The final series of the early season road trip for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team was a tough one, a visit to the #4 ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons for an ACC matchup. A double header on Saturday was swept by Wake Forest, with Notre Dame doing enough in game one to hang around before losing a lopsided game two. They were able to take the positives into the third game on Sunday and avoid the sweep, coming away with one win out of three.
Game 1: Notre Dame 1 (8-7, 1-3) - Wake Forest 4 (17-2, 3-1)
Win: Rhett Lowder, WF (4-0)
Loss: Jackson Dennies, ND (0-2)
Save: Camden Minacci, WF (5)
Wake Forest was the first team to score in game one, scoring once in the bottom half of the second inning on a solo home run.
