7-3 with 3 outs to go 🤞🏼

IrishBoognish · Jun 17, 2022

this is terribly exciting.

T-Boone · Jun 17, 2022

Would the football team be there?

ACamp1900 · Jun 17, 2022

Five more wins

dad4aa · Jun 17, 2022

Great game. Oklahoma is next.

BabyIrish · Jun 17, 2022

It’s been pretty impressive to see our pitching staff dominate two of the best hitting teams in CBB

Ndaccountant · Jun 17, 2022

Beautiful

SaltyND24 · Jun 17, 2022

Great win to start it out! Win the next game and we have ourselves a great chance at securing a spot in the finals!

dad4aa · Jun 17, 2022

What is the farthest ND has gone?

Cackalacky2.0 · Jun 17, 2022

According to Wikipedia we finished 4th in ‘57 and 5th in ‘02

Chicago Domer · Jun 17, 2022

With that win it guarantees a top 5/6 finish.

Irishokie · Jun 17, 2022

Go Irish! Beat those okies!!

BabyIrish · Jun 17, 2022

This is also the first time we have won our first game in the CWS. The two previous we had lost.

arndtjc · Jun 17, 2022

Damn that was fun. Can’t wait to do it again Sunday night

very few fans at the game right now just like game 1 earlier but the high 90s temps might have something to do with if i had to guess

The lines to get into the stadium at first pitch were insane. It’s been a problem since the stadium first opened and they just haven’t quite been able to figure it out. Filled in quite nice after about the second inning

DCDomer · Jun 18, 2022

What a day. Omaha is a hidden gem. Old Market is an awesome neighborhood and the locals are extremely helpful.

I'd suggest it to anyone

One of my buddies didn’t get in until after the game started due to long lines. He said SRO & General Admission were sold out.

Is it better or worse than Louisville's football stadium? That was an awful setup!

So ill admit it... I dont really pay attention to anything but ND football.

I guess it was how I was raised.

But for the past few years... I've been pretty into ND baseball and I have no idea what the College World Series looks like... especially with one win from a team I love.

So... I know it's double elimination and we just won.

Someone wanna help me out here? What now?

Lol

They play until someone is double eliminated

So we are in a four team group with Oklahoma Texas and Texas A&M. We move on to play Oklahoma on Sunday. Texas and A&M play each other as well. The team that loses between them will be eliminated. The winner of that game goes on to play the loser of our game, OU and ND. So if UT beats A&M and we beat OU then UT plays OU with A&M eliminated.

Then the winner of that game (for example OU beats UT) goes on to play ND and the loser (for example UT) would be eliminated. Then OU would have to beat us twice to move on the championship series where we would only have to beat them once. Hope that makes sense lol.

This Findley kid has been fantastic but I can't figure out how he gets people out. He only has one pitch, a 89-90ish fastball. It appears pretty straight on TV. Tenn and Texas are two of the best hitting teams in CBB, if not the two best and he's mowing them down.

Whatever he's doing its working. Link is a friggin genius, if there was ever a team this is the byproduct of great coaching its this one.

It’s not so much the speed or movement, it’s the rotation. I think they remarked on the broadcast about Findlay’s spin rate. I saw him pop at 92 a couple times last night, but a 92 mph fastball with a high spin rate I think if I recall can make the ball appear to be rising and make it harder to barrel up.

It’s probably what makes him more effective as a reliever. A couple times through the order seeing him, quality hitters could probably figure out the nuance to his fastball.

Yup. High spin rate fastball located consistently in the top part of the zone. Very hard to hit.

If there is a team I wouldn't want to face in this year's CWS it would be Notre Dame. Great win for this team last night!

I don't like all this speculation that Link is gone after this season, is it 100% for sure he is gone?

Not 100%. But ND keeping Link from FSU would be a much bigger shock than ND beating Tennessee.

If you ever did a little league all star tourney it’s exactly like that,… basically win as many in a row as you can to stay in the winners bracket

Agreed. To me no matter what the outcome is in the CWS keeping Link is most important.
