PROBABLE STARTERS
 

WHAT TO WATCH 

- Notre Dame was sloppy on Thursday afternoon and fell 15-5 in the series opener. 

- The Irish pitchers struggled to throw strikes in game one as they issued seven walks and had three wild pitches while striking out just six. 

- Duke catcher Andrew Yu went 4-for-5 with 2 RBI and Alex Mooney finished 3-for-4 with 3 RBI and two doubles and two walks. Not bad for true freshmen. 

- The good news for Notre Dame is ace John Michael Bertrand will take the mound on Friday as the Irish look to even the series. Bertrand enters today leading the ACC in ERA (1.53), so there’s a good chance Duke won’t have 16 hits on Friday.
