After a 17-year absence from postseason play, the 1990 squad ended the drought and began a streak of three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances for the Jays. Creighton earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after finishing third in the MVC with a 13-7 league mark. At the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas, the Jays picked up their first-ever NCAA Tournament win over Clemson in the opener. After a 6-3 loss to eventual CWS qualifier Cal State Fullerton, Creighton came back to defeat Clemson for the second time the next day. The dream of reaching the CWS ended, however, with an 11-9 loss to the host Texas Longhorns. The team’s 48 wins were a school-record at that time, as head coach Jim Hendry directed the squad to the NCAA Tournament in his sixth full season. Hendry would go on to coach only one more season, before making the jump to professional baseball where he currently serves as the general manager for the Chicago Cubs. Individual accolades went hand-in-hand with the team’s success. Junior left-handed pitcher Dan Smith was named the MVC Pitcher of the Year after leading the league with a 14-3 record and a then-schoolrecord 1.96 ERA. Smith recorded 12 complete games, five shutouts and 134 strikeouts as a junior before being selected in the first round (16th pick) of the 1990 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. He received first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA following the season, as well as first-team all-MVC laurels. Joining Smith on the all-MVC first team were junior outfielder John Pivovar and sophomore infielder Scott Stahoviak. Pivovar hit .339 in 61 starts, tallying 11 doubles, four triples, five home runs and 35 RBIs, to go along with a .988 fielding percentage. Stahoviak led the team in nearly every offensive category, including MVC-best totals with a .417 batting average, 95 hits and 25 doubles. His .561 on-base percentage would be a school record until he bettered the mark the following season and his batting average and doubles total still rank among the top-five at CU. Stahoviak was also voted onto the All-Regional Team at first base, after batting 9-for-16 in CU’s four Final Record: 48-22 postseason games. Joining Stahoviak on the team was fellow sophomore Steve Postseason Results Hinton, who was selected for his play in left field. Hinton picked up six hits, scored five Creighton 9, Clemson 6 Austin, Texas runs and drove in four during Regional play.

The 1973 Bluejays became the first team in school history to qualify for postseason play, as they received an at-large bid to the District Five Playoffs held in Tulsa, Okla. With a total of eight four-team districts, the 1973 NCAA Tournament consisted of 32 teams. There were a total of 216 Division I teams at that time. Led by coach Dave Baker, the Jays picked up regular season wins over Kansas State, Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa State. In the District Five Playoffs, Creighton lost its opening game to Oklahoma, who would advance to the College World Series, and was eliminated by Oral Roberts. Sophomore pitcher Ernie Rongish led Creighton with a 6-3 record as a starter, earning second-team Academic All-America honors. Freshman Gary McCabe led the team with a 1.38 ERA and 64 strikeouts. Junior left-hander Jim Roach appeared in a team-high 13 games. Offensively, senior co-captain Jim Lemon was the team’s most productive player, compiling 42 hits in 142 at-bats for a .296 batting average. The center fielder also tied for the team-lead with nine stolen bases. Senior shortstop Steve Naval, also a co-captain on the 1973 squad, led the team with five home runs and 10 doubles. Sophomore first baseman Ron Thornam paced CU with 23 RBIs.
