(Notre Dame, IN) It's Blue-Gold football weekend at Notre Dame, and in addition to the Irish football team's annual scrimmage tomorrow, two teams wearing blue and gold are going head-to-head on the baseball diamond this weekend.
Notre Dame is hosting West Virginia, and this is actually the third straight year these two teams have meet during the Blue-Gold football weekend. Two years ago they played here at Notre Dame, and in 2008 they met in Morgantown, WV. WVU hosted its spring game on Saturday last year, and Notre Dame played its spring game that same day. The Irish won two of three games both times.
This is an important three-game series for both teams. West Virginia (27-7, 10-2)is tied with USF atop the Big East Conference standings, while the Irish (20-13, 6-6) need at least a couple wins to stay in contention for a spot in the 8-team Big East Championship next month.
One of the top pitchers in the league, Cole Johnson (4-0, 2.30 ERA), is on the mound for the Irish tonight, but WVU has runners at first and third with no outs in the top of the 1st as I clack away at the keyboard. I'll be checking-in on the blog throughout tonight's game.
