An early deficit doomed Nebraska baseball Tuesday night in Omaha.
The Huskers dropped their third game to Creighton in the month of April, this one 9-5. The last time the Bluejays beat NU three times in a month was March of 1993.
Nebraska is now 27-15 and has lost five straight non-conference games. Creighton is 31-11.
The first inning doomed Big Red, as Creighton’s leadoff man Nolan Sailors hit a home run. That would be the only earned running allowed in the inning, though five more runs did score.
NU strung together nine hits on the day but left 10 on base. Josh Caron posted the only multi-hit day for the Huskers, going 2-for-5 with an RBI.
Nebraska returns home Wednesday to host Kansas State.
