Bottom 6th, Shaw gives up a leadoff double, the runner moves to 3B on a fly out for the 1st out. A run scores on a sac fly for the 2nd out. 4-2 Creighton going to the next inning.
 
Top 7th, leadoff singles by Rispoli and Shpur. With 2 outs Biller gets intentionally walked which loads the bases. No runs come in. 4-2 Creighton.
 
I still think we’ll make the tournament, but it will be a short visit.

Unconscionably bad hitting. They have really gotten exposed against quality pitching.
 
Bottom 7th, Shaw gives up a leadoff double followed by a bunt single that puts runners on the corners. A ground out for the 1st out puts 2 runners in scoring position. An intentional walk loads the bases, and a run scores on a sac fly for the 2nd out that puts runners on the corners. 5-2 Creighton going to the next inning.
 
Top 8th, Padilla gets a 1 out single, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 5-2 Creighton.

Bottom 8th, after Mayer gets the 1st batter out Mayer comes out of the game. Hamberger takes the mound, he will be facing a lefty batter.

Hamberger gives up a double to the 1st batter he faces. Hamberger comes out of the game, Alejandro takes the mound.
 
One thing I've noticed over the years I've been following UConn baseball is that the coaching staff likes to have lefty pitchers facing lefty batters, and that UConn batting orders rarely have lefty batters hitting back to back to each other, usually there is at least one righty batter in between any lefty batters in the lineup.

After a fly out for the 2nd out on which the runner advances to 3B, Alejandro gives up a walk putting runners on the corners. The runner on 1B steals 2B. A double drives in 2 runs, 7-2 Creighton going to the next inning.

Top 9th, Shpur leads off with a single, Daniels follows with a no out 2 run homer, 7-4 Creighton.

With no out, Minick reaches 2B due to an error. Minick is left on base, and Creighton wins 7-4 to take the Big East Tourney.

Glad Daniels got that HR to close out his game on positive note. Could be helpful if team makes tourney.

Penders seemed to be aiming for that as well with his pitching choices in B8.

UConn not scoring with bases loaded three times was a big reason they lost.

I’m still hopeful they play on.
 
I think anything’s possible for a deep run. They don’t control the run game/small ball well & they’re not all that good defensively. Last year, that was the magic in the OU regional. With the pitching what it is, that is a source of doubt.
