With the three-game series against in-state rival Nebraska spread out over the course of one mid-week game at different points of the season, the game usually serves as a barometer to test out how well or how poorly the Creighton baseball team is playing at that particular time.
It was that way in the first meeting — a 14-6 Husker win on April 4th down in Lincoln — when the Bluejays fell to 8-15 just before welcoming a nationally-ranked St. John’s club coming to town to open Big East play, and it was that way again on Tuesday night at TD Ameritrade Park when senior right-handed pitcher Austin Stroschein held Nebraska’s offense in check to help Creighton earn their seventh consecutive win behind a 5-2 decision to further prove that this batch of underclassmen and inexperienced ‘Baby Bluejays’ are learning how to fly on the fly.
