For Notre Dame baseball, the long grind of conference play begins this weekend. The Irish (5-4) will visit Georgia Tech (11-2) for the first time in four years to kick off the 30-game slate. Though Notre Dame never played dominant baseball through its first three series, head coach Shawn Stiffler is not too worried with

Though it was far from pretty, Notre Dame baseball took its first series over the weekend. Playing at North Carolina-Greensboro, the Irish were outscored by seven runs overall, but survived close games Friday and Sunday. With the result, Notre Dame now sits at 3-3 as February draws to a close. Friday: Notre Dame 6, UNCG

When one thinks of Notre Dame athletics, they are likely to conjure up images of a kickoff at Notre Dame Stadium, a packed Purcell Pavilion erupting after another Notre Dame three-pointer or the gold helmets skating about Compton Ice Arena. They may even note Irish fencing’s dynasty or Notre Dame soccer’s recent runs in the

After a memorable season, a lot of uncertainty awaits the Notre Dame baseball team. There’s a decent amount of change, and potentially even more than anticipated, coming to the roster. Here’s what to know regarding decisions to be made, and the definite roster turnover happening in South Bend. Who’s leaving? Out of the starting lineup,

Notre Dame baseball fell 5-1 to Texas A&M at the College World Series, ending their season and phenomenal postseason run. Ultimately, a career-defining performance from the Aggies’ starter and some unforced errors doomed the Irish in Omaha. It was a great starting frame for junior pitcher Liam Simon on the mound, as he struck out

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 — The Tennessee Volunteers entered the NCAA Super Regionals as not just the No. 1 seed in the entire nation, but arguably the country’s most complete team. After all, they entered the weekend leading the NCAA in runs scored and earned run average. Every Volunteers hitter in Friday’s starting lineup carries a .300

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

Confident and relentless. That’s what Notre Dame graduate student catcher David LaManna said the Irish would be at this Statesboro Regional. And through two games, it’s hard to argue the fact. Nobody embodied the confidence and relentlessness more than true freshman Jack Findlay on Saturday night. Notre Dame head coach Link Jarrett called upon the
