Syracuse’s game against Notre Dame on Sunday was canceled due to inclement weather. The final game of the series was initially slated to begin at noon.

The Orange lost the first two games of the series, and a loss on Sunday would’ve been their third three-game series sweep of the season. More than half of Syracuse’s home games have been canceled, rescheduled or delayed so far this season.

On Friday afternoon, the Orange and the Fighting Irish were tied at two going into the fifth, but Notre Dame separated in the final few innings to win 5-2. Then after an extended rain delay on Saturday, the Fighting Irish mercy ruled Syracuse in five innings to win 9-0. Kaia Oliver gave up eight runs in the first two innings which put the game out of reach.

The Orange sit in 11th place of 13 Atlantic Coast Conference teams after the weekend, as Pittsburgh and Boston College rank below them. The Orange are two games behind 10th place North Carolina.

Syracuse will play the final series of its homestand when it hosts Canisius in a double header on Wednesday, with games at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

CLARIFICATION: A previous version of this article didn’t specify that one of the four games was delayed by rain.
