Notre Dame Stays Too Hot In Day Two
After a scoreless first inning, Notre Dame exploded for five runs in the second and third inning. The second inning was a combination of hits and base running for the Fighting Irish as the first run came on a throwing error in a rundown to allow a runner to score from third. Notre Dame then scored four more runs on two singles and a double to take a 5-0 lead after two.

The bats stayed hot in the third as a single and two doubles drove in five runs to double the lead. The Fighting Irish weren't done in the fourth, launching a homer to straightaway center, extending the lead two 12.
