SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame softball team (17-25, 6-12 ACC) fell in Sunday’s rubber match to Louisville (34-9, 10-5 ACC) 13-5 in seven innings at Melissa Cook Stadium.
Freshman Lily Hagan continued to breakout, as the Colts Neck, New Jersey native hit two homers on the day, both of the two-run variety. The long balls represented the fifth and sixth homers of the year for Hagan, a team-high after also homering yesterday. It marked back-to-back weekends that Hagan has had multiple home runs in a game after doing so against Florida State last Thursday. She’s homered in five of her last 17 at bats.
As a team, Notre Dame collected 11 hits and only struck out three times in 32 at bats. Four Irish had multi-hit games (Hagan, Caroline O’Brien, Ava Zachary and Sydny Poeck). Zachary also notched an RBI, pushing her season total to 23.
Notre Dame will look to turn the page this upcoming week with five games on the docket, starting off Tuesday night at Indiana. First pitch is set for 6:00 p.m. ET on Big Ten Plus.
