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

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE — There were plenty of smiles to go around for the Irish on Sunday. From the dugout the team streamed out of to celebrate graduate student catcher David LaManna and junior third baseman Jack Brannigan’s game-changing seventh-inning home runs to the pitcher’s mound where they dogpiled to celebrate clinching the program’s third-ever College

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE — Even though they had already scored three runs, it did not feel like the Tennessee Volunteers offense really came alive on Friday until the sixth inning. A sacrifice fly or a couple of scattered solo home runs is one thing. But Lindsey Nelson Field was rocking when Jared Dickey stroked a two-out

361 days. When the first pitch of the Knoxville Super Regional is thrown, that’s how long it’ll have been since Notre Dame was in its last Super Regional. Last year, at 9:15 p.m. on June 14, Irish slugger Niko Kavadas grounded into a double play, ending Notre Dame’s comeback attempt. They dropped Game 3 of

Winning 3-2 and 6-4 in the Statesboro Regional were no small feats for Irish baseball. Notre Dame stepped up to another close win over Texas Tech, decided again, late in the game. In the ninth inning of a one-run game, with a trip to the Super Regionals on the line, the bases were loaded. Texas

Notre Dame Baseball entered the 2022 season with high expectations. In 2021, the Irish fell just one game shy of the College World Series. They pushed eventual national champion Mississippi State to the brink in Starkville, falling in a three-game super regional. Additionally, Notre Dame lost just two players. However, those two players proved to

It was a comfortable 12-2 midweek victory over in-state opponents Purdue Fort Wayne as No. 18 Notre Dame put together a steady performance at the plate from start to finish. On the mound, the pitching staff put together another stellar effort, giving up two runs on just four hits and striking out fifteen Mastodon batters.

It’s been an up-and-down season for No. 6 Notre Dame baseball (17-5, 5-4 ACC) so far. The Irish rose to as high as No. 1 in some polls earlier in the year but fell after a four-game losing streak near the end of March. But after knocking off Butler 5-2 Tuesday evening, the Irish are

Notre Dame baseball needed to bust out of a slump, riding a four-game losing streak into Tuesday’s contest. As it turned out, a midweek battle with the hapless Northern Illinois Huskies (4-18) was just the recipe the Irish desired. The Irish struck once in the first and then four times in the second for an
