Finals week had Creighton coach Ed Servais a little on edge about his team’s ability to hit the reset button with Big East preseason favorite St. John’s in Omaha this weekend for a big three-game series. However, some good fortune courtesy of a few defensive miscues by the Red Storm and a fifth inning grand slam by junior first baseman Jake Holton put Servais’ worries to rest as the Bluejays improved to 30-10 on the season Friday night with an 11-0 drubbing of the visitors from the Big Apple.
Holton went 3 for 5 at the plate and drove in six runs on the night, while senior right-hander Mitch Ragan held things down on the six scoreless innings to help Creighton win its fifth straight game since dropping two out of three at home to Xavier at the end of April.
