Notre Dame's Comeback Bid Comes Up Short Against #17 Stanford

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Notre Dame Softball team fell to 17th-ranked Stanford on Saturday 2-6 at Melissa Cook Stadium. The Irish are now 13-18 on the year and 2-6 in conference play.

The Notre Dame pitching staff only allowed one earned run on the day. In relief, Kami Kamzik was great, throwing three scoreless innings and striking out four to keep the Irish in the game late. Weiss lowered her team-best ERA to 3.31 after going four innings pitched with the single earned run.

Notre Dame put two on the board in the bottom of the fifth courtesy of an RBI double from Anna Holloway, her third double of the season, and an RBI single from Emily Tran to score Holloway from second. Tran now has hits in back-to-back games and four of her last five.

The Irish will look to salvage the series tomorrow at noon in the finale. The game was moved up from a 6 p.m. start due to weather conditions tomorrow evening. With the women’s basketball game beginning at 1 p.m., please be advised that there will be traffic around campus tomorrow.
