It’s win or go home in the College World Series for Notre Dame. The Irish play an elimination game Tuesday afternoon (2 p.m. ET, ESPN) against Texas A&M.

Tuesday is both teams’ third game of the College World Series. Each is 1-1 and lost to Oklahoma. Notre Dame fell to the Sooners 6-2 on Sunday, two days after beating Texas in its opener. The Aggies lost to Oklahoma on Friday and rebounded by ousting Texas from the eight-team field with a Sunday victory.

Notre Dame will be the home team Tuesday. Neither side announced a starting pitcher before game day.

The winner moves on to a Wednesday game against Oklahoma and needs to beat the Sooners twice to reach the best-of-three College World Series final, which starts June 25. Oklahoma won its first two games and will head to the final if it wins Wednesday.

Texas A&M was the No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Aggies went 3-0 in the regional they hosted and needed just two games to win their super regional series against No. 12 seed Louisville. Notre Dame was not nationally seeded, but took out a pair of top-16 seeds to clinch a spot in the College World Series. It won the Statesboro Regional hosted by No. 16 Georgia Southern and beat No. 1 Tennessee in a super regional.

The Irish never led in their Sunday loss to Oklahoma. They trailed 5-0 after five innings and struck out 14 times.

This is the fifth all-time meeting between Notre Dame and Texas A&M. The series is tied 2-2, with the most recent matchup a 5-4 Irish win in 2006.
