ND Baseball!

ND is starting to put it on Pitt in the rubber match of the series.

[BabyIrish]

The 12th ranked Irish were down 7-0 early to 14th ranked Georgia Tech. And they came all the way back to win a thriller 10-9. Congratulations boys! Keep it going

[tko]

Irish with a 7-0 shutout today and another ACC series win. Let's make it a sweep tomorrow.

When watching yesterday's Lacrosse game I saw Swarbrick hug the head coach...how about he go and hug Link and sign him to a long term extension.

[clashmore_mike]

Irish are all the way up to #7 in this poll. Pretty amazing how far they've come in a year.

[irishandy]

Very well deserved. All the highlights I've seen, this team looks good.

[irishff1014]

This team is balling.

[Irish#1]

Love it

[Irishize]

Is this technically Link’s first season? I know last year didn’t amount to anything due to COVID. He’s really made an instant impact in both coaching and recruiting. I can’t remember last time they were ranked this high or even last time they made it to the dance.

[GowerND11]

Won the weekend series against NC St

[Cackalacky2.0]

#6 baby

[irishandy]

Is this the highest they've been ranked?

[Irishize]

ND hasn’t lost a series yet this season. Can’t remember them being ranked this high this late in the season.

[dublinirish]

Local kid here, ND baseball commit David Lally who is a Pitcher out of Grand Blanc, 96 MPH fastball lol

if memory is correct, about 2001 they had a great team and i believe were ranked #2 at some point...just checked, i was correct but they finished #15, 2002-finished ranked at 7 or 6 depending on which poll....2001-2006 ND was legit in the baseball world and then got extremely stale for a good many years until last year

Makes sense as that was the Mainieri era before he left for LSU. 2002 was the last time ND made the CWS.

[clashmore_mike]

Good bounce back in game 1 of today's double header after laying an egg last night at BC. Kavadas hit his 14th HR of the year in the 9th to give them some insurance runs. He freaking mashes the ball.

[clashmore_mike]

[stpeteirish]

2nd game of the DH is something to behold. Irish just scored 10 runs in the top of the 8th to erase a 9-1 deficit.

Looks like Clashmore beat me to it.

[clashmore_mike]

And now a straight steal of home. 11-9 Irish.

[clashmore_mike]

Damn, just missed a grand slam, 2 more runs score. What an inning.

[Cackalacky2.0]

Ranked #2

[notredomer23]

I hope Swarbrick has a blank check ready

[clashmore_mike]

Damn, what a year they are having. Currently own a 4 game lead in the ACC standings with 2 series left. They set a program record for runs scored in an ACC game yesterday and have won 6 in a row as well. I'm pretty sure they lead the nation in fielding percentage too, just an all around solid team.

[Irishize]

Can’t wait for the CWS.

[Cackalacky2.0]

Dropped down to #4 with their first lost series of the season against FSU. Interesting enough the RPI index has ND at 13.

Is that in the Baseball America poll? BA seems to rank ND higher than the other polls but at last look they were within the top 10 in all polls. They probably won’t make it to Omaha but what a great run in year one w/ Jarrett.

[clashmore_mike]

That was a frustrating series to watch. They had a lo of chances on Friday night, I believe they loaded the bases twice with 0 or 1 out and only scored 1 run in the first. FSU's pitcher was keeping them off balance with a lot of off speed stuff and ND just couldn't get the big hit when they needed it. Looks like they still have a 2 game lead over Georgia Tech for the overall best ACC record.

[clashmore_mike]

I also saw this today, which is good news. Bertrand has been they most consistent starter this year.

They totally let the FSU pitcher off the hook and then he starting dealing. They brought in Anderson and it was lights out. I think overall the FSU pitchers, who are very strong, were on point all weekend. ND should've saved a few runs from the UNC series!!!!!

[clashmore_mike]

I didn't realize they were picked to finish last in the division...

[Irish#1]

Well done gents. Don't stop now.

[BabyIrish]

The ND softball team just trounced Kentucky, the top seed in the regional, and is one win away from the super regionals

[clashmore_mike]

ND will start ACC pool play as the #1 seed against Virginia and Virginia Tech.

[Luckylucci]

What an incredible job Link Jarrett has done with the program. And, it sounds like with this recruiting they should continue on this trend.

Considering ND football recruits some dual sport (baseball) players, this can only benefit those future recruitments.

[clashmore_mike]

Got a big shutout win in the ACC opener last night over Va Tech.

[Irish#1]

Keep that train rolling.

[BabyIrish]

Louisville was upset today in the quarterfinals. Let’s go get the trophy!

[clashmore_mike]

Not Bertrand's best outing...

[clashmore_mike]

Final score ended up 14-1, ending ND's ACC tournament. NCAA tournament selection is Sunday.

[Luckylucci]

Rough end to the ACC tournament but hopefully they regroup and play better in the tourney.

[Cackalacky2.0]

Worst game of the season. Unfortunate.

[tko]

Paul Mainieri retiring

Paul Mainieri retiring

He followed a legend. At least he won one Natty.

[Cackalacky2.0]

So great. Hosting a regional.

[Luckylucci]

Very cool indeed.
