Scouting Creighton (21-10, 6-0 BIG EAST)
After winning 21-of-25 games to improve to 21-8, the Bluejays dropped a pair to Arizona.
Creighton is hitting .260 as a team, led by Alan Roden (.376), Jared Wegner (.348, 9 HR) and Andrew Meggs (.295).
On the mound the Bluejays have a 3.44 ERA, which lowers to 2.39 at home. Creighton has collected 262 strikeouts in 272 innings. The leaders of the pitching staff are BIG EAST Preseason Pitcher of the Year Dylan Tebrake (5-1, 2.75 ERA) with 56 strikeouts in 52.1 innings and bullpen pieces Paul Bergstrom (2.93 ERA) and Tommy Steier (1.19 ERA, 7 saves).
Scouting Seton Hall (10-26, 2-4 BIG EAST)
The Pirates played the toughest non-conference schedule in the BIG EAST, but it took a toll as Seton Hall began 2022 just 1-18. Since that, however, the Pirates are 9-8. This week Seton Hall comes to Omaha after a pair of midweek wins over Saint Peter's (3-2) and Wagner (6-0). Â
The Pirates come into Charles Schwab Field Omaha hitting .245 as a team, led by .316 from Will Gale and .293 by Steve Grober.
Â
On the mound Seton Hall holds a 6.97 team ERA. Starters Hunter Waldis, Nick Payero and Brennan O'Neil have a combined ERA of 7.29 in 105 innings.
Series History with Seton Hall (21-8)
Creighton owns a 21-8 lead over the Pirates, including an 8-4 record against Seton Hall in Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The Bluejays have won seven of the last nine meetings.
Midweek Recap: Creighton (0-2 vs. Arizona)
Facing the toughest opponent of the 2022 thus far, the Bluejays battled 2021 CWS Participant Arizona for a double midweek series.
In two games with the Wildcats the Bluejays left 18 runners on base, falling 6-0 in the opener and 3-1 in the finale. Creighton held a 1-0 lead entering the sixth inning on Tuesday and trailed 1-0 as the Monday contest went to the eighth. In short, the gap between Creighton and Arizona is very small.
Midweek Recap: Seton Hall (2-0 vs. Saint Peter's and Wagner)
The Pirates' offense appeared to start percolating, posting 19 hits in the two games.  Seton Hall earned a 3-2 win over Saint Peter's with a bases loaded walk on Tuesday. The following afternoon six Pirate hurlers combined to deliver a four-hit shutout of Wagner.