Introduction
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams 1991 College World Series The shining moment for the Creighton baseball program came during a magical season in 1991, as the Bluejays advanced to the College World Series in its hometown for the first and only time in school history. Making only its third NCAA Tournament appearance, the Jays swept through the West I Regional in Los Angeles, Calif. Creighton defeated Pepperdine, Minnesota, top-seed and host USC and Hawaii in the regional final to advance to the CWS. With the support of its home fans at Rosenblatt Stadium, seventh-seeded Creighton fed off their energy in upsetting second-seeded Clemson in the first round, 8-4. Then in an epic battle against MVC rival Wichita State, the Bluejays suffered a heartbreaking 3-2, 12-inning loss. Junior Steve Bruns, the potential game-tying run, was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the 12th to squash the Jays’ hopes. In an elimination game, Creighton responded to rock Long Beach State, 13-4, to earn one more shot at the Shockers. However, Creighton’s dream season ended shy of the national championship game, as Wichita State defeated the Jays, 11-3, for the Shockers’ eighth win in eight games against CU during the season. The 1991 squad re-wrote the record books, with many marks still standing today, including the 51-win total reached during the season. Creighton finished as the nation’s top offense, hitting a school-record .355 during the year. The Jays also broke and still hold school records in runs (667), hits (904), RBIs (611), doubles (184), triples (60), home runs (107), total bases (1,529) and slugging percentage (.601). Every Creighton regular hit above the .330 mark during the team’s remarkable offensive season. Individually, junior Scott Stahoviak became the program’s first National Player of the Year, earning the award from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Also named the MVC Player of the Year and a first-team All-American, Stahoviak led the Jays with an incredible .449 batting average. He also set school records with 120 hits, 87 runs, 199 total bases and a .600 on-base percentage. On the mound, senior Mike Heathcott turned in a season for the ages, winning a school-record 15 games and logging a CU-best 132 innings of work to earn second-team All-America accolades from Collegiate Baseball. Joining Stahoviak and on the all-MVC first team were junior center fielder Dax Jones and designated hitter Steve Hinton. Jones still holds the Creighton single-season record with 11 triples, while Hinton is the record-holder with 278 at-bats and 90 RBIs. Six other Bluejays were named to the second-team all-Valley squad and a total of six players from the 1991 team went on to play in the major leagues: Stahoviak, Jones, Heathcott, sophomore Chad McConnell and freshmen Alan Benes and Kimera Bartee. Head coach Jim Hendry left the program following the season to take a position with the expansion Florida Marlins.

Creighton finished Final Record: 38-25 third in the MVC regular season standings behind Wichita State and Missouri State with an 18-13 record, but earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after making the finals of the MVC Tournament. Losses to host Notre Dame and Michigan at the South Bend Regional ended the Jays’ season at 38-25, an 11-win improvement from 1998. Creighton was led by do-it-all senior transfer Peyton Lewis, who used his final year of eligibility after transferring from NAIA Midland Lutheran College. He was named the MVC Pitcher and Newcomer of the Year after posting a 10-1 record on the mound with a 3.30 ERA in 17 appearances, striking out 114 batters in 103.2 innings of work. Lewis was also very formidable with the bat, hitting .339 with an eye-popping 41 extra base hits on 18 doubles, four triples and 19 home runs. He earned first-team all-MVC laurels as a pitcher and second-team honors as a utility player. He was also voted an NCBWA Second-Team All-American. Leading the way offensively was senior third baseman Ryan Gripp, who led the team with a .395 batting average and 78 hits, 92 runs, 84 RBIs, 24 doubles and 24 home runs to earn first-team All-America honors from the ABCA. Gripp and Peyton combined for 89 extra base hits, 42 doubles and 43 homers, the top two single-season home run totals in school history. The team had six starters hit above the .330 mark and out-scored its opponents 503-376. Gripp and Lewis were named first-team all-region and all-MVC performers, with second-team all-conference honors going to junior second baseman Vince Pietro and freshman relief pitcher Scott Yahraus. Pietro set a MVC and school record with 22 sacrifice bunts, a mark that still stands today. Yahraus made 11 saves in a then-school-record 32 appearances to earn Freshman All-America status. Sophomore first baseman Dan Lawler was named a third-team Academic All-American, freshman Scott Allen was named to the South Bend All-Regional team and Gripp, Lewis and junior Troy Carley were MVC All-Tournament team members.

