MSU Hosts Notre Dame Tuesday In Midweek Action

• Michigan State opens a four-game homestand at McLane Stadium at Kobs Field by hosting Notre Dame in a non-conference contest on Tuesday, April 25 in a 6:05 p.m. first pitch … the Spartans and Irish are meeting for the second time this season after tangling in South Bend two weeks ago, with MSU emerging with a 7-6 11-inning victory.
 
• MSU’s schedule is subject to change, stay tuned to MSUSpartans.com and @MSUBaseball on Twitter for schedule updates.
 
• Fans can follow this week’s action with “Watch Live,” “Listen Live” and “Live Stats” links at MSUSpartans.com.
 
• For the seventh-straight year, the Spartan Media Network will carry a live audio stream for all home and select road Spartan baseball games this season … The broadcast will be available exclusively at MSUSpartans.com by clicking on “Listen Live” on the baseball schedule … Broadcast veteran Scott Moore calls the action, with Spartan baseball alum Jim Cotter providing analysis.
 
• Tuesday starts a four-game homestand at McLane Stadium at Kobs Field for MSU, as the Spartans will then welcome Northwestern to town for a three-game Big Ten Conference series, Friday-Sunday, April 28-30 … this week is the latter part of a stretch MSU’s schedule that features 12 “home” games in a span of 16 total games, despite three of them being played at Jackson Field due to flooding at Old College Field.
 
• The Spartans had matched their season-long win streak at six games, earlier winning six contests from March 10-22, before the April 8-15 win spurt … last Wednesday’s loss to Purdue Fort Wayne denied MSU a seven-game win streak, which would have been its longest since an eight-game win streak in 2016 (March 5-18).
 
SPARTAN STRONG
It has been just over two months since the mass shooting on the East Lansing campus on the night of Monday, Feb. 13, when three MSU students were killed and five were hospitalized. Michigan State University canceled classes the remainder of the week following the deaths of the three students – juniors Arielle Anderson and Alexandria Verner and sophomore Brian Fraser.
 
Michigan State players are wearing “Spartan Strong” stickers on their helmets in a tribute of the three lives lost and for the five students still hospitalized, and several players have personal tributes as well.
 
Classes resumed on Monday, Feb….
