At first, the sound was almost unbelievable. But the chant was audible everywhere – in the stands at Dudy Noble Stadium, in Notre Dame’s dugout, on the field and over the ESPN broadcast. A ringing “Let’s Go Irish” broke out amidst another sellout crowd in Starkville, Mississippi, as the No. 10 Fighting Irish quieted the

All week, Notre Dame head coach Link Jarrett touted the atmosphere that would be present at Dudy Noble Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi, and it did not disappoint. “National Championship caliber type of game. That’s what it’s about,” Jarrett said. “Make no mistake, it doesn’t get any more intense or exciting than that.” Unfortunately for Jarrett,

Take the crowd, and multiply it by four. Take the weather, and make it hotter and raise the humidity. Take the competition, and raise it another level. The stakes? They’re that much higher, too.

Six years ago, the Irish entered the Champaign Region as no.

The ebbs and flows of postseason pool play can be extremely volatile. Entering the ACC Tournament as the No. 1 seed, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish saw the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, with a blowout victory in their tournament opener, 8-0 over Virginia Tech, only to see themselves eliminated by Virginia,

When making his college decision, Notre Dame senior first baseman Niko Kavadas–a somewhat lightly recruited prospect at the time–chose the Irish over Purdue and Dartmouth. He felt it was the ‘best blend’ of academics and athletics, particularly given Notre Dame’s ACC schedule. Kavadas, who grew up about fifteen minutes from campus and frequently attended Notre

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. They did so with a stacked schedule; the