Austin, Texas qualifying for its third consecutive May 24, 1992 NCAA Tournament. Despite losing Final Record: 41-19-1 eight regulars from the 1991 College World Series team and under new leadership with first-year head coach Todd Wenberg, the Jays exceeded the expectations of many. Creighton finished second behind nemesis Wichita State in the MVC standings and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas. After defeating the University of Texas-Arlington in their regional opener, the Jays lost two close games to Long Beach State and Virginia Commonwealth to end hopes of a second straight trip to Rosenblatt Stadium and the CWS. The Bluejays swept the player of the year awards in the conference, as junior right fielder Chad McConnell was named the MVC Player of the Year while sophomore right-hander Alan Benes was tabbed the MVC Pitcher of the Year. McConnell also captured first-team All-America honors as he batted .400 with 14 home runs and an MVC-best 73 RBIs. He went on to play on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team and was drafted in the first round of the 1992 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. Benes finished the season 11-3 with nine complete games, 110 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA. He would go on to play seven major league seasons, six for the St. Louis Cardinals, and now works in the team’s front office. Joining McConnell and Benes on the all-MVC first team was senior designated hitter Bob Langer. Langer remains third on CU’s career doubles list, with 61. Catcher Brian Davidson, utilityman Kimera Bartee and outfielder Rick Freehling earned second-team All-MVC honors. Curiously missing from MVC postseason recognition were pitchers Brian O’Brien and Rick Heiserman. O’Brien, a sophomore left-handed middle reliever, finished 10-1 to lead the MVC in winning percentage at .909. Heiserman, a freshman right-handed reliever, tied for the MVC lead with future major leaguer Darren Dreifort of Wichita State with 12 saves. Heiserman did land on Collegiate Baseball’s Freshman All-American team. A total of 14 players from the 1992 team went on to play professionally, including Bartee, Benes, McConnell and Heiserman, who went on to play in the Major Leagues.

The team spent several weeks ranked in the top-25 and peaked at No. 15. Despite a 16-14 finish to the regular season and a 1-2 showing at the MVC Tournament, Creighton earned an at-large bid to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament. The season ended with two close losses to Miami (Ohio) and eventual College World Series qualifier Texas at the Tempe Regional, concluding with a 38-23 record. Among the bright spots of the season were 15 wins against NCAA Tournament teams in the first 25 games, a 4-1 record against MVC champ Wichita State and a crowd of 15,436 fans for the Nebraska game at Rosenblatt Stadium, the fourth-largest in NCAA history at the time. Creighton was led by senior utility man Vince Pietro and sophomore leadoff hitter Chris Hinrichs, the team’s two first-team all-MVC picks. Both starters in all 61 games, Pietro hit .333 with a team-best 80 hits while Hinrichs posted team-best totals with 20 doubles, 55 runs and 20 stolen bases. Junior outfielder Eric Brown led the squad with 12 home runs, while senior infielder Ken Sarna compiled 19 doubles and 11 home runs. Sophomore third baseman Scott Allen had a team-leading seven triples to highlight a very balanced offense. On the mound, the Jays were led by junior ace Dan Gooris, who finished 7-3 with 93 strikeouts in 17 starts, logging a team-high 114.2 innings. The left-hander was an eighth-round choice of the Cincinnati Reds following the season in the 2000 MLB Draft. In the bullpen, Steve Neneman accumulated a 7-1 record to earn secondteam all-MVC laurels. Senior reliever Chris Ringleb matched the school record with 12 saves in a team-high 33 appearances. For the second straight season, junior first baseman Dan Lawler earned third-team Academic All-America accolades.

The 2005 Bluejays won the first MVC regular season championship in school history and the team’s 48 victories were second-most all-time at CU. After losing in the MVC Tournament title game, the Bluejays received an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament and defeated 17th-ranked North Carolina State, 8-3, in the Lincoln Regional opener. After a loss to No. 3 Nebraska, CU defeated the Wolfpack again in an elimination game, 11-9. Despite winning 2-of-3 during the regular season, the Jays could not overcome the Huskers, falling again to the eventual CWS participant, 10-2 in the regional championship. The remarkable turnaround executed by Servais earned CU’s head man MVC Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season. The team’s 48-17 finish was largely due to the team’s fundamentally sound approach, as Creighton led the country in double plays, with 85, and were in the top-20 nationally in fielding percentage. The bullpen was masterful, posting a 27-3 record and a 3.72 ERA. When holding a lead after seven innings, CU was 33-0. Sophomore left-hander Scott Reese was a major reason for the bullpen’s success, as he finished 12-0 in a then-school-record 37 appearances to earn third-team All-America honors from the NCBWA. Senior closer Brandon Bird was nearly automatic, converting on 11 save opportunities to join Reese on the all-MVC first team. Senior second baseman Tony Roth and DH Zach Daeges gave Creighton four members on the allMVC first team. Roth set a school record with a 28-game hitting streak during the season and finished with 20 doubles and team-best 12 stolen bases. Daeges led the team with a .350 batting average and 61 RBIs, also earning third team Academic All-America honors. Seniors Dan Norquist (first base) and Brad Dutton (shortstop) brought home second-team all-MVC plaudits. Creighton finished the season ranked 28th by Collegiate Baseball.

