Creighton won the opener on April 7, 15-0 in Lincoln, and Nebraska won the second game 4-3 in 12 innings on April 21 at Rosenblatt. Coming into the game, Nebraska owns a all-time series lead. Good Omen? On Tuesday night, Creighton will go for the series win against Nebraska after splitting the first two games. The Bluejays have not won the season series since 2007, but the last two times, the Jays won two out of three, (2005, 2007), they made the NCAA Tournament. In 2005, The Jays defeated the Huskers when Nebraska was ranked fourth and third in two of the three meetings. Bad Time for First This past weekend, the Bluejays were swept at home by Missouri State. It marked the first sweep at home for the Jays under Ed Servais, as the team hadn t been swept in Omaha since May 18-20, 2003 against Northern Iowa, under then head coach Jack Dahm. The last time Missouri State swept Creighton, was a four-game set from May 5-6, 2001, also in Omaha. Getting Hot Creighton has been fortunate to get some run production from the bottom part of its order, as Nick Becker is currently on a 10-game hit streak. During the streak he is (.444) with four doubles and a home run to go with eight RBI. His home run came on Friday, and was the first of his career, that gave CU a 4-2 lead at the time. Although he has hit in the No. 9 hole for much of the year, Becker has been moved up to the No. 7 spot each of the last two games. Cool Hand Cafaro On April 7 against Nebraska, Vicente Cafaro had quite a few career-highs in 5-5 night, leading Creighton to a 15-0 victory. Below are his accomplishments: Career-high five hits, most hits in a game by a CU player since Robbie Knight against Missouri on May 5, Career-high three doubles, most by a Jay since Dan Norquist at Sam Houston State on February 11, Career-high five runs scored, most since Joe Dunlop did it against Northern Iowa on April 2, Gaining Some Perspective Creighton s 15-0 victory over Nebraska on April 7 Just Win Since Ed Servais took over as head coach of the Bluejays in 2004, Creighton has had the 22nd best winning percentage in the country at.664. Here s a look at the top 40 teams coming into the 2009 season. W L PCT. 1.

The Bluejays are one of just two schools to finish in the top-10 in fielding percentage in each of the last two years (TCU), and are one of just three schools to finish in the top-15 each of the last two years (TCU and Oregon State). This season Creighton has continued it s success as it is currently second in the NCAA in fielding. Below are the leaders in fielding this season: Team Fielding Pct. 1.

Greg Hellhake.243 Brandon Koenigstein.243 Kirk Clark Texas Western Kentucky Duke All About the Glove A large reason Creighton is 15-6 in its last 21 is because of its defense. In its last 21 games, Creighton has made just nine errors good for a.989 fielding percentage while its opponents have made 35 miscues in that same span, just a.957 clip. Change of Style Prior to the April 17 four-sacrifice performance against UIC, Creighton was riding a six-game streak without a sacrifice bunt. After leading the NCAA in sacrifices a year ago with 95, the streak was the longest under head coach Ed Servais. Prior to the six-game stretch, the longest the team had gone without a sacrifice was three games from May 25, 2006-February 9, 2007 and from February 28-March 5, Taking Advantage The CU offense was helped out by some shaky defense in its two games vs. Northern Iowa and Kansas. Those two teams have combined for eight errors, the most in a two game span by a Creighton opponent since Rice (5) and Chicago State (3), combined for eight from March 9-15, Stingy Scoring Before giving up a run in the sixth inning on April 12 against Northern Iowa, Greg Hellhake had been stingy in allowing runs. The run allowed on April 12 marked the first run allowed by Hellhake in 15.1 innings. The streak saw his ERA dip from 5.96 to Knight in Shining Armor Prior to the April 14 loss to Kansas, Creighton had won each of the last 10 games in which Robbie Knight has scored at least one run. For the season, CU is when Knight scores a run, but 7-11 when Knight doesn t cross the plate. Rather Lopsided The April shutout of Nebraska, provided dominant performances at both ends of the spectrum for the Bluejays. Creighton s 15 runs scored were the most scored in a shutout by its pitching staff since a 16-0 victory at Indiana State on April 22, The game against the Sycamores also marked the fewest runs allowed by the pitching staff in a game where CU scored 15 runs offensively. Seven Strong On April 7 against Nebraska, starter Greg Hellhake went just 1.0 inning, allowing no runs and no hits. It snapped a streak of seven straight games, where Bluejay starters went at least 5.0 innings. That is the longest streak since May 3-11, Surviving the Long Ball April 3-5 against Evansville, Creighton surrendered two home runs for the fourth and fifth times this season. It was the first time Creighton has won when surrendering 2+ long balls, as the team is now 