A poorly executed pick-off attempt and a disappearing act by the offense cost Ed Servais’ Creighton Bluejays their 10-game home winning streak in a 4-3 loss to the Jacksonville Dolphins on Friday night at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.
After getting knocked around in the first two innings, sophomore right-handed pitcher Michael Baumann and the rest of the Jacksonville pitching staff locked up the Creighton offense. Over the final eight and 2/3 innings, Baumann and three relievers allowed only one hit — a single to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning — to limit the Bluejays while their offense chipped away at any early three-run deficit.
