Upset complete! @NDBaseball dances on to Omaha!#MCWS pic.twitter.com/uWf0REhT6f— NCAA Baseball (@NCAABaseball) June 12, 2022 Despite being down 3-1 entering the seventh inning, the Notre Dame bats went to work. First, it was David LaManna sneaking a two-run home run out of the yard to tie the game. It was only his second home run all year — quite the time for it. The very next batter was Jack Brannigan who clubbed a solo shot to left field to give the Fighting Irish the 4-3 lead. The bats were still charged up in the eighth, which was bad news for Tennessee. With two runners on base, Carter Putz sent them both home with a double to right-center field to make it 6-3 Notre Dame. Jack Zyska scored Putz with a single to left, extending the lead to 7-3.