3-5 when doing so. Saving the Day After his teammates ran into trouble April 3, Jack VanLeur came on in the seventh inning to pitch the final 2.1 innings for his first career save. He allowed one run on two hits to preserve the 7-4 win and pick up his first save in 35 career appearances. Leading the Way The Creighton bullpen has gotten alot of work this season. Carrying the bulk of the load has been pitchers Jack VanLeur and Bob Lackovic. The two pitchers are tops in the nation in terms of appearances as VanLeur s 33 is tied for the most in the NCAA, while Lackovic s 31 appearances ranks third according to boydsworld.com. Sweeping the Salukis The sweep of Southern Illinois on March 28-29, was a rarity for Creighton. The last time CU managed to capture every game in a series against SIU was April 9-11, 1999, when the Jays managed a four-game sweep. The Bluejays have now won eight of the last 10 against the Salukis. Terrific Trio In the series against Southern Illinois, March 28-29, starters Greg Hellhake, Jeremy Hauer and Jonas Dufek all went at least 6.0 innings for the first time in It was the first time the Jays have had three starters in a row go at least 6.0 innings since May 3-4, 2008, when the team did it against Southern Illinois. The 20.2 innings the three pitchers combined for was the longest such streak since Zak Moore, Pat Venditte and Marc Lewis combined for 21.2 innings from May 24-26, Gotta Watch This One Vicente Cafaro s hidden ball trick in game two of the doubleheader against Southern Illinois, was not the first time he had successfully done it. Cafaro also used the trick as a member of Iowa Western CC, in the NJCAA World Series in Overcoming the Odds CU had to overcome some adversity to win game one of the doubleheader on March 28 against Southern Illinois. The team committed four errors for the first time since June 3, 2007 against Arkansas. It was the first win the Jays have had when committing four errors since April 20, 2007 against Indiana State. Fast Start The Bluejays got out to quick leads in each of their six games from March The team had scored in the first inning in those six straight contests for the first time since it did it from April 22-May 5, Under Ed Servais, Creighton is (48-9 in MVC play) when scoring in the first inning, and (73-16 MVC) when scoring first. Six Run Rule The March 24 series opener against North Dakota proved to be a little more difficult than the Jays had bargained for. The game marked the first time that CU has won when allowing six or more runs. For the

Prior to April 14, Creighton had allowed five runs or less in 11 straight games, its longest such stretch since a 16-game run from May 4-26, Club Prior to March 25 against North Dakota, the Creighton offense had collected at least 10 hits in its last seven games, before just getting nine in the series finale against the Fighting Sioux. The last time CU had a team collect 10 or more hits in seven straight games was April 20-May 4, Let s Play Six This season, the outcome of the game has been decided for the most part after six innings. In 49 games played this year, the team leading after six is In seven ties so far this year after the two-thirds mark, CU is 2-5. Creighton blew its first lead of the year, when leading after eight innings March 25 against North Dakota. The Jays are now 24-2 in those situations. Loving Nature On March 22 against Indiana State, the Bluejays had their 12-game winning streak against the Sycamores snapped. Even with the loss, Creighton has won 18 of the last 20 meetings between the two schools, and has not lost at home against ISU since May 4, Lacking Nothing In the series opener against Indiana State on March 20, Bob Lackovic had a career-performance in shutting down the Sycamores to preserve the 9-4 win. He threw a career-high 3.1 innings, including a careerbest four strikeouts, as he picked up his first win of the season. Milestone Marker On March 14 against South Dakota State, head coach Ed Servais reached the 200 wins mark during his time at Creighton. Over his first six seasons at the helm of CU, Servais is Home Sweet Home The series on March against South Dakota State marked the home opener for Creighton after spending its first 14 games on the road. Among the places the Bluejays traveled to over the first 14 games are Texas, Arizona, Kansas, South Carolina and North Carolina. The Bluejays extended their home opener winning streak to eight games with their 8-2 win over South Dakota State. The group has not lost its first home game of the season since a 2001 defeat to Northern Iowa, 5-3. Under head coach Ed Servais the team is 5-0. He s a Saturday Guy Saturdays for shortstop Elliot Soto have produced career-high results. On March 7, against Albany, Soto had a career-high four hits, going 4-6 with three runs scored. On Saturday, March 14 against South Dakota State, he tied his career-high going 4-5 with two runs scored. Offensive Offense In the last two outings of its spring trip, Creighton scored a combined two