In its eighth NCAA appearance in school history, the Bluejays fell in the opener to Oklahoma State, but rebounded to score a tournament-high 21 runs in a win over Albany. However, the Jays ran into future first-round MLB draft pick Nick Schmidt of Arkansas and the Razorbacks ended CU’s season at 45-16 overall. Built around sound fundamentals and unselfishness, the 2007 squad set school records for sacrifice bunts (93) and times hit by pitch (116). CU’s pitching staff was remarkable, as three hurlers finished with sub-3.00 ERAs and four earned All-America recognition. Starting pitcher Ben Mancuso was named the MVC Pitcher of the Year and a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball after going 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA. Ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte set school records with his 1.88 ERA and 38 appearances, earning All-America status from four national publications. He was also named the MVC Tournament MVP after allowing only one run in 12 innings. Senior closer Andy Masten was named the MVC Newcomer of the Year and a second-team All-American by the NCBWA after recording a school-record 16 saves. Midweek starter Casey Schmidt was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball after finishing 6-1 with a 3.12 ERA. Sophomore first baseman Darin Ruf was named the Joe Carter MVC Player of the Year as he led the Bluejays in 10 different offensive categories. He was also rewarded for his great defensive play, earning a Rawlings Gold Glove as the nation’s best-fielding first baseman. Head coach Ed Servais was again named the MVC Coach of the Year, the third time in his first four seasons as head man. Redshirt freshman Robbie Knight set an NCAA record after being hit by 35 pitches.
Introduction
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams 2007 Fayetteville (Ark.) Regional
Bluejay Baseball All-Americans The Creighton baseball program has produced 14 All-Americans in its proud history, including three in 2007 as the Bluejays made their eighth NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Four players have earned first-team All-America status in the program’s history and in 1991, Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year after leading the Jays to their only appearance in the College World Series. The school’s first All-American was catcher Scott Servais in 1988. He was a third-team selection by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. He was considered one of the top defensive catchers in the college game and went on to play for the United States in the 1988 PanAm games. Servais enjoyed an 11-year major league career with four different teams. Creighton’s most successful three-year period in school history from 1990 to 1992 came with plenty of individual recognition nationally. In 1990, Dan Smith was honored as a first-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Baseball America magazine after leading Creighton to its first NCAA Regional appearance since 1973. The following season, third baseman Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year by the ABCA and also earned first-team All-America honors from both the ABCA and Baseball America after leading the Bluejays to the 1991 College World Series by batting .449 (120-267) with 74 RBIs. Stahoviak was also named the MVC Player of the Year as a junior and went on to play five seasons in the Major Leagues for the Minnesota Twins. Joining Servais as an All-American on the 1991 team was senior starting pitcher Mike Heathcott. He won a school-record 15 games to earn second-team All-America status from Collegiate Baseball, logging a CU-record 132 innings. In 1992, outfielder Chad McConnell was a consensus first-team All-American after leading Creighton its third consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, marking the third straight season the Jays had a first-team All-American. Third baseman Ryan Gripp became the fourth player to earn first-team All-America status in the 1990s, as he garnered the honor from the ABCA in 1999. Also a Baseball America Second-Team All-American, he led the Jays to the South Bend (Ind.) Regional, CU’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 1992.
Catcher Scott Servais (1986-88) became Creighton’s first All-American in 1988, as a third-team pick by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball.
Pitcher Dan Smith (1988-90) earned first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA in 1990 after going 14-3 with a 1.96 ERA.
