It’s fitting on St. Patrick’s Day, the team named the Fighting Irish got a little bit of luck in the 10th inning to beat 12th-ranked Clemson on Sunday.
With the bases load and one out, Brooks Coetzee barely got the baseball past Clemson pitcher Carson Spiers to avoid the double-play, while allowing Carter Putz to come home with the eventual game-winning run in a 4-2 victory at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
The Irish’s luck continued when Jared Miller’s double-play ball to short was overturned after he out ran the throw to first.
