Parkway North slips past ND

In a pitcher's duel, Notre Dame's baseball team fell 2-1 to visiting Parkway North Saturday.

The Bulldogs (4-2) scored a run in the sixth inning to cut the lead to 2-1, but Jeff Brosey was gunned out at the plate in the bottom of the seventh to end the game. Brosey was trying to score from second on a single.

Brosey took the loss, giving up two runs in four innings.

Offensively, Notre Dame was held to six hits. Blake Urhahn and Andy Ralls had two hits apiece for the Bulldogs. Notre Dame pitchers only allowed seven hits, and neither team committed an error.
