Notre Dame baseball wins finale, split series with Florida International

A solid weekend for the Irish baseball team

Although Notre Dame baseball dropped both games on Saturday, they still had a change to return to South Bend with a split series against host Florida Atlantic.

That’s exactly what happened, as the Irish took the finale 3-1 behind a bullpen day of great pitching. Torey McDonough started the game with 2 innings, followed by Jack Radel with three innings and Rickey Reeth with 2.2 of shutout baseball. Bennett Flynn earned the save while giving up the only run of the game.

Offensively, Notre Dame was led by right fielder Tito Flores, who drove in two, and left fielder David Glancy who knocked in the other run with a solo homer, his fourth of the young season.

The win propels the Irish’s record to 5-2 as they get a couple days of rest before taking on Tennessee Tech in a three game series starting on March 1st.

Notre Dame baseball’s winning streak ends, Irish fall twice to FIU

Not the best double-dip on Saturday for the Irish

Notre Dame baseball got off to a hot start through its first four games, winning every single contest.

Saturday was a different story, as a double-header doomed the Golden Domers. The first game saw the Irish storm back to take the lead in the top of the seventh, only to see Florida International tie the game in the bottom of the inning and take the lead for good in the eight. The final score of game one was 10-8.

Game two was much of the same story, as the Irish had to battle back down 5-0. They got as close as 5-4, but a three-run seventh and a two-run eighth by FIU pushed them through for a 10-5 final.

The first two losses of the season for Notre Dame put its record at 4-2 early in the year. The series finale is set for Sunday at Noon EST and will be broadcast on ESPN+.

Camellia Bowl: Florida International vs. Arkansas State odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Camellia Bowl betting odds between the Florida International Panthers vs. the Arkansas State Red Wolves, with betting picks, tips and bets.

The Florida International Panthers (6-6) square off with the Arkansas State Red Wolves (7-5) in the Camellia Bowl Saturday in Montgomery, Ala., at 5:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Florida International-Arkansas State odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Florida International-Arkansas State: Three things you need to know

  1. The Red Wolves own the better of the two offenses. ASU averaged 33.7 PPG (while yielding 34.8 PPG). The Panthers averaged just 26.5 PPG (allowing 26.7 PPG). However, ranked by yards per point, Florida International will be the third-best defense Arkansas State has seen this season.
  2.  Arkansas State won four consecutive games – from Oct. 26-Nov. 23 – before losing 34-31 at the South Alabama Jaguars Nov. 29. During their streak, the Wolves had three wins by seven points or less and piled up hidden yards by way of turnovers, special teams and uneven possessions. That stretch sent ASU into its game against South Alabama as a 10-point favorite to be faded.
  3. ASU averages just 3.6 yards per carry, so the Panthers pass defense – one putting up its best games the second half of the season – figures as a big key in this matchup. Since Oct. 5, FIU foes have completed just 51% of their pass attempts, gaining 149 yards per game with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.
