Notre Dame’s first game in the 2022 College World Series couldn’t have gone better. They took the lead on Texas in the first inning and never gave it up in a 7-3 win. With the victory, they earned the right to play Sunday against Oklahoma, which earned a 13-8 win over Texas A&M on Friday. They also will have at least one more game regardless of the result.
Just as fun as the victory was the atmosphere in the stands. Even if you disregard all the Irish fans who showed up, the neutral fans who were there still have be to happy about this program that didn’t even let an unlikable Tennessee team reach Omaha. The Irish fans might even have been outnumbered by Longhorns fans, but it didn’t matter because the folks wearing green had a lot more to cheer about during the evening.
In case you missed the game, here are a few images:
