It was quite the weekend for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] baseball. On Friday nights series opener again [autotag]Louisville[/autotag], the Irish put together four runs in the bottom of the 5th and 6th innings and held off the Cardinal 4-3.
Saturday saw bad weather in South Bend, so the series would have to finish on Sunday with a double-header. Notre Dame would win another one run game, this time 5-4, again the 5th inning was magic as they scored all their runs in that inning.
The win made history in [autotag]Frank Eck Stadium[/autotag], as it was the first time ever that Notre Dame had won a home series against Louisville.

The finale would be a close contest as well, the Irish coming up just short, losing 2-1, narrowly missing a sweep of the visitors. The weekend series victory would improve the season record to 12-9 with a 4-5 mark in ACC play.
Notre Dame gets a day off today and will be back on the diamond on Tuesday as they host Butler with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. EST.
