GREENSBORO, N.C. – A tough day in Greensboro as the Irish dropped game two of the three-game series in a 12-0 loss to UNCG on Saturday evening. Notre Dame falls to 2-3 on the year with a chance to take home the series in tomorrow’s rubber match.
How it happened
Junior TJ Williams had the first hit of the day for the Irish with a ground rule double to left center on the very first pitch of the game. While the Irish worked to get the offense going, Williams recorded one of just three hits on the day for the Irish. Sophomore DM Jefferson singled to second base in the top of third, with grad student Zack Prajzner adding a double down the third base line in the top of the sixth.
Junior Jackson Dennies made his second start of the season and finished with his first loss of the year after throwing the first two innings. Freshman Rory Fox would pitch the third and fourth innings, recording a career-high four strikeouts.
Justin Moore, a graduate transfer from Stanford, took the mound and threw two innings for the first time in an Irish uniform and was relieved by freshman David Lally Jr. Sophomore Ricky Reeth made his debut on the mound, finishing with two strikeouts in just one inning.
UNCG would go on to score in seven innings with a high of three runs scored in the bottom of the seventh.
