OMAHA, Neb. — Two North Dakota State pitchers combined for a no-hitter today, but lost 2-0 to Creighton thanks to walks and a hit batter in a seven-inning game.

Chad Berg walked four of the first six batters of the game, allowing Creighton to score its first run, then hit Joe Servais with a pitch to make the score 2-0.

Berg walked the first batter of the next inning before he was replaced by Chris Paterson.

The Bluejays (21-8) loaded the bases with walks again in the third inning, but Paterson got Nick Nordgren to ground out to end the threat.

North Dakota State (6-16) had seven hits in the first game of a doubleheader.
