Gillen and Deters Lead Bluejays with Two RBI
South Orange, N.J. -- A four-run sixth inning gave the Creighton Baseball team a 7-3 win over Seton Hall on Sunday, April 13.
The victory pushed Creighton to a 20-10 mark on the season and 3-2 in BIG EAST play, while Seton Hall fell to 13-22 overall and 1-4 in conference action.
Each of the first two runs of the game came off the bat of Tate Gillen as Creighton's leadoff hitter opened the contest with his second home run of the series. In the second inning Gillen lifted a sacrifice fly to left.
Seton Hall responded with single runs in the third and fourth frames as Jimmy Brennan drove an RBI double to left in the third, while Marcos Ali lined an RBI double down the left field line to knot the game at 2-2.
Teddy Deters reclaimed the lead for Creighton with an RBI single up the middle in the fifth, only to see Seton Hall pull even in the bottom half with another RBI knock from Brennan.
Creighton took the lead for good with a four run sixth, ignited by RBI singles from Nolan Sailors and Ben North. Deters followed with an RBI walk, while the final run of the frame crossed on a Pirate error.
Creighton closer Garrett Langrell earned the win with 2.1 frames of scoreless relief to move to 4-1 on the season, while Seton Hall reliever Stephen Curry took the loss (2-2) giving up four runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks in one inning.
The two squads will battle once more later this morning in the rubber game of the series, set to begin at 12:00 p.m.