Mike Heathcott (1988-91) achieved second-team All-America status from Collegiate Baseball in 1991 after setting school records with 15 wins and 132 IP.
Chad McConnell (1990-92) was a consensus first-team All-American in 1992 after leading CU to its third straight NCAA Regional with 14 home runs and 73 RBIs.

After a 17-year absence from postseason play, the 1990 squad ended the drought and began a streak of three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances for the Jays. Creighton earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after finishing third in the MVC with a 13-7 league mark. At the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas, the Jays picked up their first-ever NCAA Tournament win over Clemson in the opener. After a 6-3 loss to eventual CWS qualifier Cal State Fullerton, Creighton came back to defeat Clemson for the second time the next day. The dream of reaching the CWS ended, however, with an 11-9 loss to the host Texas Longhorns. The team’s 48 wins were a school-record at that time, as head coach Jim Hendry directed the squad to the NCAA Tournament in his sixth full season. Hendry would go on to coach only one more season, before making the jump to professional baseball where he currently serves as the general manager for the Chicago Cubs. Individual accolades went hand-in-hand with the team’s success. Junior left-handed pitcher Dan Smith was named the MVC Pitcher of the Year after leading the league with a 14-3 record and a then-schoolrecord 1.96 ERA. Smith recorded 12 complete games, five shutouts and 134 strikeouts as a junior before being selected in the first round (16th pick) of the 1990 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. He received first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA following the season, as well as first-team all-MVC laurels. Joining Smith on the all-MVC first team were junior outfielder John Pivovar and sophomore infielder Scott Stahoviak. Pivovar hit .339 in 61 starts, tallying 11 doubles, four triples, five home runs and 35 RBIs, to go along with a .988 fielding percentage. Stahoviak led the team in nearly every offensive category, including MVC-best totals with a .417 batting average, 95 hits and 25 doubles. His .561 on-base percentage would be a school record until he bettered the mark the following season and his batting average and doubles total still rank among the top-five at CU. Stahoviak was also voted onto the All-Regional Team at first base, after batting 9-for-16 in CU’s four Final Record: 48-22 postseason games. Joining Stahoviak on the team was fellow sophomore Steve Postseason Results Hinton, who was selected for his play in left field. Hinton picked up six hits, scored five Creighton 9, Clemson 6 Austin, Texas runs and drove in four during Regional play.

The 1973 Bluejays became the first team in school history to qualify for postseason play, as they received an at-large bid to the District Five Playoffs held in Tulsa, Okla. With a total of eight four-team districts, the 1973 NCAA Tournament consisted of 32 teams. There were a total of 216 Division I teams at that time. Led by coach Dave Baker, the Jays picked up regular season wins over Kansas State, Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa State. In the District Five Playoffs, Creighton lost its opening game to Oklahoma, who would advance to the College World Series, and was eliminated by Oral Roberts. Sophomore pitcher Ernie Rongish led Creighton with a 6-3 record as a starter, earning second-team Academic All-America honors. Freshman Gary McCabe led the team with a 1.38 ERA and 64 strikeouts. Junior left-hander Jim Roach appeared in a team-high 13 games. Offensively, senior co-captain Jim Lemon was the team’s most productive player, compiling 42 hits in 142 at-bats for a .296 batting average. The center fielder also tied for the team-lead with nine stolen bases. Senior shortstop Steve Naval, also a co-captain on the 1973 squad, led the team with five home runs and 10 doubles. Sophomore first baseman Ron Thornam paced CU with 23 RBIs.
