Spartans Heading to Elite 8
With a narrow 2-1 series win, the Michigan State Spartans have eliminated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and are Sweet 16 winners.

Michigan State won the final game by a score of 8-5, wrapping it up at Drayton McLane Baseball Stadium at John H. Kobs Field.

Griffin's big series saw him hit .583 with a .583 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 3 RBI and scored 3 runs.

The Michigan State Spartans will play against the Purdue Boilermakers in the next round. Purdue won their series against the Indiana Hoosiers 2 games to 0. The Elite 8 schedule will be announced after the Sweet 16 finishes.
