In a matchup of the 291st-best hitting team in Division I college baseball and No, 292 Notre Dame, the Irish did enough offensively to fend off Butler, 4-0, Tuesday at Eck Stadium.
Jackson Dennies pitched four no-hit innings for the Irish (13-9), winners of five of their last six games. Aidan Tyrell (4-1) got the win with four innings of two-hit ball, with freshman Caden Spivey hurling a hitless ninth and lowering his ERA to 1.00.
Jack Penney scored on an error in the bottom of the first, and Jack Zyska’s sacrifice fly plated Zack Prajzner as ND took an early 2-0 lead over the visiting Bulldogs (5-19). Danny Neri added a two-run single in the sixth.
Irish right fielder Brooks Coetzee singled and was hit by a pitch, his nation’s leading 19th this season. Carter Putz had the lone extra-base hit among the five Irish hits, with a double.
Next up for Notre Dame is a three-game home series with 13th-ranked North Carolina (18-6, 4-3 ACC) beginning Friday at 6 p.m. EDT at Eck Stadium.
