It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Grace can now relate to. They fell just short of the Notre Dame Titans by a score of 5-4 on Tuesday. The Lancers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Titans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2017.
Rudy Gargiulo was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Gavin Willis was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. That home run was his first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Brady Borgstrom, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
