The Irish didn’t wait for the game to get settled before putting a run on the board. Back-to-back singles put Notre Dame in great position, but a double-play seemed like the great start could be erased. Carter Putz has something to say about that however.

His RBI single scored Spencer Myers as the Irish struck first in the top of the first. This is important because of Notre Dame’s record when they score first, an impressive 24-3 this year.
Hopefully the history of scoring first holds true as the Irish are just getting this first game of their Super regional matchup against Mississippi State started.
