It’s pretty safe to say that the Irish baseball team has been streaky this season after starting the season off with a 2-1 record. A ten-game winning streak, followed by a four-game losing streak lead right into the current five-game winning steak Link Jarrett’s team is on at the moment.
For the Irish to keep their current steak alive, they’ll have to face a Clemson team that has been solid but not spectacular. The Tigers enter the series with a 19-9 record, but just 2-6 in ACC play. Their starters haven’t been as successful as Notre Dame’s, so the Irish have the clear advantage there, even without knowing who will start game three.
Ace John Michael Bertrand will be on the hill today, with Austin Temple on Saturday. Expect the other “starter” Aidan Tyrell to be active as well, but most likely out of the bullpen after the extremely successful experiment last weekend at Florida State.
Game one is set to begin at 4pm EST with admission free at Frank Eck Stadium. The game will be televised on the ACC Network as well.