runs, after being shutout 1-0 to Coastal Carolina and losing 6-2 to UNC- Wilmington. It is the lowest output in back-to-back games for the Jays since April 6-7, 2007 against Wichita State when the team lost 2-1 and 7-1. Career Performance Greg Hellhake pitched the best game of his career thus far March 14 against South Dakota State. He went a Bluejay career-high seven innings, allowing just two runs on five hits. He struck out two and walked just two. Stranded This season the Creighton offense has struggled at times from a lack of run production, but not from a lack of opportunities. On the season the Bluejays have had 849 total base runners compared to their opponents having just 674 total base runners. Creighton has had 310 of its 849 runners score for a %. Its opponents have had 210 of their 674 runners score for a %. Can We Do This Annually? On June, 2, 2007 Creighton beat Albany in the teams inaugural matchup at the NCAA Regional held at Fayetteville, Ark. On March 7, in the schools second-ever matchup, CU broke out of an early season slump, scoring 20 runs. In the two teams meetings, the Jays own a advantage. Not a Good First Impression The Bluejays finally broke their six-game losing streak on March 1 against Notre Dame. It is the first time in Creighton s recorded history that it started 0-6. Creighton s six-game losing streak was not something the program is used to. The streak was the longest since a 2003 stretch saw the team lose six straight contests from April 18-April 25. Good Offensive Display After not having a big offensive display in almost a year, on March 1 against Notre Dame Creighton knocked out 16 hits, en route to a 6-3 victory. Those 16 hits were the most by the team since March 16, 2008 against Chicago State. Creighton has since had four 17+ hit performances in the last two months. (20 vs. Albany on 3/7, 17 vs. South Dakota State on 3/15, 18 vs. North Dakota on 3/24, 17 vs. Northern Iowa 4/12 and 19 vs. Iowa on 4/29) Raging Bull Those that have watched Bluejay closer Kirk Clark

In the ninth inning on March 1 against Notre Dame, Clark got the chance to close the door on the Irish as he picked up his first career save. He retired the side in order, striking out two of the three hitters he faced. That s Efficient March 1 against Notre Dame Greg Hellhake was able to keep the Bluejays out of serious trouble through the first four innings, without having much work for himself. Hellhake needed just 33 pitches through the first four innings, as he faced just one above the minimum number of batters. Beware of the Brooms Creighton is not used to suffering a four-game sweep. Prior to the season opening series against Sam Houston State, Feb , the last time Creighton was swept during a four-game series was May 5-6, 2001 in back-to-back doubleheaders against Missouri State. Close Call The first five of Creighton s losses this year were by two runs or less. It is the first time since April, 11-17, 2007 that five games in a row have been decided by two runs or less. Prior to February, Creighton had not had five straight losses been decided by two runs or less since 2006, Below is the last time Creighton had five straight losses decided by two runs or less 4/2/06 Wichita State 1-3 (8) Working on Fundamentals The opening weekend against Sam Houston State (Feb ) saw all four games decided by two runs or less, making the execution of fundamentals crucial in deciding the outcomes. On the weekend Bluejay base runners were picked off three times. All of last season CU had just six runners picked off. Fielding fundamentals also came into play as CU saw it s error total rise in three straight games ( ) for the first time since a four game stretch from April 8-15, 2005, when the team also had a streak of ( ). Career Series Sophomore Jimmy Swift had a career series against Sam Houston State (Feb ). On Feb. 20 night he provided CU with its first two runs of the season, courtesy of a home run in the second inning. It was the first home run of his career. The next day he continued his hot hitting as he hit a double down the left field line to bring in a run. It was the first double of his career, and he finished with four RBI on the weekend, surpassing his previous career season-high of two. Congrats to Coach Smith Last month it was announced that Creighton pitching coach Rob Smith was named one of two recipients for 2008 NCAA Teaching Pro Award. The other was Bob Shepherd of North Florida Smith is one of two CU coaches to be honored for their work last season. In December head coach Ed Servais was tabbed as one of two NCAA FieldTurf Coach of the Year recipients. The other was the College World Series champion Mike Batesole of Fresno State. Look Out! Junior Robbie Knight has not been one to be afraid of opposing pitchers coming inside. Knight owns the school record for most hit by pitches during a career with 69. In 2007 he set the NCAA single-season record after being beaned 35 times. He is currently seventh on the NCAA all-time hit by pitch leaderboard.
