Husker bats silent as Creighton evens season series; Erstad shoulders blame

He got 15. And the senior's career-high five innings and a shutdown performance from the Bluejays bullpen were more than enough to silence Nebraska's offense in a 5-2 Creighton win at TD Ameritrade Park.

It was a long way from the 14-6 drubbing on April 4 Nebraska laid on Creighton at Haymarket Park.

And with a road series at Big Ten-leading Minnesota fast approaching, Husker coach Darin Erstad put it on his own shoulders to flip the switch on NU's offense.

"I'm the hitting coach, and we haven't hit, and I've got to figure it out quickly because it's not good right now," Erstad said.
