The Creighton baseball program will be featured on at least four national telecasts during the 2014 season. Fox Sports 1 will carry the Bluejays game at St. John's on May 11, while CBS Sports Network will feature Creighton in three contests at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

The lineup of four games begins on Wednesday, April 23 when Creighton hosts Iowa at 6:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. The Bluejays will be home for another non-conference foe on CBS Sports Network on Tuesday, April 29 when Nebraska comes to Omaha for a 6:30 p.m. start.

The first of two BIG EAST baseball showdowns will air on Friday, May 2 when Creighton welcomes Seton Hall to open a three-game series at 6:30 p.m. Creighton's final guaranteed television appearance comes on the road at St. John's on May 11.

Creighton just hit an inside the Park Grand Slam against Georgetown!

A first for TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

Creighton also has 2 home runs in the same game, a first for CU at TDAPO.

Tonight's game against the Huskers has been pushed back two week to May 13th.

Tonight's game against the Huskers has been pushed back two week to May 13th.

That should also help attendance for the game. It seemed like the games in this matchup were earlier than normal. I thought the second game in Omaha is usually around May 10. Maybe it was to accomodate the Big 10 Baseball tournament.

Jays and St. John's is on FS1 right now. Two best teams in he conference.

Creighton wins 15-5 to take the weekend series from St. John's, heading into the season series finale at Xavier next weekend, while St. John's goes to Seton Hall.

Creighton 12-3 27-15-1

Here's what I know. NU cannot get here in time for 7pm start. CU leaves tomorrow for Xavier. Servais would like to play Sunday but it is not known if NU can make that work or making arrangements with TDAPO for staffing, etc. Stay tuned.

Word I got came from NET but there is still communication between the two schools. Stay tuned.

Gerber Becomes First Player with Two HR at TD Ameritrade in 10-8 Win

Senior Mike Gerber may have closed his home career in style, becoming the first player to hit two home runs in the same game at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, as the Bluejays bested Stephen F. Austin, 10-8.

Creighton used 9 pitchers in this midweek fame.

Sova Puts Baseball on Brink of Championship in Complete Game Win, 7-2

Behind an 83 pitch complete game from senior Bryan Sova, the Creighton baseball team defeated Xavier 7-2 on Friday, May 16. The win moves Creighton within one win of the BIG EAST Championship.

[Coyote]

Creighton (30-16-1) wins 7-6 against Xavier.

First Big East conference title banner for Creighton!! (I think)

I thought something looked fishy about the Big East Tournament schedule:

Game 6 features a 2-0 team playing a 2-1 team, with winner take all, which means it is not a double elimination tornament, because it appears that Fox Sports only wants to show one game on Sunday.

That sucks unless you happen to be the 2-1 team and win!

The CWS did that for a few years to placate CBS' need for a single game, before they went to a three game Championship series... It's all about a TV ratings....

Serious question. Is Servais going to stay at Creighton considering how awful the Big East is?

Sova has had a heck of a season. To transition from dominant closer/reliever to then throw a complete game in the Tourney is impressive.

Nice to see the new kids come in and take over Big East Baseball.

No double elimination, no tournament championship, no post season for Creighton.

Maybe we can get Creighton to get rid of Baseball and put in Hockey. Servais has phoned it in, and Big East Baseball is no better than little league baseball.