Introduction
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams 1991 College World Series The shining moment for the Creighton baseball program came during a magical season in 1991, as the Bluejays advanced to the College World Series in its hometown for the first and only time in school history. Making only its third NCAA Tournament appearance, the Jays swept through the West I Regional in Los Angeles, Calif. Creighton defeated Pepperdine, Minnesota, top-seed and host USC and Hawaii in the regional final to advance to the CWS. With the support of its home fans at Rosenblatt Stadium, seventh-seeded Creighton fed off their energy in upsetting second-seeded Clemson in the first round, 8-4. Then in an epic battle against MVC rival Wichita State, the Bluejays suffered a heartbreaking 3-2, 12-inning loss. Junior Steve Bruns, the potential game-tying run, was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the 12th to squash the Jays’ hopes. In an elimination game, Creighton responded to rock Long Beach State, 13-4, to earn one more shot at the Shockers. However, Creighton’s dream season ended shy of the national championship game, as Wichita State defeated the Jays, 11-3, for the Shockers’ eighth win in eight games against CU during the season. The 1991 squad re-wrote the record books, with many marks still standing today, including the 51-win total reached during the season. Creighton finished as the nation’s top offense, hitting a school-record .355 during the year. The Jays also broke and still hold school records in runs (667), hits (904), RBIs (611), doubles (184), triples (60), home runs (107), total bases (1,529) and slugging percentage (.601). Every Creighton regular hit above the .330 mark during the team’s remarkable offensive season. Individually, junior Scott Stahoviak became the program’s first National Player of the Year, earning the award from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Also named the MVC Player of the Year and a first-team All-American, Stahoviak led the Jays with an incredible .449 batting average. He also set school records with 120 hits, 87 runs, 199 total bases and a .600 on-base percentage. On the mound, senior Mike Heathcott turned in a season for the ages, winning a school-record 15 games and logging a CU-best 132 innings of work to earn second-team All-America accolades from Collegiate Baseball. Joining Stahoviak and on the all-MVC first team were junior center fielder Dax Jones and designated hitter Steve Hinton. Jones still holds the Creighton single-season record with 11 triples, while Hinton is the record-holder with 278 at-bats and 90 RBIs. Six other Bluejays were named to the second-team all-Valley squad and a total of six players from the 1991 team went on to play in the major leagues: Stahoviak, Jones, Heathcott, sophomore Chad McConnell and freshmen Alan Benes and Kimera Bartee. Head coach Jim Hendry left the program following the season to take a position with the expansion Florida Marlins.

Michigan 13, Creighton 5 South Bend, Ind. decade in 1999 under the direc- May 29, 1999 tion of MVC Coach of the Year Jack Dahm. Creighton finished Final Record: 38-25 third in the MVC regular season standings behind Wichita State and Missouri State with an 18-13 record, but earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after making the finals of the MVC Tournament. Losses to host Notre Dame and Michigan at the South Bend Regional ended the Jays’ season at 38-25, an 11-win improvement from 1998. Creighton was led by do-it-all senior transfer Peyton Lewis, who used his final year of eligibility after transferring from NAIA Midland Lutheran College. He was named the MVC Pitcher and Newcomer of the Year after posting a 10-1 record on the mound with a 3.30 ERA in 17 appearances, striking out 114 batters in 103.2 innings of work. Lewis was also very formidable with the bat, hitting .339 with an eye-popping 41 extra base hits on 18 doubles, four triples and 19 home runs. He earned first-team all-MVC laurels as a pitcher and second-team honors as a utility player. He was also voted an NCBWA Second-Team All-American. Leading the way offensively was senior third baseman Ryan Gripp, who led the team with a .395 batting average and 78 hits, 92 runs, 84 RBIs, 24 doubles and 24 home runs to earn first-team All-America honors from the ABCA. Gripp and Peyton combined for 89 extra base hits, 42 doubles and 43 homers, the top two single-season home run totals in school history. The team had six starters hit above the .330 mark and out-scored its opponents 503-376. Gripp and Lewis were named first-team all-region and all-MVC performers, with second-team all-conference honors going to junior second baseman Vince Pietro and freshman relief pitcher Scott Yahraus. Pietro set a MVC and school record with 22 sacrifice bunts, a mark that still stands today. Yahraus made 11 saves in a then-school-record 32 appearances to earn Freshman All-America status. Sophomore first baseman Dan Lawler was named a third-team Academic All-American, freshman Scott Allen was named to the South Bend All-Regional team and Gripp, Lewis and junior Troy Carley were MVC All-Tournament team members.

