Notre Dame remains in quite the race atop the ACC Coastal Division standings with Louisville as the two boost nearly identical winning percentages in conference play with the Cardinals holding a slight edge in the department, from .700 to .696.
This weekend doesn’t just present a winnable series for Notre Dame, but a potentially sweepable one as the Irish are at Boston College for three games this weekend and the Eagles have gone just 5-16 in ACC play to date and have lost 12 of their last 15.
Meanwhile the Irish have been outstanding away from home this season as they’ve compiled a 9-3 record away from Eck Stadium.
Golden Eagles centerfielder Sal Frelick is a name to watch this weekend as he’s compiled the second-most hits in the ACC so far this season.
One statistic to especially note is Boston College’s pitching struggles as their team ERA of 6.48 is the worst by over a full run in the ACC this season.
The action gets underway Friday evening at Boston College as the Irish and Eagles meet at 5:30 p.m. ET. Saturday’s first pitch comes at 3 p.m. ET while Sunday’s series finale gets started at 12 p.m. ET.
