The current behaviour gently guides the user into the "correct" way to create a page called "baseball". That's not to take some action on the search page (which is not intended as a "search or create" page).
Rather, the user is taken to the "New York Mets" page, where he turns the word "baseball" into a WikiLink "[[baseball]]" and then clicks on that link to create the new page.
That way, the New York Mets page is correctly linked to the newly-created "baseball" page (which wouldn't happen in your scenario).
The only scenario in which creating the new page directly from the search page is the correct thing to do is if none of the existing pages talks about baseball at all. That's not quite the current behaviour: the current behaviour is to offer the option to create a new page if none of the existing pages have a title containing the work "baseball".
But that's close enough.
Now, you might object, "But what if the user doesn't know about WikiLink syntax?" To which I say, perhaps the user should familiarize herself with the rudiments of wiki syntax before creating her first page.

Ok, I see the logic you are describing. I will document it in my tutorial. Thanks.

To follow up a little more, the "desired" behaviour that I outlined does have its pitfalls.
In your example, say the user searched for "base" instead. This might still redirect to the "New York Mets" page (where it discusses Robinson Canó at second base). Trouble is, the user didn't mean "base" as in "second base"; she meant "base" as in "military base." So creating a WikiLink from the "New York Mets" page would be inappropriate.
The correct thing to do would be to refine the search, searching instead for "military base." Then she would be prompted to create a new page with a proper, non-ambiguous name.
