Creighton used a freshman's pitch
ing performance and a 13-hit offensive
attack to defeat Nebraska 10-5 Thurs
day at Buck Beltzer Field.
Bob Kennedy entered the game for
the Bluejays in relief of starter Dave
Driggers after catcher Darren Abrams'
triple in the sixth inning, with Nebraska
leading 4-2. But Kennedy limited them
to three hits and one run the rest of the
way, raising his record to 5-3.
Creighton coach Jim Hendry said he
was pleased with the pitching, espe
cially with conference games against
Wichita State coming up this weekend.
"Kennedy has done a really good job
for us," Hendry said. "He's a competi
tor and usually he's right around the
plate. He comes in there and there's
not much secret. . .he throws a fast
ball, slider and says, 'here it comes,
right over the plate.' "
Nebraska also has weekend games
against a conference opponent (Mis
souri), but their pitching isn't as strong.
They gave up 1 1 walks, seven in the last
three innings when the Bluejays rallied
for eight runs to put the Huskers away.
In the seventh inning, Husker pitcher
Steve Gewecke issued one-out walks to
Gary Selvera and Scott Servais, before
Pat Mascia's single loaded the bases.
Gewecke then struck out Russ Mencz
ywor and reliever Steve Spurgeon came
in.
Spurgeon walked two batters with
two outs, enabling Creighton to tie the
score, 4-4-. After pinch-hitter Bill Meier
was walked intentionally, Dick Dineen
followed with a tie- breaking single.
Creighton scored three more runs off
Spurgeon in the eighth. Masica, Jack
Dahm and Meier all had run-scoring
singles after Chris Gadsden walked to
open the inning.
Gewecke (0-3) picked up the loss in
relief of starter John Kohli. He went 1
23 innings, giving up three runs off
one hit and two walks.
Pat Mascia had the big day at the
plate for the Bluejays. He was 4 for 6,
scored two runs and had three runs
batted in. ,
Hendry said he was pleased with the
split of the teams' two-game series.
Nebraska won 5-3 last night in Omaha.
"Obviously, alter the first game we
hoped we would get a split," he said. "I
think both clubs probably are thinking
'hey, we would like to win both games
from Creighton or both from Nebraska,'
and that's the way it should be. But we damage in his wrist,
are happy with the split." Bunge injured his wrist earlier this
Nebraska coach John Sanders an- season and it was reaggravated last
nounced that Todd Bunge is out for Sunday when he was hit by a pitch in a
three to four weeks and possibly the game against Oklahoma State in Still
rest of the season due to ligament water.

Revenge isn't the most important
thought Lori Richins is dwelling on,
but it's still in the back of her mind
and the minds of everyone on Nebra
ska's softball team.
The reason for these ill feelings is
that the Cornhuskers last season
were denied a chance to participate
in the College World Series last
season in Omaha. The Huskers found
out about their NCAA probation
after they had clinched a spot in the
eight-team field.
"There was revenge on my mind
in the early part of the year because
of what happened to us last year,"
said Richins, who is a team captain.
"But now, it hasn't faded away, but
we're trying to pay back what
happened to us. Everyone has kind
of reorganized their thinking on
. p, I-, . rr-J
' - M
Richins
also know we've got to work for it
this year, and we don't want no one
to take it away from us this year."
