Notre Dame Baseball swept for second ACC series in a row
In a tough conference like the ACC, the Irish are having a hard time getting back their momentum.
Ouch. After Notre Dame swept the Clemson Tigers last month, the Irish entered the Top 25 as the #23 ranked team in the country. As good as that felt, it’s been all downhill since then.
Well, I guess they got a win over Western Michigan right after, but THEN Notre Dame was swept by North Carolina, and followed that up by being swept Easter weekend by NC State. We knew things would get dicey with a tough schedule ahead of them, but the sweeps are very demoralizing. Notre Dame Baseball: Irish Make Late Rally But Fall in Series Finale at NC State RALEIGH, N.
C. – The Notre Dame baseball team battled back to take a lead in the ninth, but a pair of runs by NC State saw the result go to the Wolfpack in a 7-6 final on Saturday afternoon. NC State posted four unearned runs in the bottom of the first to take the early lead.
The Irish got on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth. Mason Barth reached on a fielder’s choice and stole second base with two outs gone. Dylan Passo then laced a double to the right-center gap as Barth came around to score to make it a 4-1 game.
