Entering the weekend, Notre Dame baseball hadn’t taken a series from Louisville since 2009. The Cardinals made four College World Series appearances during that stretch and are currently among the nation’s top ten again. Despite the circumstances, the Irish ended the 14-year drought, stealing two of three from the sixth-ranked team in America at home to move to 12-9 and 4-5 in ACC play. The series featured three one-run contests, two come-from-behind Irish victories and a game with five total home runs.
Notre Dame baseball is heading into a weekend of heated ACC play at home against No. 6 Louisville. The Irish enter the game with a respectable 10-8 overall record, but a less-than-stellar 2-4 conference mark. The Cardinals will come to South Bend with a dominating 18-2 season record, starting 2-1 in the ACC. For a team with high expectations after last year’s College World Series run, this weekend has definitely been circled in the Irish clubhouse for some time.
