Under the guidance of head coach Ed Servais, Creighton has become known for strong pitching and impeccable defense. That combination has led the Bluejays to three consecutive appearances in the BIG EAST Tournament championship game.

To return to the championship game and win it, Servais will need to teach the importance of defense to virtually an entire new group as the only returning starter is sophomore Michael Emodi.

Servais, however, seemed ready for the challenge.

“We have a lot of new positional players, but we are excited about the possibilities with this new group.”

For the second time in three seasons, the Bluejays will play host to the BIG EAST Tournament at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha this May.

Senior David Gerber Rotation While the defense will feature a host of new faces, Creighton Bullpen returns its entire weekend rotation. The bullpen also brings a pair of experienced arms in senior David Gerber and junior setup man, Ethan DeCaster. Gerber Staff ace Rollie Lacy is back for his fourth season. Lacy closed was dominant last season, collecting 11 saves. Gerber appeared in the 2016 season with a 9-2 record, posting a 3.15 ERA in 91.1 32 of Creighton’s 55 contests, compiling a 1.50 ERA in 36 . innings. DeCaster, meanwhile, saw action in 26 games.

Making the Home of the CWS Our Own After more than 20 years of calling the CU Sports Complex home, the Creighton baseball team moved into a new facility in 2011. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, located just a few blocks east of the CU Sports Complex, serves as the permanent home of the Creighton baseball team.

The $128 million facility holds more than 24,000 spec- tators. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which sits just one block northwest of the home of Creighton men’s basketball - CenturyLink Center Omaha - also serves as the home for the NCAA Division I Men’s College .

Designed with the fans in mind, TD Ameritrade Park Omaha has a 360-degee continuous walkway on the concourse level, with both permanent and portable concession stands lining the concourse. There are 36 inches of leg room between seats, turning the stadium into a bowl while eliminating the stacking effect that happens in many stadiums today. Club seating for 2,500 “The cool thing about it [the stadium] is that it’s completely members and access to three, full-service food stations sacred to college baseball.” - Vanderbilt Head Coach draws many groups and parties to the facility. The entire facility is accessible to people with disabilities and seating inside the stadium meets ADA standards.

Both the media and the athletes who make their way to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha discover it is second to none. The playing surface includes a top-of-the-line draining system as well as heating features to ensure play in any type of Nebraska weather. The dirt base paths and grass infield and outfield gives the ball a natural bounce. Full-size dugouts down each line, complete with media pits, allow enough space for athletes and media to work side by side. Tunnels take players to covered batting cages and warm-up tunnels, followed by full locker rooms, complete with coaches suites and training rooms just off the showers that provide the best amenities for all involved.

A media interview room as well as a work room under the stadium provides working media a location to quickly generate and send out information through cables and internet functions built into the stadium. A three-tier working press box allows for plenty of seating come tournament time, with additional work cubicles located just behind the main seating. Five individual radio booths as well as the center television bay - complete with fully opening windows - gives all media members access to the angle they wish to cover for the game.

The Bluejays broke in the new facility on April 19, 2011, with a game against in-state rival Nebraska. Although it was a blustery night, more than 22,000 fans braved the weather to come out and get the first views at Omaha’s newest attraction. The Bluejays averaged nearly 7,200 fans for the remainder of the 2011 home schedule, finishing eighth in the NCAA in overall home attendance. The numbers didn’t disappoint once the came to town, as 321,684 fans came through the turnstiles of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, averaging just under 23,000 fans per session.

2017 Creighton Baseball Media Guide • Page 7 Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center

The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center, a 50,000-square-foot build- ing offering a multipurpose field house with synthetic turf for athletic team practices and intramural sports, was officially opened on Oct. 23, 2012. In addition to the indoor practice area, the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center offers a suspended two-lane running track and a fitness level furnished with cardio, circuit-training and free-weight equipment for all Creighton students, faculty and staff.

Named for Creighton Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen, the facility was made possible by generous gifts from Ruth and Bill Scott as well as several other donors. The Scotts have been long-time sup- porters and friends of Creighton University. In 1995 they established a scholarship for international students who enrolled in the School of Medicine. The Nebraska natives have deep roots in the Omaha community and have donated generously to more than 100 different organizations.

