No. 11 UConn baseball claims Big East regular-season crown after win over Creighton

UConn baseball, which had clinched the Big East regular season crown just minutes before with a Xavier loss, put an exclamation point on the regular season with a 10-0 win over Creighton on Saturday, in a game that went eight innings due to the mercy rule.

It was a true bullpen day for the Huskies, as four pitchers took the mound. Devin Kirby earned the win with 2 13 frames and was the only guy to give up a hit. Brady Afthim pitched two innings and was the only one to not permit a baserunner.
