Notre Dame baseball starts trip with a win

The Irish have started a streak on spring break

The Notre Dame baseball team are in a stretch of playing eight games in ten days and they are starting to get into a groove. After dropping the first two games to Georgia Tech, they won on Sunday and had a chance to start a winning streak today.

Mission accomplished, as the Irish defeated St. Joseph’s in Holly Springs, North Carolina 6-3. There was offense early on both sides, as each team scored two runs in the first inning, but then the Irish pitching settled down and the bats did enough to come away with a victory.

Starter [autotag]Matt Bedford[/autotag] lasted just the first inning then reliever [autotag]Blake Hely[/autotag] took over and pitched four innings, allowing just a hit while walking a batter. [autotag]Jack Findlay[/autotag]
would give up a run but [autotag]Carter Bosch[/autotag] would close out the game for the Irish.

Offensively, it was [autotag]Carter Putz[/autotag] putting the team on his back, as he went 3-for-4 with 4 RBI and a run scored. [autotag]Nick Juaire[/autotag] and [autotag]Jack Penney[/autotag] each added an RBI.

The Irish get back on the diamond tomorrow facing the same SJU team with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. EST.

Notre Dame baseball wins Sunday, takes series over North Carolina-Greensboro

The Irish win their first series of the season

The [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] baseball team had a pivotal game on Sunday afternoon against host North Carolina-Greensboro and came out victorious 7-4. The Irish jumped on UNCG early, withstood their comeback attempt and evened up their record at 3-3.

The Irish used speed early as [autotag]Zach Prajzner[/autotag] stole second and [autotag]Brooks Coetzee[/autotag] drove him in to get the scoring started. Coetzee would then plate another run in the top of the fourth with a single and the Irish scored another on a walk and bad defense by UNCG. [autotag]Danny Neri[/autotag] would finish off the inning with a single plating two, giving the Irish an early 5-0 lead.

UNCG would score three of their own in the bottom of the fourth, but the Irish answered with one in the top of the fifth, scoring on a passed ball. [autotag]TJ Williams[/autotag] finished off the offense for Notre Dame with a RBI single in the top of the seventh.

Starting pitcher [autotag]Blake Hely[/autotag] struggled through 3.2 innings, giving up three earned runs and striking out just one. Relievers [autotag]Will Mercer[/autotag], [autotag]Matt Bedford[/autotag] and [autotag]Carter Bosch[/autotag] pitched clean outings while [autotag]Sammy Cooper[/autotag] gave up a run in his .2 innings of work.

Notre Dame gets back to action next weekend as they travel to Birmingham, Alabama to face UAB. Game one of the series is set to start on Friday, with first pitch at 3:00 p.m. ET.
