Creighton took two from Indiana State, 5-2 and 7-4, at the CU Sports Complex Sunday afternoon.

In the opener, the Bluejays scored runs in the first and second innings to take a 2-1 lead.

A wind-aided opposite field home run by Vicente Cafaro in the sixth pushed CU’s lead to 3-1. Joe Servais followed with a single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a single by pinch-hitter Elliot Soto to make it 4-1.

Starter Mike Nihsen (4-1) kept the Sycamores in check, working out of jams in the fifth and sixth by inducing inning-ending double plays. Pat Venditte worked 1.1 innings to earn his sixth save of the season.

Creighton rallied twice to come away with a 7-4 win in game two to complete the three-game series sweep. The Bluejays scored three runs in the sixth and added two more in the seventh.

Creighton (33-17) wrapped up Missouri Valley Conference play at 16-8 and ensured no worse than the fourth seed at the upcoming MVC Tournament. Indiana State dropped to 14-32 and 6-15.

Kevin Dooley (1-1) earned his first win with 3.2 scoreless innings of relief. Michael Lam went 3-for-4 with two RBI and finished a home run shy of the cycle.

After getting two hits through the first four innings, the Creighton offense came alive in the fifth. Brett Mieras led off with a triple and came around to score on a double by Lam. Robbie Knight then beat out the throw on a bunt to third base, leaving runners at the corners. Soto then drove home Lam with a sacrifice fly giving CU a 2-1 lead.

Indiana State responded with three runs in the sixth to go up 4-2. Creighton answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame to knock ISU starter Micah Spencer out of the game. T.J. Roemmich led off the rally with a double and Cafaro followed with a double to cut the deficit to 4-3.

After a Servais sacrifice moved Cafaro to third, Mieras evened the score with a single. The Jays then took the lead on a run-scoring triple by Lam.

CU added two insurance runs in the seventh as Roemmich beat out a potential inning-ending double play to extend the frame for Cafaro, who doubled for the second time to leave runners at second and third. Servais then delivered with a bloop single to right center, scoring Roemmich and Cafaro to extend the lead to 7-4.
