Creighton's tallies came on an RBI single in the first by Connor Capece, a run crossing in the second on an error and an RBI walk to Kyle Hess. Butler countered with an RBI hit-by-pitch in the second by AJ Soloman and a two-run home run from Connor Sackett in the third.
The fourth inning changed the course of the game as Creighton plated eight runs on six hits and two Butler errors. A pair of hit-by-pitches and a error loaded the bases, then RBI infield singles by Capece and Matt Scherrman gave the Bluejays a 5-3 edge. Dakota Duffalo followed with a two-run single, then Kyle Hess blasted an RBI double to push Creighton's lead to 8-3. A run scoring passed ball and RBI singles from Tate Gillen and Nolan Sailors extended the Creighton advantage to 11-3.
