Notre Dame baseball begins season today, announces starting rotation
Year two of the Shawn Stiffler era of Notre Dame baseball is set to begin on Friday evening as they will travel to Houston, Texas to take on the Rice Owls.
Stiffler’s first season saw the Irish struggle compared to recent years, as they failed to make the NCAA Tournament and finished with a 30-24 record. The hope is that the tide will turn during this season.
Like many baseball teams do, they will rely on their starting rotation to lead the way and Notre Dame announced its three starters for the series against the Owls.
Caden Spivey will get the start on Friday, followed by Jackson Dennies going on Saturday and Matt Bedford in the finale on Sunday.

Dennies is the veteran of the group, as he started 13 games last season. Spivey made 15 appearances, with just one start while Bedford had two starts in 14 appearances. Hopefully, one of the three, or all of them, emerges as an ace for the Irish.
