There is no place like home away from home.

The Creighton baseball team finished off its brief stop at the CU Sports Complex with a dominating double-header sweep last Saturday over the University of North Dakota. Creighton won the opening contest 12-3 and the second game 16-3.

The Bluejays were temporarily displaced from their usual nest because of the NCAA men’s Division I basketball championship games being hosted in Omaha. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha was deemed too close to the CenturyLink Center for both venues to be having games at the same time.

The change of scenery did not seem to bother Creighton, as they scored 28 runs in what is the only doubleheader the Bluejays have scheduled for the season. Creighton improved its record to 11-7 after the pair of victories.

Between the two games, many Jays had career days. Both senior infielder Nick Judkins and senior catcher Anthony Bemboom had five hits on the day. Sophomore outfielder Mike Gerber highlighted his day with a grand slam and senior infielder Gabriel Thibodeaux added two round-trippers.

Creighton got off to a hot start, scoring five runs in the first inning of the day. Junior pitcher Andrew Urban kept North Dakota in check, only allowing two runs over five innings of work. The Fighting Sioux did not help their own cause, with three North Dakota errors

leading to Bluejay runs in the sixth and seventh innings.

Game two saw Creighton score in every inning, a feat rarely accomplished in baseball. The Bluejays hit four home runs in this game alone.

The big inning for Creighton came in the fifth, with the Bluejays scoring five runs in the frame. The scoring was capped off with a three run blast from Thibodeaux.

Junior pitcher Nick Musec picked up his third win of the season. The hurler threw for five innings while only allowing three runs. Bemboom hit a perfect 4-4 with two RBI in the second game.

Creighton opens a three game set Friday in Springfield, Mo. against Missouri State University.
