Notre Dame pitcher Temple had himself a weekend, gets recognized

What a weekend

The Irish baseball team won another weekend series. Copy, paste, print. Itโ€™s been a reoccurring theme since Link Jarrett took over the program, and early this year itโ€™s been three series played, and three series victories.

Two of those have been sweeps, this weekend being another one. The Sunday starter, Austin Temple made Minnesota miserable, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning while striking out a career-high 9 Gophers. For his efforts he was named the MVP of the Cambria College Classic, but the recognition didnโ€™t stop there for Temple.

On Monday, Temple was named the ACC pitcher of the week for his gem this past Sunday.

The Irish ultimately won the game, 3-1, taking all three games against the Big Ten foes in the CCC.

With their three win, the Irish improved to 8-1 on the year and once again are looking like a team that has College World Series aspirations.
