Notre Dame baseball is off to Greensboro, North Carolina, for their second series of the season to take on UNC Greensboro. The Irish have gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season.

Notre Dame baseball fell 5-1 to Texas A&M at the College World Series, ending their season and phenomenal postseason run. Ultimately, a career-defining performance from the Aggies’ starter and some unforced errors doomed the Irish in Omaha.

For the second time this postseason, Notre Dame finds its back against the wall. Much like last time, the task ahead is a daunting one. A little over a week ago, the Irish had to beat No. 1 Tennessee on the road without either primary starting pitcher available. Now, head coach Link Jarrett’s squad must
