LINCOLN, NEB. — Despite winning 11 of the last 13 meetings with Nebraska, the Creighton baseball team always seems to enter the I-80 rivalry matchup as the underdog. The Bluejays are often overshadowed by their in-state counterpart, fueling their competitive fire every time they take the field against the Cornhuskers.
“We are kind of the underdogs coming in here, no matter what the records are,” Head Coach Ed Servais said. “They want to prove [to] people that, ‘Hey, we got a good club.’ So, I think they kind of play with a chip on their shoulder. I’m a huge fan of that.
