It hasn’t been easy for Notre Dame baseball this season against fellow ACC opponents, as a loss at home to Clemson continued its struggles.
The Irish came into the series on a 4-game losing streak and the number was pushed to 7 after Sunday’s comeback fell short in extra innings. The loss drops Notre Dame’s record to 14-15, just 2-13 in conference play.
Clemson took a commanding 11-1 lead after the top of the six inning, then the Irish bats woke up. Notre Dame scored 10 runs, 4 in the 8th and 5 in the 9th to force the game into extra innings. Unfortunately their hot bats didn’t continue, as the Tigers scored two in the top of the 11th to the Irish’s one.
