#BIGEASTbase Minute – Top Seeds Meet In Saturday’s Elimination Game

Omaha, Neb. – For the second time in as many years, Creighton and St. John’s will meet each other in “Elimination Saturday” or Game 5 of the BIG EAST Baseball Championship Presented by Jeep.

As the Déjà vu theme continues from the 2016 tournament in Aberdeen, Md., St. John’s, the No. 2 seed, advanced out of the losers’ bracket with a 3-2 win over fourth-seeded Seton Hall on Friday. The Red Storm rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the eighth inning to win. No. 1 seed Creighton lost to No. 3 seed Xavier in Friday’s nightcap, 7-6.
