Final Update:
It was a pitcher's duel...for almost 4 innings...we got a solo HR from Yoyo...a 2 more HRs from true FR Gutierrez for 5 RBIs and that spelled the difference after ND nailed a 3-run shot in the top of the 9th to make it close...but not close enough...

Hello. Caniacs...
Happy Friday...almost!
We start the last regular season series, and for UM I say the most important, a day early thanks to the start of the ACC tournament next Tuesday in Charlotte.
We welcome No, 14 Notre Dame to The Light for the first of a 3-game series. We may be ranked higher but ND is playing batter. U can see their record below. They're on a 1-game winning streak after whipping Northwestern 14-7 in 7 innings 2 days ago. Prior to that, they won 5 in a row before losing Game 3 to Pitt at home, 5-2.
