Niko Kavadas connected on two of Notre Dame's four home runs and the Irish beat Central Michigan 10-0 on Friday to start the South Bend Regional. Kavadas hit a two-run homer in a three-run fourth and he did the same to spark a six-run sixth. Ryan Cole and David LaManna also homered for Notre Dame (31-11).
Hitting The Road
The Irish are taking to the road for their final road trip of the regular season and final conference series of the year.
The Irish are set to close out the ACC slate with a three-game series in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech.
The Irish are making their first trip to Blacksburg since 2016 and hold a 14-9 all-time record against the Hokies.
The series history is tied at 3-3 in games in Blacksburg but the Irish swept the three game series against the Hokies in 2016 and have won the last two series against the Hokies all-time.
Virginia Tech enters the series with a 27-20 record and are 16-17 in ACC play. This past weekend, the Hokies dropped two of three games on the road against Duke.
