The streak reaches three, Notre Dame Baseball takes game 1 against Wake Forest

The Irish are streaking again, one hits three games

The streaks for this years Irish baseball team have been odd to say the least. Aside from the first series of the year, Link Jarrett’s team has either won multiple games in-a-row or lost them in the same fashion.

After a terrible road series at Duke, where the Irish lost each game, they turned around and won their two mid-week home games before Wake Forest came to South Bend. The Irish’s streaky ways continued, as they defeated the Demon Deacons 8-3 on Friday night, extending their winning streak to 3-games, while improving their overall record to 24-8. They moved to two-games over .500 in ACC play as well, with a 9-7 record in conference.

Ace John Michael Bertrand was great again, as he allowed just five hits and one walk, two runs with one earned. He stuck out four before giving way to Alex Rao, allowed a run in 2.1 innings, and Jackson Dennies who finished off Wake.

Offensively Jack Zyska led the way with three hits, an RBI and two runs. David LaManna also scored twice while Jack Brannigan drove in two.

The series continues this afternoon at Frank Eck Stadium at 2pm EST, and if you on campus for the Blue vs. Gold game, head on over after and check out the Irish baseball team.

Notre Dame Baseball looks to break ACC losing streak as they host Wake Forest

The series begins tonight against the Demon Deacons

The Irish have been hot and cold against ACC opponents this year, something that has been very frustrating for head coach Link Jarrett. Although Notre Dame enters the series against visiting Wake Forest with a 23-8 record, they are just 8-7 in conference play.

Every ACC series has either been swept by the Irish or the Irish have been swept. Notre Dame is coming off a three game sweep after they visited Duke, but they broke the losing streak with a mid-week wins against Valparaiso and Purdue Fort Wayne.

The three game set will begin Friday night at 5pm EST with ace John Michael Bertrand on the mound. Austin Temple is scheduled to start game two with the game three starter yet to be announced.

Good news for the Irish is that since Jarrett took over, they’ve been a sparkling 25-7 at home. They’re third overall in fielding percentage in all of the NCAA, while being seventh in WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). The ERA is tenth nationally and second in the ACC at 3.40.

All three games are set to be played at Frank Eck Stadium and will be broadcasted on the ACC Network.

There were multiple stars in todays contest, but the biggest two where pitchers Christian Scafidi and Alex Rao. Obviously the shut out Wake Forest, but they combined to allow just 4 hits and 4 walks while striking out 7 batters.

Offensively, it was a two-headed monster of right fielder Brooks Coetzee and catcher David LaManna, as they drive in 8 total runs. LaManna and second baseman Jared Miller each had 3 hits to lead the team, while Coetzee and DH Carter Putz had 2 hits a piece.
