Entering the weekend, Notre Dame baseball hadn’t taken a series from Louisville since 2009. The Cardinals made four College World Series appearances during that stretch and are currently among the nation’s top ten again. Despite the circumstances, the Irish ended the 14-year drought, stealing two of three from the sixth-ranked team in America at home
