The Sycamores are on their way to winning their third straight series...but the first game of the Creighton series wasn't pretty right out of the chute! But Bacus ended up pitching very well, once he found his pitches.
Dakota Bacus gets the win (5-2), but had to work hard to get it. He went eight innings, giving up three runs on seven hits and one walk. Most of those hits (four) were in the first inning when Creighton plated two runs and threw a wild pitch. While hitting a couple of other bumps, he smoothed out starting in the fifth inning when he retired 12 in a row. He threw 120 pitches on the night. Tyler Browning came on for the ninth. Browning had ten saves in 2010 and sat out 2011 with a medical redshirt after arm surgery. Browning walked the first batter. The next batter flied out to left. The third batter walked to put runners at first and second. Chris Machado replaced Browning with one out and two on. The first batter he faced lined to shortstop and into a doubleplay. Machado gets the save, his second!
Offensively, The Sycamores took advantage of walks and hit batter...combined with timely hitting to get their five runs. So, they had five runs on just eight hits...but they were hit three times and got five walks. Four of those free passes scored for ISU. Kraemer had two doubles (ninth of year) on the night...scoring twice and plating two RBI!
