SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame softball team hosts the Boston College Eagles this weekend in the final home series of the 2024 season. The Fighting Irish and Eagles will play Friday at 3 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and the series will conclude Sunday at 2 p.m. on the ACC Network.
This weekend will also be senior weekend as the academic senior class of Cassidy Grimm, Bryn Boznanski, Karina Gaskins, Mac Vasquez, Carlli Kloss and Mikayla LaPlaca will be recognized prior to the start of Saturday’s contest.
The Irish enter the weekend winning back-to-back games by one run each. Notre Dame battled back to earn the walkoff win over Clemson Sunday night before getting a shutout, 1-0 win over UIC Wednesday evening at Melissa Cook Stadium. The win over Clemson snapped a six-game losing skid, the longest for the program since 2007, when the Irish lost seven straight.
Boston College enters having dropped seven consecutive games leading into this weekend. The Eagles are 25-20 overall and 5-13 in the ACC, dropping six-straight to Virginia Tech and Florida State. In their midweek with UConn, the Eagles narrowly dropped the matchup 5-4, allowing three runs in the fifth inning.
This weekend’s series will have live stats available for all three games. Friday and Saturday’s games will be streamed on ACC Network Extra, with Sunday’s finale being on ACC Network. Carol Bruggeman and Mark Neely will be on the call Sunday.
