Notre Dame baseball fans will have several options for tracking the 2007 season on a game-by-game basis, through live-audio broadcasts, GameTracker live stats, free Irish Alert text messages and the ND Sports Hotline (plus potential live streaming video):

* Sean Stires returns as the primary radio play-by-play voice for Notre Dame baseball, to be aired live on ESPN Radio 1490 AM, with some broadcasts on 1620 (ND baseball is part of a small percentage of programs in the nation with its entire season airing live on a commercial station). All games are streamed live on und.com, with the links posted on the lower left corner of the und.com main page. The online broadcasts are free of charge, as part of Fighting Irish All-Access (which includes archives or all audio and video content). To sign up for All-Access – free of charge, visit the following link: All-Access Sign Up

* Irish ALERT free text-message updates are available to your cell phone or other mobile device. Updates typically are sent three times a game. To sign up, see the following link (you also may sign up for text updates on other ND sports): Irish ALERT Sign Up

* GameTracker live stats are provided for all home games and most road games (based on phone-line availability). When Notre Dame is on the road, the home team typically provides the live stats – with bonus GameTracker stats also provided by the Notre Dame SID office for select road games.

* The Notre Dame Sports Hotline provides a recap of each game and often will include special in-game updates for postseason action (or for doubleheader days). To access the hotline, call 574-631-3000, choose option 4 (for baseball/softball) and then press “1” for the baseball recap. The hotline will be realigned for the winter/spring format later this week, prior to the season opener.

* In-game/postgame video offerings (details still are being finalized – stay tuned to und.com for possible video options).
