Notre Dame scored three runs on four hits in the top of the sixth inning against Boston College starter Nate Jeanes, as the Fighting Irish shutout the Eagles, 3-0, at Campanelli Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Jeanes (2-2) tossed 4.1 innings of no-hit baseball to start the game, allowing his first hit in the top of the fifth on a double by Tony Langford. The southpaw struck out five batters in 6.2 innings of work.
The BC offense never got untracked as Notre Dame's Jeff Manship and Jeff Samardzija combined to hand the Eagles their first nine-inning shutout of the season. Manship allowed three hits in three innings and was relieved by Samardzija in the fourth. The righthander allowed three hits over the final six innings.
The Eagles (20-9, 7-3) staged a brief rally in the eighth inning after Ryne Reynoso laced a one-out single through the right side. First baseman Dave Preziosi walked to put two runners on, but left fielder Pete Frates flied out to left and sophomore Jared Mcguire popped out to center field to end the inning.
Senior Jason Delaney doubled off the center field wall to lead off the ninth inning, but BC made three consecutive outs to end the game.
Notre Dame (16-14, 5-4) took two out of three games from BC this weekend to claim the season series.
The Eagles return to action on Tuesday afternoon when they play at Harvard at 3:00.
