With six outs remaining and Seton Hall holding onto a four-run lead a 58-minute lightning delay gave top-seeded Creighton enough time to regroup and spark a comeback that ended in a 10-9 win over the fourth-seeded Pirates in the opening game of the 2019 Big East Tournament at Prasco Park.
After junior left-hander Ryan Connolly retired the first hitter in the top of the eighth inning a lightning strike halted action for 58 minutes on Thursday afternoon. Once play resumed, junior right-hander Mitch Boyer finished what Connolly started to send the Bluejays to the bottom of the eighth trailing 8-4.
