Villanova Drops Game One Against Creighton

PLYMOUTH MEETING – Villanova was defeated 14-6 by Creighton
 
As the game began, great defense kept it scoreless through two innings of play. However, in the third Creighton scored one run and it started a streak of sixth straight innings of scoring for the Blue Jays.
 
After being down 11-0 going into the bottom of the seventh, Villanova got on the board.  Two home runs and an RBI single in the inning cut the lead to 11-5, but still was not enough for the Wildcats to catch up. Creighton added three more and Villanova one more in the eighth to reach our final score of 14-6.
