Box Score

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco baseball team (10-10) dropped a hard-fought 5-2 decision to Creighton (9-5) Saturday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Creighton gained the early advantage at the top of the first inning, jumping ahead 1-0 on a Will MacLean RBI single to right field.
The Blue Jays added to their lead in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four runs to take a 5-0 advantage. Despite only recording two hits, a throwing error by third baseman Patrick Keighran and a Kyle Hess sacrifice bunt helped Creighton expand its margin.
San Francisco put a tally on the board in the bottom half of the sixth when Trevor Harmon punched a solo home run over the left-field wall, trimming the deficit to 5-1.
The Dons continued to rally in the bottom of the ninth as Jordan Lewis led off with a long double to right-center field. Following two straight outs, pinch hitter Eddison Esquivel pushed a single through the right side of the infield, scoring Lewis, to inch closer at 5-2.
The rally was abruptly cut short after Tyler Harries grounded out to second, securing Creighton's 5-2 victory.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

Harmon continued his hitting streak, extending it to three straight, as he went one-for-two at the plate with a home run. His solo blast in the sixth inning also marked his second long ball in the last three games.
Solid bullpen play guided the green and gold, as Gabriel Barrett and Cal Amborn combined for four innings, allowing one hit, two walks, and two strikeouts.
Joe Soberon earned the start on the mound, pitching a solid five innings, allowing just three earned runs on five hits, two walks, and struck out one batter.
