Scouting the Pirates: 25-22, 7-8 BIG EAST
Entering the series with Creighton at 7-8 in conference play, Seton Hall is on the outside of the group to qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament if the season ended today. However with series remaining against the Bluejays and Villanova, Seton Hall is in prime position to reach Prasco Park.
Although Seton Hall was swept by Connecticut last weekend, the Pirates were more than competitive as Seton Hall held the lead in each contest.
The Pirates enter the weekend hitting .292 as a team, led by Oscar Murray (.333) and Max Viera (.331). Three other regulars bring an average over .300. Known for their speed on the base paths, the Pirates have three players with more than 20 stolen bases, led by Devin Hack who is 24-of-24 this season.
On the mound the Pirates bring a 4.76 ERA, notching 363 strikeouts in 410.2 innings. Jay Allmer is the Pirates' closer, with five saves in 16 appearances.
Scouting the Bluejays: 23-19, 9-6 BIG EAST
After being swept at home by Xavier last weekend, the Bluejays faced local rival Nebraska on Tuesday. Finishing a game that was suspended from April 18 the Bluejays fought back from a 5-4 deficit to take the win 6-5. Later in the evening Nebraska earned the split with a win in the regularly scheduled game.
The Bluejay bats were cold against Xavier, managing just two runs in the series with the Musketeers. Things heated up against Nebraska as the Bluejays scored six runs over 11 innings. As a team Creighton is hitting. 262 led by four players over .300. The leading hitter is catcher Hogan Helligso at .324, while senior Sterling Hayes brings a .310 average to New Jersey.
The Bluejays enter the weekend with a team ERA of 5.31, led by reliever Marc Lidd at 3.05 over 20.2 innings. Lidd and Malakai
Vetock have come on over the past few weeks. Vetock tossed three scoreless frames to earn the win in Creighton's 6-5 win over Nebraska.
Bluejays Earn Series Win Over Nebraska in Unlikely Fashion
Resuming play in the bottom of the seventh of a 4-4 tie with Nebraska having the bases loaded and no outs, Creighton's chances of winning the opening affair on Tuesday, May 9 were slim.
Brought out of the bullpen just before lightning halted play on April 18, sophomore Malakai Vetock had other plans. The Bluejay righty minimized the Nebraska damage with a sacrifice fly and an inning-ending double play to hold the game to 5-4.
Hitting in the top of the eighth the Bluejays plated a pair on RBIÂ doubles from senior Ben Gbur and sophomore Nolan Sailors to surge ahead 6-5. Vetock shut the door on the Husker over the final two frames to give Creighton it's second 6-5 win over Nebraska this season and secure the series win.
The Road to Prasco
With two weekends remaining Connecticut has clinched one of the four spots in the BIG EAST Tournament. No team has been eliminated. Xavier has all but clinched a spot at 11-4, thus it is likely that Creighton (9-6), Seton Hall (7-8) and Georgetown (8-9) will fight it out for the final two spots.
Entering the series at 9-6 in conference, Creighton needs two wins this weekend to clinch a spot. The Bluejays face the Pirates and Connecticut in the final two weeks. Georgetown has the weekend off, then closes the season with Xavier. While Seton Hall has Creighton and Villanova. The Pirates took the series from Georgetown, while the Hoyas won two of three from Creighton.
Hayes Riding 19-game Reached Base Streak
Senior Sterling Hayes enters the series with Seton Hall on a career-high 19-game streak of reaching base safely. Last season former Bluejay Alan Roden closed the 2022 season with a 34-game streak.
