A five-run lead wasn't enough Saturday for Creighton as Seton Hall rallied for an 8-6 victory in the Big East series opener in South Orange, N.J. CU went up 5-0 in the second inning. Tate Gillen's two-run homer was the big blow, which came after two Pirate errors and two walks helped prolong the frame. Seton Hall (13-21, 1-3) wouldn't allow another run until the eighth, however, while a six-run fifth inning put the Pirates ahead for good.

Creighton softball raced to an early lead, then Butler answered. But in the end, Erika Perez's grand slam was the final push the Bluejays needed en route to a 10-7 win Saturday at CU Sports Complex. It was the second homer of the day for the junior infielder, and the two-out shot turned a 7-6 deficit in the sixth inning into a three-run lead. Creighton (17-20, 7-7) has also scored in double digits in the first two games of the series and moved back to .500 in Big East play.

It wasn't the usual walk-off, but it was a game-ending hit nonetheless that sent Omaha baseball to an 11-1 win Sunday over North Dakota State. The Mavericks (11-18, 7-4) recovered after dropping the series opener at Anderson Field to win the final two, the last coming on Cardel Dick's single to make it a 10-run game and induce the mercy rule after seven innings. It was Dick's third hit of the day. Tyler Bishop opened the scoring with a two-run double as UNO put up six in the first inning.

A day earlier, Creighton was shut out through the first seven innings. That wasn't the case Saturday, when the Bluejays struck for five first-inning runs and rolled to a 14-2 win over Connecticut at Schwab Field. Nolan Sailors ripped a two-run double to put CU on the board, and the Jays (18-8, 1-1) never looked back. They added four in the third on three two-out singles to go up 9-0, giving its pitchers plenty of support.

Two days after Omaha baseball delivered key hits en route to its second win over a preseason Top 25 team — an 11-9 nailbiter against Nebraska — the Maverick bats couldn't replicate that comeback. The results was a 6-3 win for North Dakota State on Friday at Anderson Field, snapping UNO's four-game winning streak. The Mavs (9-18, 3-7 Summit League) were held without a hit until the sixth inning and didn't score until the Bison went to their bullpen in the eighth.
