Creighton Baseball head coach Ed Servais announced the 2021 Bluejay schedule on Wednesday, Feb. 3, highlighted by a 28-game BIG EAST slate.
The 2021 season currently shows a 46-game schedule, with 23 contests slated for TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (TDAPO). Creighton does not have midweek games on the schedule this season, instead playing primarily four-game series over the weekend. The format for the weekend four contests will be single games on Friday and Sunday, with a doubleheader scheduled for Saturdays.
Creighton opens the season in Nashville, Tenn. on Feb. 26 at Lipscomb. The Bluejays remain in Tennessee for a doubleheader with Belmont on Feb. 27, then face Lipscomb on Feb. 28.
The first weekend of March brings Creighton back to Omaha as the Bluejays face UNO in the opening of the Mavericks’ Tal Anderson Field from March 5-7. The following weekend brings South Dakota State to town for the first home series of 2021. The Jackrabbit and Bluejays will play three games from March 12-14.
Creighton heads to Lawrence for a three-game series at Kansas (March 19-21) and currently has the final weekend of the month open, but Servais is hopeful to add another series in the near future. The final non-conference series of the season brings Sacramento State to TDAPO from April 2-4.
BIG EAST action begins with back-to-back home series for the Bluejays as Creighton faces Villanova (April 9-11) and conference newcomer Connecticut (April 16-18). The month closes with a road series at Georgetown (April 23-25).
Creighton returns home to face conference rival St. John’s (April 30-May 2), then plays consecutive road series at Butler (May 7-9) and at Seton Hall (May 14-16). The final series of the regular season is at home against Xavier (May 20-22).
The BIG EAST Baseball Championship remains in Mason, Ohio in 2021, from May 27-30. The format is unchanged as the top four teams travel to Mason.
