The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to play in the South Bend Regional Championship of the 2021 NCAA Baseball Tournament. Standing in their way are the Central Michigan Chippewas who advanced out of the loser’s bracket with a 14-9 win over the UConn Huskies.
The Irish have been absolutely dominant in their two tournament games so far. They shutout CMU in the first game 10-0, and then went bombs away with home run after home run (with a Niko Kavadas grand slam in that mix) on UConn on Saturday with a 26-3 victory.
The Irish set a postseason program record with 26 runs scored!
