Box Score Seton Hall led 5-3 going into Creighton’s final at bat. Creighton senior Ryan Fitzgerald opened the Bluejays’ ninth inning with a full-count walk. After a strikeout, pinch-hitter Brennan Hammer reached on an infield chopper and was replaced at first base by pinch-runner Will Bamesberger.
ABERDEEN, Md. – It was the second ninth-inning higher-seed victory in a row for the BIG EAST Championship on Thursday night as Creighton defeated Seton Hall, 6-5, in the night cap at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium. The final frame saw Creighton plate three runs on just one hit, due in part to three Seton Hall errors and a walk-off wild pitch on an attempted intentional walk.
