A late surge by the Hokies overturns a promising start for the Fighting Irish, culminating in a 17-10 loss that caps their 2026 season.

In a tightly contested opening game of the 2026 ACC Baseball Championship, Notre Dame defeated Clemson 5-4 in Charlotte, with Lee delivering three extra-base hits and two RBIs.
Notre Dame’s 5‑4 victory over Clemson marks the program’s first ACC tournament win under coach Shawn Stiffler, highlighted by Lee’s three extra‑base hits and a combined eight‑out bullpen effort that now eyes a matchup with seventh‑seeded Virginia Tech.

After a 30‑21 regular season, the Irish rely on a potent lineup led by Mark Quatrani and a pitching staff anchored by Jack Radel, aiming to translate early‑season dominance into ACC success.
