Reaction to Notre Dame’s College World Series win vs. Texas
The incredible run by Notre Dame continued on Friday night in Omaha as the Fighting Irish baseball team opened their third ever trip to the College World Series with a 7-3 victory over Texas.
The 5-7 hitters in Notre Dame’s lineup went 6-12 and scored four runs while John Michael Bertrand, Alex Rao, and freshman sensation Jack Findlay combined to allow just three runs to the Longhorns all night.
Notre Dame’s victory sends them to the winner’s bracket of the pool where they’ll play Oklahoma on Sunday night at 7 p.m. ET after the Sooners got by Texas A&M earlier Friday.
Here is how the Twitter world reacted to Notre Dame’s latest victory on Friday night:

It's nice watching Notre Dame baseball and not hearing an entire stadium complain (and groan) every pitch.

Notre Dame appears to not like Orange based T teams.

Notre Dame and OU on Sunday for the “Play like a champion” World Series

CFBReddit (Again)
What's ironic about unseeded Oklahoma and Notre Dame both pulling off upsets against #5 Texas A&M and #9 Texas at the #CWS is that OU and ND are winless at the CFP and Texas and TAMU are undefeated.

@NDBaseball continues their magical run with a dominating 7-3 win. Great team performance. Bertrand with a strong start and Finley with another lights out performance in relief. 36 of the last 40 Champions won their first game. #GoIrish
