Notre Dame isn’t a great team, but they’re a team that makes the most of the opportunities that they do get. That’s what they did on Friday night, while NC State did not, and that was the story of the game in a 5-4 Notre Dame win.
The Fighting Irish had two innings with two or more men on base (loaded the bases in the 2nd, two men on in the 7th)... they scored four of their five runs in those two innings, with a pair of runs in each inning. The Wolfpack had two innings with two or more men on base (two men on in the 3rd, bases loaded in the 6th).
