They Ding It In West Virginia

(Notre Dame, IN) When I was with Notre Dame in Morgantown, WV last year, a Mountaineer fan told me "We ding it around here!" West Virginia didn't really "ding it" that weekend as the Irish took two out of three games, while limiting the home run hungry Mountaineers to four home runs in the 3-game series. The Irish won two of the three games, and three of the WVU home runs came in the series finale, which ND won 9-4.

West Virginia has been dinging it so far tonight though. It now leads Notre Dame 7-2 after Jedd Gyorko, the reigning Big East Rookie of the Year, hit a 3-run opposite field home run into the trees beyond the right field wall.

Blue-Gold weekend has traditionally produced some of the top crowds in Notre Dame baseball history, and there's a big crowd on hand here tonight as well. I'll be looking back at some of the top crowds and memorable Blue-Gold weekend baseball moments shortly.
