It was a great weekend for Notre Dame baseball, as they got its first ACC win and along with that its first ACC series as well.
Friday and Saturday went according to plan for the Irish, winning each of those contests heading into Sunday’s finale. The back-and-forth contest against host Miami looked like it was going to go Notre Dame’s way, as they led 7-1 after 4 innings.
The Hurricane’s stormed back with an 8-run top of the fifth, which seemingly gave them a cushion to win the game. Instead, the Irish fought back, tying the game in the bottom of the ninth, 10-10.
The extra inning saw Miami plate two runs, and then shut out the Irish in the bottom to secure the win.
Miami plates two in the 10th, and the Irish fall 12-10 in the series finale.
