Notre Dame Baseball beats Michigan, keeps winning streak alive

The winning streak is just short to two handfuls

For the most part, midweek home games shouldn’t be much of a challenge, they’re set up to get the younger players and pitchers some playing time. That’s not always the case, especially when you are hosting a team that went to the College World Series finale just two seasons ago.

For the Irish baseball team, over the last two seasons, they have emerged as the Midwest baseball power, overtaking Michigan for that honor. Those two teams faced off against each other on Tuesday night at Frank Eck Stadium, and Irish slugged their way to a 14-5 victory, extending their winning streak to 9 games.

The Irish bats stayed hot all game, Spencer Myers hit a homer and drive on four runs, Brooks Coetzee had two hits and 3 RBI, while Zack Prajzner had just one hit but also drove in three.

The Irish used five pitchers on the day, with Jack Findlay, Aidan Tyrell and Radek Birkholz each having clean outings. Jackson Dennies and Liam Simon struggled but the Irish hitters picked them up.

The Irish have yet to lose in the month of April, racking up nine straight wins to run their record to an impressive 21-5. The winning streak goes on the road this weekend as Link Jarrett’s team heads to Durham, North Carolina to face Duke this weekend in ACC conference play.

Notre Dame Baseball looks to end 3-game losing steak as they host Northwestern

We’ll have to wait until tomorrow

It was not the weekend the Irish baseball team envisioned, as Louisville swept them on the road during the weekend. The great part about baseball is that games are played very regularly, so the bitter taste can be erased from Notre Dame’s mouth.

The were supposed to get that opportunity tonight, but they will have to wait until Wednesday as the game has been moved. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30pm EST as the Irish will send lefty Jack Findlay to the mound at Frank Eck Stadium.

It should be the end of the current 3-game losing streak, as the Irish are currently 3-0 against the Big Ten and have been spectacular at home against non-conference foes during Link Jarrett’s tenure, going 17-6.

Hopefully, this is the first game of another winning steak for the Irish, as they will play their next five games without having to travel outside of South Bend.
