Creighton took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first after a leadoff double and then following with a triple.

After the Bluejays (2-2) added another in the second, Chaz Bertolani launched a 2-run shot over the fence for his first homer of the season to tie the game.

In the third frame, Brian Moore led off with a single to right field and after reaching third, he came home on a balk. Two batters later Chris Bashlor lifted a sac fly to left to make it a 4-2 Bison lead.

Ty Jones tacked on another tally in the fourth after a double steal allowed him to cross the dish.

With Lipscomb leading 5-3 in the eighth, the Bluejays managed to squeak across a pair of runs to pull back even.

In the home half of the frame, Maddux Houghton pounded a double down the left field line to start a 2-out rally. He later came home on a wild pitch to give the Bisons a 6-5 advantage. Brian Moore then followed with a double of his own to left to drive in Jones and give the purple and gold some cushion.
