Notre Dame baseball played four games over the past week, starting strong but struggling to the finish line. The Irish offense surged in a series win and near-sweep at Pittsburgh over the weekend. However, the bats couldn’t deliver late in Tuesday’s 7-6 home loss to Michigan State. The 11-inning defeat snapped Notre Dame’s five-game winning

It’s a moment every young ballplayer dreams of. There truly is nothing like it — seeing a ball fly off your bat and over the fence for the very first time at the college level.

Though No. 13 North Carolina took two of three games in South Bend this weekend, Notre Dame baseball got its money’s worth. The Irish outscored the Heels 19-16 overall, launching an octet of homers and leading for the majority of the series.
