Notre Dame had a rough first ACC series of the season at Wake Forest. Last weekend, the Fighting Irish were shelled by the Demon Deacons in a three-game sweep. Wake Forest scored 36 runs to Notre Dame\u2019s 11. The Irish were run-ruled twice, once in seven innings and in eight innings in the series finale.<\/p>\n
They got right this week in Rock Hill, S.C. <\/p>\n
The Irish beat Winthrop 6-3 on Tuesday and 12-3 on Wednesday to improve their overall record this season to 10-4. Head coach Shawn Stiffler\u2019s team only needed three pitchers to get through Tuesday\u2019s game, and the Irish scored half a dozen runs on as many hits in an efficient day at the plate. <\/p>\n
Wednesday, the Irish also had as many hits as runs \u2014 a dozen. Stiffler put eight arms on the mound since the game got out of hand early; it was 6-0 in the third and 11-0 by the middle of the sixth. <\/p>\n
The Irish will stay in South Carolina to face Clemson in a weekend series starting Friday. The Tigers are off to a 17-1 blistering start to the season. They haven\u2019t lost since suffering a defeat to Ole Miss in the Shriners Children\u2019s College Showdown in Arlington, Texas, on Feb. 16. That streak of 15 wins in a row includes a three-game sweep of South Carolina in games played in Clemson, Greenville and Columbia. <\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s first pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Saturday\u2019s gets going at 3 p.m. ET, and Sunday\u2019s series finale starts at noon ET. All games can be seen on ACCNX. <\/p>\n
