The Notre Dame baseball team are in a stretch of playing eight games in ten days and they are starting to get into a groove. After dropping the first two games to Georgia Tech, they won on Sunday and had a chance to start a winning streak today.
Mission accomplished, as the Irish defeated St. Joseph’s in Holly Springs, North Carolina 6-3. There was offense early on both sides, as each team scored two runs in the first inning, but then the Irish pitching settled down and the bats did enough to come away with a victory.
Starter [autotag]Matt Bedford[/autotag] lasted just the first inning then reliever [autotag]Blake Hely[/autotag] took over and pitched four innings, allowing just a hit while walking a batter. [autotag]Jack Findlay[/autotag]
would give up a run but [autotag]Carter Bosch[/autotag] would close out the game for the Irish.

Offensively, it was [autotag]Carter Putz[/autotag] putting the team on his back, as he went 3-for-4 with 4 RBI and a run scored. [autotag]Nick Juaire[/autotag] and [autotag]Jack Penney[/autotag] each added an RBI.
The Irish get back on the diamond tomorrow facing the same SJU team with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. EST.
