Following one of the most successful season in program history, one of the biggest questions facing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team this season is how they follow that up with a new head coach. The first answer to that question, not so good, as Notre Dame opened travelling for a series with the Lipscomb Bisons, losing two of their first three games.
Game 1: Notre Dame 4 (0-1) - Lipscomb 5 (1-0)
Win: Alex Brewer, LU (1-0)
Loss: Blake Hely, ND (0-1)
Save: Matthrew Bonnert, LU (1)
Lipscomb started things early, scoring one run in the first and two more in the third inning, chasing Irish starter Blake Hely from the game.
