St. Thomas has been battered by weather this season, playing just 15 games. The Tommies ended an 11-game losing streak with a 2-1 win at Kansas State on March 22.
Coming to Omaha the Tommies have a team batting average of .212, but the top four hitters in the lineup are at .298 or above. The leader at the plate is Colin Lewandowski, hitting .375 over five games.
On the mound St. Thomas has a team ERA of 6.97.
Scouting the Bluejays: 9-9
Following a midweek loss at Kansas, the Bluejays face off with St. Thomas for the first three-game series at home of the season.
The Bluejays won two of three games last week, earning a victory over Nebraska (6-5) on Tuesday and splitting a weekend pair with Minnesota.
Creighton enters Wednesday's contest hitting .247 as a team, including Nolan Clifford's team-high .317 and Sterling Hayes at .311. On the mound the Bluejays have a 5.41 ERA.
Baseball Announces Cox Kids Game as Well as TV Times
Creighton Baseball is continuing its tradition of moving a game in May to an early start to allow for local schools to attend the game. The 2023 Cox Kids day will be on Tuesday, May 16 at 11:00 am against Omaha.
An annual event, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Cox Kids Day to be sidelined during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Last season the Bluejays faced Butler for Cox Kids Day on Friday, May 13.
In addition, the Bluejays have finalized agreements for four additional televised games. Creighton's first televised contest saw the Bluejays defeat Nebraska 6-5 on March 21. That game was carried on Nebraska Public Media.
Two additional contests will be aired throughout the state on Nebraska Public Media as the Bluejays' game on Friday, April 7 at 6:00 p.m. with Villanova and Creighton's game on Saturday, May 6 at 6:00 pm against Xavier.
The Bluejays have a pair of games televised nationally as Creighton's next home game with Nebraska on May 9 will be on CBSSN and Creighton's series opener with Connecticut on May 18 will be on FS1.
Finally the Bluejays have two games slated for the BIG EAST Digital Network on FloBaseball.tv. The full schedule is below.
