History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n OMAHA, Neb.. \u2014 Junior Erick Dessens<\/a> finished with a team-high two hits and freshman Sam Harry<\/a> extended his hitting streak to six games on Friday evening, but host Creighton scored six unanswered runs to erase an early deficit en route to a 6-2 win in the series opener at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb.<\/p>\n Dessens logged his team-best 11th multi-hit game of the season, posting singles in the third and eighth innings to help pace the offense. Harry added a single in the fourth and was hit by a pitch in the ninth, now taking over the mantle of longest active hitting streak by a Hornet at six.<\/p>\n Junior Jakob Poturnak<\/a>, who entered the day with a 12-game streak, was held to without a hit, while senior Jace Jeremiah<\/a>, who had reached base safely in 19 consecutive games was kept off the basepaths on Friday.<\/p>\n Sacramento State (10-17) was out of the gates first with a pair of runs without the benefit of a hit in the third inning to grab a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n Cameron Sewell<\/a> reached on a dropped third strike then scored three pitches later when Jacob Cortez’s<\/a> sacrifice attempt was thrown away allowing him to reach second and enable Sewell to come all the way around for the 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n Michael Perazzo<\/a> followed with a successful sacrifice attempt to move Cortez to third and was followed by a squeeze from Brett Ott<\/a>, who plated a second run with his bunt to score Cortez.<\/p>\n The Hornets managed two more hits in the inning off the bats of Luis Pimentel-Guerrero<\/a> and Dessens with two outs, but could not manage another run.<\/p>\n Creighton (12-11) wasted little time in answering scoring three runs in the home half of the third on an RBI single and a two-run home run, then slowly pulled away with another run in the fourth and two more in the fifth.<\/p>\n Starter Carson Timothy<\/a> (2-2) suffered the loss, charged with four runs on three hits and striking out a pair over four innings. Colin Hunter<\/a> tried to keep his team close, throwing the final three shutout innings, working around a pair of hits and striking out three.<\/p>\n Game two of the series is scheduled for Noon PT on Saturday (March 28).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
