New York, N.Y. -- Bluejay newcomer David Webel made an immediate impact for Creighton, hitting .562 in his first four games as a Bluejay over the weekend. Creighton's leadoff man was rewarded on Monday with the BIG EAST Player of the Week nod. Webel and the Bluejays went 2-2 in weekend games at Lipscomb and Belmont.
The left fielder and his teammates return to the diamond on Friday in the first of a three-game series with city rival Nebraska-Omaha. The series will officially open the Mavericks' new baseball facility, Tal Anderson Field, with a first pitch at 3:00 pm.
