Slim Lead Escapes at Creighton

OMAHA, Neb. -- A slim BYU 5-4 lead evaporated Monday afternoon into a 6-5 baseball loss at Creighton University.

Alex Wolfe gave BYU a 5-4 lead in the seventh with a one-out solo homer, his second of the season. That was BYU’s only lead in the game after battling back from ties of 2-2 and 4-4.

“We continue to fight and are in positions to make threats, but we have got to make a concerted effort when we score to not led their leadoff guy get on base,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “We need to do a better job holding the lead.”

For BYU, Austin Hall led off with a walk in the second, advanced on Chase Frampton’s single and scored on Dillon Robinson’s single to close the score to 2-1. Stephen Wells got hit by a pitch with two outs and the bases loaded to tie the score at 2-all.

BYU got a pair of defensive plays to end the third inning, the first of which was a snap throw by catcher Wolfe to pickoff a Bluejay at third base.

Creighton countered with a defensive gem of its own in the fourth when Cougar Dane Nielsen was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.

BYU’s Andrew Law got aboard via error as the leadoff in the fifth and Wolfe walked. Both were driven in by Frampton’s two-out single, which tied the score 4-4.

The Cougars, now 9-10 overall, have a Tuesday rematch with Creighton, 16-4.
