Friday afternoon went exactly how Notre Dame baseball wanted to start its weekend, and it made it even sweeter beating former head coach Link Jarrett and No. 4 Florida State 16-9 in Frank Eck Stadium.
The Irish trailed 4-2 entering the bottom of the sixth, then erupted for 5-runs to take a lead they would never relinquish. Notre Dame’s offense didn’t let up, as they scored another run in the seventh, and capped off the huge win with a big 8-run eighth inning.
Offensively, it was catcher Carson Tinney leading the way, going 2-for-3 with a homer, 4 RBI and two walks.
