CINCINNATI, OH - Xavier baseball was in the throws of another close duel with the BIG EAST leaders. While Creighton took the win 11-9, there was never as easy moment throughout the game.
Things started like they did in Game One, with a first-inning run. The 1-0 score held for four full innings until Jack Housinger gave Xavier the lead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. Jonathan Kelly and Trevor Olson combined to hold Creighton in check for 5.2 innings
Creighton hit a grand slam in the top of the seventh to retake the lead, but it would be challenging to keep it.
