Just a month ago, it looked like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team was destined to finish in the basement of the ACC. Since April 15th, however, the Irish have gone 10-2 overall and 8-1 in ACC play. In Notre Dame’s last ACC series, the Irish split the first two games against the #17 ranked Louisville Cardinals, and won the rubber match on Sunday to make it 3 ACC series wins in a row.
It was somewhat easy to dismiss the sweeps against Stanford and Cal, but that series win over Louisville really made a statement that the Irish are much better than they were to start the year — and maybe they’re ready to make some noise in the postseason.
