B a s e b a l l Dedawing the Cougars

By MICHAEL BRYAN Sports W riter

Entering Tuesday’s game ranked for the first time this season, No. 24 Notre Dame looked every bit a top-25 team in a 12-2 route of Chicago State at Eck Stadium. Freshman Brian Dupra gave up just two runs in seven innings and the Irish offense exploded for seven extra base hits in the win, including three homeruns. Chicago State entered the away game with a woeful 4-32 record, but the Cougars hung with the Big East leading Notre Dame through the first four innings. “This is probably the best Chicago State team I’ve played against in ten years, ” Irish coach Dave Schrage said. “I give them a lot of credit.” Notre Dame manufactured a run with some small ball in the bottom of the first, beginning with senior leaded' hitter Brett Lilley getting plunked by the 100th hit by pitch of his career. The shortstop then stole third base after advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore designated hit­ ter David Mills. Sophomore outfielder A.J. Pollock then lined a pitch into centerfield to drive home Lilley and put the Irish on the board I -0. Cougars senior pitcher Chris Goya managed to keep Notre Dame quiet for the next three innings, and appeared to be in contention for his first win of the season with his team only down a run. The Irish broke through against Goya in the fifth, howev­ er, punishing the Chicago State pitcher with three extra- base hits. Freshman catcher Cameron McConnell doubled to load off the inning, and Lilley then blasted the first pitch from Goya over the right field fence for his second homer of the year.
