Baseball falls 3-2 in marathon game at Creighton

Omaha, Neb. - St. Thomas Baseball played one of the longest games in program history Sunday afternoon and came up short with a 3-2 road loss to host Creighton University in 15 innings.
At 4:34 minutes on the clock, it was the longest game in time elapsed over the last 20 seasons -- and likely among the longest contests in program history. The only longer Tommie game in innings played over the last 25 seasons was a 17-inning game in May 2009 in the NCAA Regional, a 5-4 defeat of UW-Stevens Point.
On a 35-degree day when three Tommie pitchers combined to strike out 23 Bluejay batters, both teams missed scoring chances. Creighton broke through in the 15th inning as it loaded the bases with none out on two hits and an intentional walk. Graham Laubscher got a strikeout, but then a hit-by-pitch brought home the winning run.
The Tommies (2-8) have six losses by one or two runs, including two in extra innings. On Sunday they stranded 18 runners over 15 innings after they outhit Creighton 11-7.
In another odd stat for a 15-inning game, neither team committed an error on defense.
Devon Schewe started and allowed just one hit and two walks and two earned runs over 5.2 innings. Laubscher came on to pitch from the ninth inning on, and in 6 1-3 innings he struck out 12 and allowed just one run on five hits and two walks.
Trailing 2-0 through seven innings, the Toms scored one run in the eighth inning on Brigs Richartz' RBI single. Down to their last out in the ninth inning, Sam Kulesa doubled and scored on Max Moris' RBI single.
The Purple left the bases loaded twice. Freshman Ben Vujovich had a triple among his three hits, and Charlie Bartholomew and Kulesa each chipped in two hits.
St. Thomas is scheduled to play a single game Wednesday afternoon in Iowa City against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
