ISU starter Jake Petricka (2-1) suffered the loss, after giving up six run but only four were earned in six innings of work on the mound.  Petricka also struck out five Jays batters while walking three.  Creighton reliever Jack VanLeur (1-1) earned the win in relief of starter Jeremy Hauer and shut down the Sycamore offense, as he allowed just one run on two hits in 2.2 innings on the mound.

The Jays scored a run in each of the first two innings to take a 2-0 lead and then widened that lead to 4-0 in the top of the third inning.  Scott Thornburg walked to lead off the inning and Ian Dike doubled to left center to score Thornburg for the first run of the frame.  Jimmy Swift then laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt as Ian Dike advanced to third.  Petricka then struck out Robbie Knight before Elliot Soto reached on a throwing error by Pascual Del Real, which allowed Dike to score for the fourth run of the game

The Sycamores answered back with three runs in the bottom half of the inning to cut the Creighton lead to 4-3.  Nick Ciolli doubled to left field to lead off the inning and then advanced to third base on a ground out by Brady Shoemaker.  Luke Fieser was due up next and doubled to left field to score Ciolli for the first run of the inning and Tyler Graham doubled to right center to score Fieser.  Bronco Lafrenz was next and ripped the third consecutive double of the inning to score Graham for the third and final run of the inning.

The score stayed that way until the top of the seventh inning, when the Jays extended the lead to 6-3 on a two-run single into center field off the bat of Nick Becker.  ISU answered with a run of its own in the bottom half of inning to cut the lead to two on a Ryan Strausborger RBI double to left field that scored Joe Meggs.

From there, it was all Creighton as the Jays score a run in the top of the eighth inning and two more in the top of the ninth inning to secure the 9-4 lead and their 12 consecutive win over the Sycamores.  Strausborger finished the game 3-for-4 with the RBI double, while Fieser, Graham and Lafrenz each tallied a hit and RBI in the game for the Sycamores.

Indiana State will be looking to avoid the series sweep on Sunday with a win over Creighton at Sycamore Field.  First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST, with Joe Rodriguez (1-1) taking the mound against Creighton's Jonas Dufek (1-3).
