Check out the time-lapse video of Notre Dame baseball getting new turf at Frank Eck Stadium

Frank Eck got an upgrade

We are still about six months away from when [autotag]Notre Dame baseball[/autotag] gets its season started, but Frank Eck Stadium got its underway this summer.

The home of the Irish had its new turf installed recently, and it wasn’t a quick process. Notre Dame’s social media team capitalized on this opportunity, as they created a time-lapse video of the process.

[autotag]Jake Kline Field[/autotag] has held the name since 1995, and according the Notre Dame’s official athletics website, has had the same FieldTurf since prior to the 2014 season. Typically it’s an eight-year life for that kind of surface, but since the Irish don’t use it on a daily basis, so they got an extra two-years out of it.

Around 12-seconds in, when the video pans out to see the whole field, really shows how much work it went into this upgrade. Jake Kline Field looks great and is ready for the spring.

Pending inclement weather cancels Notre Dame-Bowling Green

No game Tuesday.

Monday was a wet day in South Bend. With Tuesday’s forecast not looking any better, Notre Dame’s scheduled game against Bowling Green at Frank Eck Stadium has been canceled. That means the Irish’s 25-17 record will stay where it is for now.

The rainout means a wet start to what will be a memorable month for the Irish, who have won seven of their past nine games and thus earned four votes in the latest national poll. Their season at Frank Eck Stadium concludes with a pair of three-game series against NC State and Akron. They’ll face Northwestern at Wrigley Field and then finish the regular season with a four-game series against Boston College, which includes a game at Fenway Park.

Not every baseball player throughout history can boast playing at MLB’s two oldest stadiums in the same week, but the Irish will get that opportunity. To say the least, times are good for the program right now.

It was quite the weekend for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] baseball. On Friday nights series opener again [autotag]Louisville[/autotag], the Irish put together four runs in the bottom of the 5th and 6th innings and held off the Cardinal 4-3.

Saturday saw bad weather in South Bend, so the series would have to finish on Sunday with a double-header. Notre Dame would win another one run game, this time 5-4, again the 5th inning was magic as they scored all their runs in that inning.

The win made history in [autotag]Frank Eck Stadium[/autotag], as it was the first time ever that Notre Dame had won a home series against Louisville.

The finale would be a close contest as well, the Irish coming up just short, losing 2-1, narrowly missing a sweep of the visitors. The weekend series victory would improve the season record to 12-9 with a 4-5 mark in ACC play.
