It was a back and forth affair with the Fighting Irish yesterday and head coach Chris Pollard was pleased with the way his team continued to battle, both on the mound and behind the plate:

“We were really tough. I thought it was a really tough performance from Kyle after giving up three in the third. You got a guy at third, nobody out and he got off the field without that runner crossing. We did a great job of having an immediate impact by running the two-run home run out of the ballpark. Kyle settles in and gives us a zero. I thought we pitched outstanding from that point forward in this ballgame. One mistake by Hartman on the 0-2 changeup, but other than that, we were outstanding on the bump the rest of the way. I thought we swung it well and they played great defense. They took multiple extra-base hits away from us. We just kept putting good swings on the baseball and we broke through in the ninth."

Can the Cavaliers get the victory and the series today?
