After the weather postponed Friday’s series opener for the No. 6 Notre Dame baseball team at Boston College, the Irish took game one of Saturday’s doubleheader after getting ahead early.
Spencer Myers scored the first run by way of a Carter Putz sacrifice fly before Ryan Cole successfully stole home as Boston College attempted to catch Niko Kavadas while attempting to steal second base. Cole sprinted home to give the Irish the early 2-0 lead.
Notre Dame rode a stellar outing from John Bertrand who went 6.1 innings and allowed only two runs, both of which were earned.
Leading the Eagles 3-2 in the ninth inning, Kavadas hit an opposite-field home run to extend Notre Dame’s lead to 5-2, the eventual final score. The home run was Kavadas’s 14th of the season.
The win improved Notre Dame to 19-8 overall and 17-8 in the ACC while Boston College fell to 16-20 overall and 6-17 in ACC play.
