Creighton breezes to 11-4 victory over Kansas in nightcap of Fayetteville Regional
Creighton (42-14) will play No. 1 seed Arkansas on Saturday. Kansas (43-16) plays an elimination game against No. 4 seed North Dakota State to begin the day.
Sailors had a two-run double in the middle of a seven-run sixth inning to help the Bluejays pull away from a 3-3 tie. He drew a bases-loaded walk when Creighton scored twice in the third to grab a 3-2 lead. He hit a two-out solo homer in the seventh for Creighton's final run. Sailors tripled leading off the fifth but was stranded.
Creighton's top three batters in the order — Tate Gillen, Matt Scherrman and Sailors — had three hits apiece and combined to go 9 for 15 with six RBIs and five runs scored.
Ian Koosman (9-4) allowed one run on two hits in four innings of relief to get the win. Dominic Cancellieri started and allowed three runs on four hits in four innings.
Dominic Voegele (7-5) surrendered seven runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings in the loss.
Kansas is playing in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time and first since 2014. The Jayhawks first appearance came in 1993 when they advanced to their only College World Series.
Creighton has played in 12 tournaments with one CWS appearance in 1991.

WATCH: Texans DB Calen Bullock makes must-see interception vs Lions
Calen Bullock could end up recording an interception every game and no one should be shocked. The third-year Houston Texans defensive back has consistently found his hands on the ball during drills against C.J. Stroud at the Methodist Training Center back home, but the only thing that changed on Thursday was the person throwing the ball. During drills against the Detroit Lions, Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff tried to connect on a pass with All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for a touchdown, but Bullock jumped in front of the pass for another takeaway and celebration. Here's a video of the play, courtesy of the team's official social media account: Last season, Bullock finished with a team-leading five interceptions and three pass breakups. He was one of the breakout players who looks to be a foundational piece for the Texans' secondary as the back-to-back AFC South champions look to secure more than a division title this fall. The Texans and Lions face off on Saturday at Ford Field at Noon. After that, the Texans must trim their roster down to 53 ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
