Simon Baumgardt drove in three runs with a single and a sacrifice fly to help Notre Dame continue its late-season surge as the host Irish edged Toledo, 6-5, Friday night at Eck Stadium in the first game of a three-game non-conference baseball series.
Notre Dame (26-21), coming off final exams week, has won six of its last seven games and 11 of 14.
Lefty Ricky Reeth (2-4) got the win with three innings of shutout relief after the Irish fell behind early, 3-1. He allowed two hits and walked two while striking out five. Nate Hardman pitched a hitless ninth for his sixth save.
Toledo (24-26) hit three home runs in the game, two from Garret Pike.
The Irish, meanwhile, made the most of their six hits, only one of which went for extra bases — Conor Hincks’ first-inning double that plated David Glancy. Hincks reached base all four times he came to the plate, also collecting a single and reaching twice as a hit batsman.
Brady Gumpf drove in a pair of runs with a single. The two teams meet in game two Saturday at 2 p.m. EDT.
