Are we gonna talk a little baseball on this board as ND
navigates the CWS? I think we should without being relegated to the Open. If not, dear ops, please build a Baseball Forum stat.

Here's a link to support the program.
And by support, I mean keep the HC and build a real baseball facility.

All I know is ND is playing in Omaha. No other word as of yet. Can someone post info?
(no message)
They open with Texas on Friday night, 7pm.
Texas was the preseason #1 team. They have underachieved most of the season, but they have some serious dudes in that lineup.
Omaha is a much larger park than your average college stadium, so ND won't be able to poke out HR's at 280 to keep it close.
...and then play Sunday at 2 or 7 pm, depending on whether loser or winner.
Win would be sweet. Would make my fathers day lineup: golf with the kids, U.S. Open final round, dinner, watch Irish baseball.
It's also set up ass backwards, so balls dont
leave park easily. That caused big brewhaha couple years ago
Yikes - I watched game 1 and 2 of their games vs ECU. They didn't appear to be a good fielding team.
ECU made a ton of errors.
I'll be watching
Thanks for the update.

Even down the line in right? Come on that was at least 306 feet and an inch or more. Great piece of hitting by the catcher in that situation. I don't care about the distance. He went with the pitch and hit it hard.
It was a line drive that got loose. Excellent
piece of hitting
