Following up a team’s best season in 20 years is never easy. Last year, Notre Dame baseball climbed to a summit it could have only dreamed about just a few years ago and one it came so agonizingly close to reaching the season prior: the College World Series. The 2022 team became the third in

For a team with sky-high postseason hopes, Notre Dame baseball has endured a rough go in midweek play over the last month.

After two seasons of cruising through the regular season, 2023 has been more of an adventure for Notre Dame baseball. That isn’t to say the Irish haven’t played well at times. They entered this weekend with one series win over a then top-10 ACC team, having won two of three against now No. 12 Louisville

Notre Dame baseball (17-13, 7-8 ACC) currently occupies fourth place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Over the next four weekends, the Irish will face the three teams sitting below them – plus national No. 7 Virginia. Sitting just a game and a half out of second place, Notre Dame will have a major opportunity to

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

Both teams hope to build on encouraging Sunday doubleheader showings. Arnone, Martinez ready for four
