Notre Dame's Two Hits Beat Michigan State
The 3rd ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame were held to just TWO HITS yesterday in their game vs. Michigan State -- but, the TRIPLE and HOME RUN did the trick!
Additional facts: Notre Dame did not strike out. They walked (twice) or, put it in play. Which makes "only two hits" quite surprising. And, I'll bet Notre Dame does not have another game like this all season when they only had 27 at bats in 8 innings.
Truly shocked (and IMPRESSED) we won a game like this.
