LITTLE ROCK, Ark - The Creighton baseball team suffered a series sweep with a 7-1 loss at Arkansas-Little Rock on Sunday, Feb. 16.
Creighton fell to 0-3, while Arkansas-Little Rock (UALR) moved to 3-0 in 2014.
Down 2-0 after the first inning, the Bluejays got on the board in the top of the second with three straight hits. Sophomore Reagan Fowler got things going for Creighton with a one-out infield single. Junior Kevin Lamb moved runners to first and second with a single to center. Sophomore Brett Murray followed with an RBI double to right-center to plate Fowler. Lamb, however, was cut down at the plate attempting to tie the game at 2-2.
With new momentum, UALR plated four runs in the bottom of the third on three infield singles and a three-run home run to push its lead to 6-1. The Trojans added an insurance run in the seventh to complete the three game sweep of Creighton.
