On Sunday afternoon, it looked like Notre Dame baseball would return with a series victory against Tennessee Tech, but its bats woke up late on Sunday and they bashed their way to a sweep.
The Irish bats were hot all weekend, as they scored 14-runs on Friday, 15-runs on Saturday and 14-runs during the finale. In the series opener, they didn’t need the extra cushion, but certainly did the final two games as the pitching allowed 11-runs in each of those games.
With the three-game sweep, Notre Dame moves to an 8-2 record, with its first home game of the year set for Tuesday against Purdue at 4:30 p.m. EST.
1️⃣5️⃣ home runs – the MOST of any Division I program in the nation over the weekend… and in fewer games than any of the rest of the Top 10. #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/SJGHHJPbwH

Notre Dame bashed 15 homers during the series, most in Division 1 over the weekend, and the 43-runs were the most ever in a 3-games series against the same opponent.
One of just two players in program history to record three home runs in a single game TWICE.
