Notre Dame baseball brings bats Sunday, still loses series against Georgia Tech

The Irish are now even early in the season

It was a tough weekend for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] baseball, but they were able to salvage the series finale against Georgia Tech, winning 17-4.

The first two games of the series didn’t go the Irish’s way, losing on Friday 7-4 and then on Saturday 15-2. By avoiding the sweep on Sunday, Notre Dame evened their record at 6-6 on the year, 1-2 in ACC play.

The Irish scored early and often on getaway day, plating double-digits runs in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th inning. Multiple players had more than one hit with [autotag]Jack Penney[/autotag] leading the way with three hits and 5 RBI. [autotag]Brooke Coetzee[/autotag] scored four runs while [autotag]TJ Williams[/autotag] came across three times.

Notre Dame has a quick turnaround as they have a two-game set against Saint Joseph in North Carolina starting Tuesday afternoon. The series concludes on Wednesday then they stay inside the state as they face off against Wake Forest over the weekend.

Notre Dame takes game one vs Clemson, game two start time changed

The steak hits six-games for the Irish who look for seven today

The Irish got off to a great start against ACC foe Clemson, as John Michael Bertrand continued to show why is the ace of the Notre Dame pitching staff. The game start time was changed but not JMB’s performance, for the second straight start not allowing a run. The lefty was magnificent, going 8 and 1/3 innings, striking out eight Tigers and getting the win.

Although Bertrand did allow a run, it was unearned, it was exactly what you wanted to see from your game one starter. Saving the bullpen, Ryan McLinksey pitched just 2/3 of an inning on two pitches, sets up the Irish very well for the remainder of the series.

Offensively, three players had two hits each, Spencer Myers, Jack Brannigan and Brooks Coetzee. Myers and Brannigan along with Nick Juaire each drove in a run.

For the second day in a row, the start time will be adjusted, as Saturday’s contest is now set to begin at 3pm EST at Frank Eck Stadium. The Irish look to keep their six-game winning streak alive as their record is a dazzling 18-5 as they are set to face the Tigers in game two with Austin Temple on the mound.
