#9 Connecticut Rallies To Upend Baseball, 6-3
Huskies score four runs in 8th inning to move into first place


No. 9 Connecticut scored four runs in the eighth inning to rally for a 6-3 win over host Creighton on Friday evening at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The victory moved the Huskies (39-13, 14-5 BIG EAST) into first place in the BIG EAST and prevented Creighton (25-23, 10-10 BIG EAST) from clinching a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament heading into Saturday's regular-season finale. Creighton will host Connecticut on Saturday at Noon on BEDN, starting at the same time that Xavier (33-21, 14-6 BIG EAST) hosts Georgetown (28-24, 9-10 BIG EAST) in another matchup with massive implications.
