Notre Dame baseball was set to host Northwestern on Tuesday but rainy and windy weather that not even mother nature herself could love caused that to be postponed until Wednesday. It wasn’t the weather that postponed the rescheduled game today but instead because Northwestern couldn’t find a bus driver to get the team the roughly 113 miles to South Bend.
The following release was sent by Notre Dame athletics late Wednesday morning:
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame baseball team’s midweek contest on Wednesday (3/23) against Northwestern has been postponed due to bus driver availability with Northwestern. The two teams will look to reschedule the contest for later in the season.
