Series History
Creighton leads the overall series with UC Davis, 2-1. The two squads met in 2012 at UC Davis, where the Bluejays took the first and last game of a three-game series. Â
The Bluejays hold a 20-9 edge over Air Force, but dropped both meetings earlier this season in Colorado.
No Place Like Home
After opening the season 1-10, it seems all the Bluejays needed to get themselves going was to come home. Creighton opened its home schedule with a loss, but went on to take the next three from Utah Valley to win its series with the Wolverines. Creighton's winning streak continued on Wednesday as the Bluejays took down Kansas for its fourth straight win, that one coming on the road.
Creighton finished the 2016 season with 22 victories and just four losses in TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (TDAPO).
Scouting UC Davis (5-10)
The Aggies have not played in just under two weeks as UC Davis is on the quarter system and were taking finals through Friday, March 24.
UC Davis enters the series with the Bluejays at 5-10, having dropped eight of its last 10 games. Two of the Aggies five wins came at home against Utah Valley (Feb. 25 & 26).
The Aggies' rotation will send southpaw Orlando Razo to the bump in the opener, followed by righties Justin Mullins and Matt Blais. UC Davis comes to TDAPO with a team ERA of 5.30, issuing 59 walks in 129 innings.
Offensively the Aggies are led by four hitters atop their order in 1-2-3-4 hitters Jacob Thomas (.316), Mason Novak (.471). Ryan Anderson (.373) and Ignation Diaz (.311). As a team UC Davis enters the weekend with a .267 average.
Scouting Air Force (9-11)
Air Force is 8-3 in non-conference games this season, but just 1-8 in Mountain West battles. The Falcons took the first two meetings with Creighton earlier this season in Colorado on March 8.
The Falcons bring a high-powered offense to Omaha on Wednesday, but have four games prior to facing the Bluejays as Air Force has a weekend series with Nevada and a midweek game against Nebraska-Omaha on Tuesday.
Air Force entered the weekend with a team batting average of .334, led by Tyler Zabojnik's .442 and Drew Wiss' .424.
On the mound it's a different story for Air Force. The Falcons have a team ERA of 8.09.
Bluejay Bats Remain Hot in Kansas
The 19 run explosion on Sunday, March 19 carried over to Creighton's midweek battle at Kansas on Wednesday, March 22. In Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Jayhawks, Creighton pounded out 10 hits as eight of the starting nine delivered at least one knock.
During Creighton four-game winning streak the Bluejays are hitting .331, with seven players bringing in at least four hits. The pitching staff, meanwhile has a 3.50 ERA.
In the Bluejays' first 12 games the team had an average of .211 and a team ERA of 4.35.
