Nebraska Baseball Sweeps Creighton 8-4, First Series Sweep Since 2015
The Nebraska Huskers baseball team defeated their in-state rivals, the Creighton Bluejays, with an 8-4 victory on Tuesday night in Omaha. This win marked a significant milestone for Nebraska (38-14), as it completed their first series sweep against Creighton since 2015. The Huskers established an early lead, scoring in the first and second innings before extending their advantage with a five-run fifth inning. Although Creighton (28-22) attempted a comeback in the sixth inning with a three-run home run, Nebraska's defense held strong in the final innings to secure the win. Drew Grego led the offensive effort for Nebraska, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs and tying a school record with three doubles. The team also set a program record for hits by pitch in a season, reaching 112. Pitcher Cooper Katskee earned the win after pitching 5.2 innings, while the bullpen effectively shut down Creighton's late rallies. With this victory, Nebraska concludes its regular season series against Creighton and prepares to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers in their final regular-season series.
