For the second time in as many weekend home series as there have been, Ryan Cole walked things off with a home run on Saturday as No. 14 Notre Dame outdid No. 6 Louisville, 5-3.
Cole also had a walk-off home run, his first career homer with the Irish, in the Friday opener against Duke last weekend before also hitting an inside-the-park home run the following day.
The walk-off helped Notre Dame pick up their first win against the Cardinals since 2011.
