We take a look at the 2023 ACC Baseball Tournament including the full schedule for the week in Durham.

The 2023 college baseball regular season is in the books and the focus shifts to the postseason.

The North Carolina Tar Heels entered this past weekend’s series against a red-hot Clemson team and couldn’t slow it, getting swept to close the regular season.

Diamond Heels get a first look at their ACC championship rings

As the North Carolina baseball team is preparing for the upcoming season, we get a look at the championship ring they earned last season.

The 2022-2023 season is on the horizon for North Carolina’s baseball team, but before entering the new year, they received some bling from last year.

Last season, the Diamond Heels started rocky, but they became a threat in the NCAA by the end. The last stretch of the regular season is when UNC started clicking, going 11-2 in their final 13 games.

That late push built the needed momentum and ranking to give UNC a chance, taking that opportunity and converting it to championship gold.

The Diamond Heels spark grew more prominent in the ACC playoffs, going 4-0 with a 9-2 win over Clemson, 10-0 against Virginia Tech, 7-2 against Notre Dame, and claiming the ACC title in the 9-5 win over NC State.

We finally get a look at North Carolina’s ACC championship rings as they prepare for this upcoming season.

The North Carolina baseball team has won the ACC title eight times.

Notre Dame falters late, doesn’t advance to ACC Baseball Championship

It was a great run

It was a very good run by the Irish baseball team, but unfortunately they fell just one game short of advancing to the ACC Championship game. It was a tight game, one that saw Notre Dame and North Carolina tied 2-2 after seven innings. Unfortunately for the Irish, the Tar Heels plated three runs in the top of the eighth while Notre Dame bats went cold over the final innings before falling 7-2.

It was a historical run for Link Jarrett’s team, as this was the farthest the Irish have gone in the ACC Baseball Tournament. The Irish will miss a chance for an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, but will make it anyways in a season where they were ranked for the whole season.

 

They key for the Irish in the first-round of the NCAA’s will be having the regional at home. Many of the projections had them just inside the range of hosting the initial round. The ideal situation would be having the first two-rounds in South Bend, and making the College World Series for a second year in a row.

Notre Dame outlasts Florida State, advances to ACC tournament semi-finals

A first for the Irish baseball program!!!

The Irish made history today and it wasn’t starting pitcher [autotag]John Michael Bertrand’s[/autotag] eight strike outs. It was the fact that [autotag]Link Jarrett’s[/autotag] team staved off a ninth inning comeback by Florida State to defeat the Seminoles 5-3 and advance to their first ever ACC Baseball semi-final round.

The Irish ace once again led the way for Notre Dame, going eight strong innings, allowing just one run and the aforementioned eight K’s. Offensively, the Irish were led by a barrage of home runs, which included long balls from [autotag]Zack Prajzner[/autotag], [autotag]Jack Zyska[/autotag], and [autotag]Brooks Coetzee[/autotag]. While Prajzner’s was a solo shot, both Zyska’s and Coetzee’s were two-run blasts which accounted for all the Irish runs.

It was a team effort that advanced the Irish to face off against Virginia, tomorrow with a berth to the championship round on the line. This season the Irish have yet to face the Cavaliers. First pitch is schedule for 11:00 am EST tomorrow.
