2 After 5 FIVE THINGS TO KNOW The Notre Dame baseball team concludes an eight-game home stand this weekend as NC State visits for a threegame series. The Irish host the Wolfpack at 6:05 p.m. on Friday, 4:05 p.m. on Saturday and 1:05 pm. on Sunday. All three games can be seen on ACC Network Extra and heard on WatchND. NC State leads the all-time series with Notre Dame 8-3. The teams only met once prior to Notre Dame s ACC membership for the 2014 season, with the Wolfpack winning a 10-8 decision in Orlando, Florida. NC State swept a three-game set in 2014 in Raleigh, before the Irish won two-of-three in 2015 at Frank Eck Stadium. NC State also took a 3-0 win at the ACC tournament that year in Durham, North Carolina. Last season, NC State won two-of-three games in Raleigh, winning games one (9-1) and three (16-6), while the Irish won game two, 8-4, in 12 innings. The San Diego State game on Feb. 25 saw head coach Mik Aoki shuffle his infield after the Irish started 1-5 while committing 15 errors in six games. Since putting Kyle Fiala at third, Cole Daily at shortstop, Nick Podkul at second and Daniel Jung at first, the Irish are 7-10 while making 18 errors in 17 games. The defense has been especially strong since the start of ACC play, with Notre Dame playing errorless baseball in six of the nine conference games. earning Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America honors a season ago, Matt Vierling has emerged as one of the most versatile players in the country this season. In addition to a.310 average and team-best 18 RBI, he boasts Notre Dame s longest on-base streak of the year with a 13-game streak that ended against Chicago State. Meanwhile the starting center fielder has become Mik Aoki s go-to on the mound in late-game situations. Vierling has made six appearances on the season, earning a pair of saves and a win while allowing three earned runs in eight innings of work. Nick Podkul enters the NC State series with Notre Dame s longest active on-base streak, having reaching in the last 11 games. He has moved into second on the team with a.315 average, trailing only Daniel Jung s.322. He s become the latest option in the leadoff spot for Aoki, topping the batting order the last two games, going 2-6 with a run scored in that spot.

4 THINGS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW Home Sweet Home Fiala Goes the Distance Watch These Guys Irish in the Summertime Notre Dame played its first home ACC series of the year in week three of conference play against Florida State. Notre Dame and Boston College were the last to play conference home games, with the Eagles playing host to Clemson the same weekend. When Notre Dame opened its home season on Tuesday with a 12-1 over Northern Illinois, it became the fifth-last Power Five Conference team to play a home game. The only teams in the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12 and Pac-12 to open at home later were BC (March 24), West Virginia (March 24), Penn State (March 24) and Purdue (March 28). Senior co-captain Kyle Fiala led the Irish in a 7-6 loss to San Diego State (Feb. 25). Fiala was 4-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run to cap a five-run seventh inning which gave the Irish the lead. He became the first Notre Dame player to make the 360-foot sprint for a score since Cavan Biggio on February 18, 2016, at Santa Clara in the season-opener. Prior to Biggio, the last Irish player with an inside-the-park home run was David Mills at West Virginia in When Peter Solmon takes the bump to throw to Ryan Lidge, the Irish battery is worth watching. Solomon has been named to USA Baseball s Golden Spikes Award Watch List, with that honor going to the nation s best amateur baseball player each year. Lidge, meanwhile, has been named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List, which is given annually to the best collegiate catcher in the country. Several Irish players made strides towards a future in professional baseball over the summer. Peter Solomon and Brandon Bielak were named Cape Cod League All-Stars, while Brad Bass and Sean Guenther also had outstanding summers on the Cape. Jake Shepski was an all-star in the Northwoods League, while Eric Feliz was picked to be an all-star in the Futures Collegiate Baseball league.
