Notre Dame Baseball Makes a Huge Statement with Series Win over #9 LSU

At this point, LSU probably doesn’t want to see Notre Dame on their schedule in any sport. For the first time since 1999 LSU lost their opening series. That team was Texas, a perennial baseball power, not a team picked to finish last in their division as the Irish were.

The Irish didn’t just squeak two wins out of this three game set either. They won convincingly and damn near swept the series.

In game one, the Irish took a 6-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth. 5th year southpaw, Scott Tully, finally ran out of gas, loaded up the bases, and surrendered a grand slam.