Exercise is part of Bill Scott’s daily routine. “Several years ago I was severely injured in a fall. This experience and my subsequent recov- Creighton Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen (middle) with Bill and ery reinforced the importance of health and wellness activities for Ruth Scott at the opening of the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center everyone, no matter what your age. This convenient facility will be a visible reminder, for all students, faculty and staff, of the investment Creighton makes in the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. And I can’t think of a finer person than Bruce Rasmussen to honor with this legacy,” said Bill Scott.

Rasmussen has been with Creighton for 37 years, the last 23 years as athletic director. During his tenure, Creighton’s athletic teams have risen to national prominence both on and off the field. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletic director, Creighton has won 34 regular-season and 39 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 78 postseason appearances.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institu- tions is reflected in the success Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s soccer and men’s and wom- en’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success.

Bluejay student-athletes consistently own collective GPAs of 3.25 or above. Rasmussen was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen played a vital role in seeing that Creighton and the city of Omaha remain as hosts of the College World Series.

Final Record: 25-16 The 1973 Bluejays became the first team in school history to qualify for Postseason Results postseason play, as they received an at-large bid to the District Five Play- May 28, 1973 Oklahoma 8, Creighton 1 Tulsa, Okla. offs held in Tulsa, Okla. With a total of eight four-team districts, the 1973 May 29, 1973 Oral Roberts 11, Creighton 4 Tulsa, Okla. NCAA Tournament consisted of 32 teams. There were a total of 216 Division I teams at that time.

1973 June Draft Led by coach Dave Baker, the Bluejays picked up regular-season wins over 39th Rd. (715) Jim Lemon, 2B Kansas State, Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa State. In the District Five Play- offs, 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 start- er, earning second-team Academic All-America honors. Freshman Gary Mc- Cabe 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 cen- terfielder also tied for the team-lead with nine stolen bases and would be drafted in the 39th round of the June 1973 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. 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 Creighton with 23 RBI.

(1172) Ryan Martindale, OF St. Louis Cardinals al in Austin, Texas, the Blue- 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 where he currently serves as a special assistant scout for the New York Yankees.

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-school-record 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 RBI, 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 Creighton.

Stahoviak was also voted onto the All-Regional Team at first base, after batting 9-for-16 in Creighton’s four postseason games. Joining Stahoviak on the team was fellow sophomore Steve Hinton, who was selected for his play in left field. Hinton picked up six hits, scored five runs and drove in four during Regional play.

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 Creighton-best 132 innings of work to earn second-team All-America accolades from Collegiate Baseball. Joining Stahoviak and Heathcott on the All-MVC First Team were junior centerfielder 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 RBI.

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 McCo- nnell 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.

He would go on to play eight 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 Creighton’s career doubles list, with 61. Catcher Brian Davidson, utility man Kimera Bartee and outfielder Rick Freehling earned Second Team All-MVC honors.

(1391) Eric Wordekemper, RHP New York Yankees The 2005 Bluejays won the first MVC regular season championship and its 48 victories were second all-time at Creighton. After losing in the MVC Tournament title game, Creighton 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, Creighton de- Academic All-American Zach Daeges feated the Wolfpack again in an elimination game, 11-9. Despite winning 2-of-3 during the regular season, the Bluejays could not overcome the Huskers, falling to the eventual CWS participant, 10-2 in the regional championship.

The remarkable turnaround executed by Servais earned Creighton’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 (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, Creighton was 33-0. Sophomore left-hander Scott Reese 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 All- MVC First Team. Roth set a school record with a 28-game 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 RBI, also earning third team Academic All-America honors. Seniors Dan Norquist (first base) and Brad Dutton (shortstop) brought home Second Team All-MVC plaudits.

With Creighton serving as host, the CWS has welcomed more than 300,000 fans in each of the last 11 years.

Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award. In both 2010 and 2015, Rasmussen was honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf, women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 20 straight semesters entering the fall of 2016.

Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2015 Jamboree generated more than $550,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball histo- ry (196-147), that culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season. The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994. A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan, David, John, Katie and Grace.

The goal of the program is to reduce the chance of injury and to help all athletes reach their full potential.

To help maximize athletic performance, each Creighton student-athlete works with the strength and conditioning staff, the sports med- icine staff, a certified nutritionist and a sports psychologist, giving Creighton student-athletes all the resources they need to succeed at the highest level.

Athletic Training The Creighton University Athletic Training staff works in cooperation with and under the supervision of physicians to provide the best possible care for student-athletes.
