Irish suffer extra-inning loss at Wrigley Field

·

For a team with sky-high postseason hopes, Notre Dame baseball has endured a rough go in midweek play over the last month. Entering the regular season’s final week, the Irish had gone 2-2 in such games since Easter, dropping two winnable contests to Michigan State. But Tuesday represented a chance to put those concerns to bed. Playing at historic Wrigley Field, coming off the momentum of finishing a hard-fought sweep on Degree Day and facing a floundering Northwestern ball club, all signs pointed to a statement victory from Notre Dame.

Irish spoil Link Jarrett’s return with dynamic series win

·

Notre Dame baseball was in a tough spot after Friday night’s game. After sweeping then-No. 8 Virginia and climbing 17 spots in the RPI rankings, the team had just dropped two winnable games — first at Michigan State, then at home against Florida State. With a time change for Saturday’s game, the Irish had just 15 hours to get right and avoid a losing streak.
