The Notre Dame baseball team put together a remarkable and historic season in 2022. It ended in somewhat uncharacteristic fashion. Some mental mistakes and fielding sloppiness cost the Irish several runs. And when the Irish looked to be mounting a potential late-game comeback, they promptly struck out and grounded into a double play. And the

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. It was a great starting frame for junior pitcher Liam Simon on the mound, as he struck out

There’s no way to sugarcoat it — Sunday night’s game against Oklahoma was a bad day for Notre Dame baseball. Head coach Link Jarrett summarized it well with his opening remark of the postgame press conference. “They outplayed us in essentially every phase of the game,” Jarrett said. The Irish used seven pitchers in a

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

Notre Dame suffered its first loss at the 2022 College World Series Sunday night, falling to Oklahoma 6-2. In a reverse of what gave the Irish the edge in prior matchups against Texas and Tennessee, Notre Dame’s bats ran cold for the majority of Sunday’s contest against the Sooners. Oklahoma struggled early at the plate

The College World Series, like most playoffs, is usually seen as a “survive-and-advance” tournament. Notre Dame and Oklahoma won’t be playing for their lives on Sunday. But it doesn’t make their matchup any less important. The team that usually emerges in Omaha isn’t always the most talented. It’s the one that puts itself in the

To say Jared Miller entered Notre Dame’s College World Series run at the right time is an understatement. A two-year captain and five-year starter for the Irish, Miller has, for a half-decade now, been one of the few constants on a Notre Dame team that consistently changed and developed under Link Jarrett. As the Irish

The Irish beat the No. 9 Texas Longhorns 7-3 in their opening game of the College World Series. It was Notre Dame’s first Omaha victory in exactly 20 years. They beat Rice 5-3 on June 17, 2002. Today, it was pitching that set the tone for Notre Dame as the team allowed 3 runs on

As the Fighting Irish head to Omaha for the first time since 2002 their pitching figures to be a huge part of a potential national title run. By the numbers, Notre Dame’s pitching has been one of the best in the country all year. As a team, they carry a 3.95 ERA. That number ranked

The conversation with Notre Dame baseball often centers around its pitching. The Irish have the best team ERA remaining in the tournament. By the numbers, the Irish bats are not the strength of this team. Notre Dame brings four players with 10 or more home runs this season to Omaha. Texas, the Irish’s opening opponent,
