Notre Dame softball drops series at Duke

Notre Dame softball opened ACC play this past weekend, dropping two of three to No. 12 Duke. The Irish won Friday's series opener, 5-4, then dropped Saturday's (6-2) and Sunday's (4-3) games

A three-run third and insurance runs in the fourth and fifth innings led to Friday's win. Karina Gaskins and Lexi Orozco each had two RBI, while Payton Tidd pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out six.

Gaskins and Joley Mitchell had RBI in Saturday's loss, as Duke scored five runs in the first three innings, while Mitchell added three RBI in Sunday's loss, as Duke's three-run bottom of the seventh, spoiled the Irish weekend.

Notre Dame (11-6, 1-2 ACC) continue league play next weekend with a three-game set at NC State from March 10-13.
