The hype around Notre Dame baseball was built up a little bit last spring during the team’s 11-2 start, which included a road sweep of North Carolina.

To say it has been a monumental year for the Notre Dame baseball team would be an understatement. The Irish posted their highest ranking for the program since 2001, eventually reaching No. 2 in Baseball America’s Top 25 after methodically rising in the polls throughout the season.
