Watch: Lamanna’s epic bat-flip after stretching Notre Dame lead to 5

Facing elimination and leading 3-1 on Sunday night’s game two of the Starkville Super Regional, Notre Dame’s David Lamanna stepped to the plate with two on and one out.

The catcher then crushed the Christian McLeod 1-0 offering into the left-field lounge at Dudy Noble Field to stretch the Fighting Irish lead to 6-1.

Lamanna had four home runs in 133 at-bats entering Sunday evening’s game and made his fifth blast of the campaign count as the Irish try to stave off elimination and force a decisive game three on Monday night.
