a base hit up the middle by Colin Shockey.
Zach Daeges single to put two runners on. Dan Norquist also knocked a single to score Shockey from second base. Daeges and Norquist were left in scoring position when Gabe Lapito stuck out to end the threat.
Wichita State scored its first run in the seventh inning when Damon Sublett doubled to deep centerfield on the first pitch of the inning. With two outs, Tad Reida sent the ball to right field allowing Sublett to score. Reida was run down trying to advance to second on the throw in from the outfield to end the inning.
CU took another two run lead in the eighth inning. Jim Hinrichs worked a one-out walk and moved to third base on a single by Chase Odenreider. With runners at the corners, Tony Daniel laid a sacrifice bunt down the first base line and Hinrichs slide under the tag at the plate to score CU's third run of the day.
The Jays put the game away with a seven-run ninth inning highlighted by a three-run pinch hit double off the bat of Dave Schultz and two run home run by Daniel.
Creighton had a season-high 17-hits in Sunday's game after managing 11-hits in the first two games of the series. The Bluejays put the lead-off man on base in six of the nine innings and left six runners in scoring position.
Creighton will travel to Sioux Falls, S.D. for a mid-week non-conference game against the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. The game will be played at Canaries Stadium in Sioux Falls with the first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. The CU-SDSU game can be heard on KHLP (1420 AM) in the Omaha area or on the internet at www.gocreighton.com.
Game Notes: Creighton is 22-0 this season when leading after seven innings ... The Jays are 25-0 when scoring five runs or more and 11-0 when scoring double digits ... CU is now 16-1 when wearing its white uniforms this season ... The Shockers had two players get hit in the head during the game, in the second inning Adam Schaecher hit Danny Jackson in the helmet on a 0-2 pitch and in the fifth inning, Zach Daeges lined a ball back at starting pitcher Jereme Foster that nicked him below the eye, both players were able to stay in the game but both Jackson was pulled before his next at-bat and Foster did not come out to pitch the sixth inning.

Creighton wins Sioux Falls matchup with Jacks
SIOUX FALLS -- Creighton (Neb.) scored in every inning but the fourth en route to a 13-1 victory over South Dakota State in college baseball action Tuesday night at Sioux Falls Stadium.
The Bluejays, who are receiving votes in NCAA Division I national polls, improved to 32-10 overall. SDSU dropped to 12-28.
Creighton jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning and made it 8-0 before the Jackrabbits scored their lone run of the game in the bottom of the sixth. Tim Hanigan led off the sixth for SDSU with a double, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly by Greg Geary.
Five different players accounted for SDSU's five hits.
Chris Gradoville hit a two-run homer for the Bluejays in the second inning off Jackrabbit starter Francisco Torres (1-6) and Dave Schultz added a two-run shot in the eighth inning.

Re: Creighton - Baseball
It's too bad the weather didn't cooperate. It was very brisk. I haven't seen an attendance figure, but I estimate 250 fans, not bad considering. I know about 4 others that would have gone if it was warm and they aren't big fans.
I was bummed that there was no beer sales :-/

Re: Creighton - Baseball
I was a little surprised by it too, but I have purchased beer at Eck Stadium (on more then one occasion) myself. I have heard rumors that beer is sold at some UNC events but can not confirm this through first hand knowledge.
Go State! ;D
