Winning in Omaha is a big deal, no matter when it happens.
Six Arizona pitchers combined on a 7-hit shutout, while the Wildcats scored all of their runs in the final three innings of a 6-0 win at Creighton on Monday night in Omaha, Neb.
It was the first win for the UA (25-12) at Charles Schwab Field, site of the College World Series, since Game 1 of the 2016 CWS championship series. It had dropped four in a row there, including both games in the 2021 CWS.
The Wildcats’ ninth true road victory this season also snapped a 14-game home win streak for Creighton (21-9) and gives them a chance to finish the current 5-game road trip with a winning record after losing two of three at Utah.