The 1992 team capped the Postseason Results best three-year run in program May 22, 1992 Creighton 11, UT-Arlington 6 Austin, Texas Long Beach St. 5, Creighton 2 Austin, Texas history, winning 41 games and May 23, 1992 VCU 5, Creighton 4 (11 inn.) Austin, Texas qualifying for its third consecutive May 24, 1992 NCAA Tournament. Despite losing Final Record: 41-19-1 eight regulars from the 1991 College World Series team and under new leadership with first-year head coach Todd Wenberg, the Jays exceeded the expectations of many. Creighton finished second behind nemesis Wichita State in the MVC standings and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas. After defeating the University of Texas-Arlington in their regional opener, the Jays lost two close games to Long Beach State and Virginia Commonwealth to end hopes of a second straight trip to Rosenblatt Stadium and the CWS. The Bluejays swept the player of the year awards in the conference, as junior right fielder Chad McConnell was named the MVC Player of the Year while sophomore right-hander Alan Benes was tabbed the MVC Pitcher of the Year. McConnell also captured first-team All-America honors as he batted .400 with 14 home runs and an MVC-best 73 RBIs. He went on to play on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team and was drafted in the first round of the 1992 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. Benes finished the season 11-3 with nine complete games, 110 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA. He would go on to play seven major league seasons, six for the St. Louis Cardinals, and now works in the team’s front office. Joining McConnell and Benes on the all-MVC first team was senior designated hitter Bob Langer. Langer remains third on CU’s career doubles list, with 61. Catcher Brian Davidson, utilityman Kimera Bartee and outfielder Rick Freehling earned second-team All-MVC honors. Curiously missing from MVC postseason recognition were pitchers Brian O’Brien and Rick Heiserman.

Bluejay Baseball Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams 2000 Tempe (Ariz.) Regional Postseason Results The 2000 Bluejays came Texas 5, Creighton 4 Tempe, Ariz. out of the gate as one of the May 26, 2000 May 27, 2000 Miami (OH) 6, Creighton 3 Tempe, Ariz. hottest teams in college baseball, winning 15 of their first 16 games and were a CU-best Final Record: 38-23 21-3 after 24 contests. The team spent several weeks ranked in the top-25 and peaked at No. 15. Despite a 16-14 finish to the regular season and a 1-2 showing at the MVC Tournament, Creighton earned an at-large bid to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament. The season ended with two close losses to Miami (Ohio) and eventual College World Series qualifier Texas at the Tempe Regional, concluding with a 38-23 record. Among the bright spots of the season were 15 wins against NCAA Tournament teams in the first 25 games, a 4-1 record against MVC champ Wichita State and a crowd of 15,436 fans for the Nebraska game at Rosenblatt Stadium, the fourth-largest in NCAA history at the time. Creighton was led by senior utility man Vince Pietro and sophomore leadoff hitter Chris Hinrichs, the team’s two first-team all-MVC picks. Both starters in all 61 games, Pietro hit .333 with a team-best 80 hits while Hinrichs posted team-best totals with 20 doubles, 55 runs and 20 stolen bases. Junior outfielder Eric Brown led the squad with 12 home runs, while senior infielder Ken Sarna compiled 19 doubles and 11 home runs. Sophomore third baseman Scott Allen had a team-leading seven triples to highlight a very balanced offense. On the mound, the Jays were led by junior ace Dan Gooris, who finished 7-3 with 93 strikeouts in 17 starts, logging a team-high 114.2 innings. The left-hander was an eighth-round choice of the Cincinnati Reds following the season in the 2000 MLB Draft. In the bullpen, Steve Neneman accumulated a 7-1 record to earn secondteam all-MVC laurels. Senior reliever Chris Ringleb matched the school record with 12 saves in a team-high 33 appearances. For the second straight season, junior first baseman Dan Lawler earned third-team Academic All-America accolades. He also was voted to the Tempe All-Regional Team, while Gooris was selected to the MVC AllTournament team. Lawler, Pietro and senior outfielder Troy Carley were named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete first team.

