Superior pitching and sound defense is what fueled the Notre Dame Irish baseball team into the Class 3A Rock Island Super-sectional. The opposite of all that, coupled with base running errors, is what helped cost the Irish a spot in the IHSA Class 3A state baseball finals. Notre Dame (27-7) committed five errors, walked five batters and hit two more in its 8-3 loss Monday to Maple Park Kaneland (24-10) at Duane Swanson Field located on the Augustana College campus. Senior right hander Doug Cicciarelli suffered his first loss of the season for the Irish.
