Notre Dame’s back is against the wall in Omaha on Tuesday. The Fighting Irish (41-16) face the Texas A&M Aggies (43-19) in a College World Series elimination game at 2 p.m. ET.

Notre Dame won its CWS opener against Texas, 7-3, last Friday but lost to Oklahoma, 6-2, on Sunday. If the Irish beat the Aggies, they’ll play the Sooners again Wednesday. Notre Dame would need to beat Oklahoma twice to reach the CWS final.