The 2005 Bluejays won the first MVC regular season championship in school history and the team’s 48 victories were second-most all-time at CU. After losing in the MVC Tournament title game, the Bluejays received an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament and defeated 17th-ranked North Carolina State, 8-3, in the Lincoln Regional opener. After a loss to No. 3 Nebraska, CU defeated the Wolfpack again in an elimination game, 11-9. Despite winning 2-of-3 during the regular season, the Jays could not overcome the Huskers, falling again to the eventual CWS participant, 10-2 in the regional championship. The remarkable turnaround executed by Servais earned CU’s head man MVC Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season. The team’s 48-17 finish was largely due to the team’s fundamentally sound approach, as Creighton led the country in double plays, with 85, and were in the top-20 nationally in fielding percentage. The bullpen was masterful, posting a 27-3 record and a 3.72 ERA. When holding a lead after seven innings, CU was 33-0. Sophomore left-hander Scott Reese was a major reason for the bullpen’s success, as he finished 12-0 in a then-school-record 37 appearances to earn third-team All-America honors from the NCBWA. Senior closer Brandon Bird was nearly automatic, converting on 11 save opportunities to join Reese on the all-MVC first team. Senior second baseman Tony Roth and DH Zach Daeges gave Creighton four members on the allMVC first team. Roth set a school record with a 28-game hitting streak during the season and finished with 20 doubles and team-best 12 stolen bases. Daeges led the team with a .350 batting average and 61 RBIs, also earning third team Academic All-America honors. Seniors Dan Norquist (first base) and Brad Dutton (shortstop) brought home second-team all-MVC plaudits. Creighton finished the season ranked 28th by Collegiate Baseball.

Introduction
Creighton NCAA Tournament Teams 2007 Fayetteville (Ark.) Regional
Bluejay Baseball All-Americans The Creighton baseball program has produced 14 All-Americans in its proud history, including three in 2007 as the Bluejays made their eighth NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Four players have earned first-team All-America status in the program’s history and in 1991, Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year after leading the Jays to their only appearance in the College World Series. The school’s first All-American was catcher Scott Servais in 1988. He was a third-team selection by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. He was considered one of the top defensive catchers in the college game and went on to play for the United States in the 1988 PanAm games. Servais enjoyed an 11-year major league career with four different teams. Creighton’s most successful three-year period in school history from 1990 to 1992 came with plenty of individual recognition nationally. In 1990, Dan Smith was honored as a first-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Baseball America magazine after leading Creighton to its first NCAA Regional appearance since 1973. The following season, third baseman Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year by the ABCA and also earned first-team All-America honors from both the ABCA and Baseball America after leading the Bluejays to the 1991 College World Series by batting .449 (120-267) with 74 RBIs. Stahoviak was also named the MVC Player of the Year as a junior and went on to play five seasons in the Major Leagues for the Minnesota Twins. Joining Servais as an All-American on the 1991 team was senior starting pitcher Mike Heathcott. He won a school-record 15 games to earn second-team All-America status from Collegiate Baseball, logging a CU-record 132 innings. In 1992, outfielder Chad McConnell was a consensus first-team All-American after leading Creighton its third consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, marking the third straight season the Jays had a first-team All-American. Third baseman Ryan Gripp became the fourth player to earn first-team All-America status in the 1990s, as he garnered the honor from the ABCA in 1999. Also a Baseball America Second-Team All-American, he led the Jays to the South Bend (Ind.) Regional, CU’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 1992.
Catcher Scott Servais (1986-88) became Creighton’s first All-American in 1988, as a third-team pick by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball.
Pitcher Dan Smith (1988-90) earned first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA in 1990 after going 14-3 with a 1.96 ERA.
Mike Heathcott (1988-91) achieved second-team All-America status from Collegiate Baseball in 1991 after setting school records with 15 wins and 132 IP.
Chad McConnell (1990-92) was a consensus first-team All-American in 1992 after leading CU to its third straight NCAA Regional with 14 home runs and 73 RBIs.
Third baseman Ryan Gripp (1997-99) was an ABCA First-Team All-American in 1999 after hitting .395 with 84 RBIs and a school-record 24 home runs.
Pitcher Steve Grasley (2001-04) was picked by the NCBWA as a Third-Team All-American in 2004 after posting a 12-4 record with a 3.00 ERA in 17 starts.
