SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Irish fell to the Florida State Seminoles at Frank Eck Stadium on Friday, April 28 in game one of the three-game series. Notre Dame is now 23-17 on the year and 11-11 in the ACC after falling 3-2 tonight.
HOW IT HAPPENED
It was a scoreless ballgame through the first two innings until the Seminoles recorded two runs in the top of the third to take the early 2-0 advantage. Estevan Moreno put the Irish on the board in the bottom of the fifth as he homered to deep left field. His seventh home run of the season closed the gap to 2-1 heading into the sixth.
The Seminoles tacked on another run in the top of the seventh to extend the lead to 3-1. The Irish responded in the bottom of the inning with a double from Brooks Coetzee to get the offense started. Moreno followed with an RBI single to score Coetzee and make it a 3-2 ballgame. The freshman second baseman led the Irish tonight with two hits, two RBI, and one run.
While the Notre Dame defense held Florida State scoreless in the eighth and ninth, going three up, three down in both frames, the Irish offense struggled to get going at the plate as the Irish fell 3-2 in game one.
