What stings is that Notre Dame should be one win away from heading to Omaha for the College World Series right now but some shoddy play in the field Saturday helped lead to a Mississippi State comeback to take game one of the best-of-three super regional series.
The Irish led 7-3 in the fifth inning after a three-run home run by Zach Prajzner but allowed three in the bottom half of the inning and only scored once more themselves in a letdown loss.
See the highlights from game one action on Saturday below as the Irish now enter play on Sunday evening with their season on the line.
Notre Dame and Mississippi State square off for game two on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. An Irish win would force a decisive game three Monday night while a win by the Bulldogs would send them to the College World Series and eliminate Notre Dame.
