Jack Penney homered twice, doubled and drove in five runs as the Notre Dame baseball team won for the seventh time in the past eight games Saturday with an 8-2 non-conference home victory over Toledo.
The Irish (27-21) go for the three-game sweep of the series with the Rockets (24-27) at Eck Stadium in the final home game of the season, Sunday at 1 p.m. (EDT).
Penney also walked and scored two runs. Brady Gumpf drove in two with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly. Simon Baumgardt, the big bat in Friday’s 6-5 win, had an RBI single on Saturday. David Glancy had two hits and scored two runs.
With the Irish’s three homers Saturday, they set the program record for single-season home runs, currently at 81 on the year (The 2022 College World Series team single-season record was set at 79).
Matt Bedford (3-6) pitched five strong innings for the win. Bennett Flynn stuck out seven in his four innings of relief and picked up his third save.
After Sunday’s game, the Irish hit the road for a non-conference Tuesday night matchup at Butler before trying to clinch a spot in the 12-team ACC Tournament (May 21-26) in their final ACC series of the season, at Louisville, Friday through Sunday.
