The bottom third of Creighton's order (Hogan Helligso, Ben Gbur and Kyle Hess) combined to go 6-for-10 with five RBI to help the Bluejays sweep St. Thomas with a 7-2 win on Sunday, April 2.
It was the first multi-hit game of the season for Gbur. He went 3-for-6 in a pair of games against St. Thomas to raise his season average 47 points.
Helligso, meanwhile, went 4-for-6 with five RBI and five runs scored against St. Thomas to boost his average 58 points to .295.
Helligso Earns BIG EAST Honor Roll Spot
Hogan led Creighton to a 3-1 week with a .571 average (4-for-7) with two doubles, one triple and five RBI. Helligso also scored five runs, posted a slugging percentage of 1.143 and an on-base percentage of .667. His efforts earned the Omaha native a spot on the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Monday, April 3.
