And now on Senior Day, we present NDC baseball player, Todd Marshall. In his time as a pitcher with the Falcons, Todd appeared in 45 games, recording 116 strikeouts over 96 2/3 innings. All seven of his career saves came last season, which tied the NDC single-season record.

After making some tough decisions on what he would like to study, Todd chose to major in public relations and he's glad he did. The native of Barnhart, Missouri wants to thank his family for their support during his time at Notre Dame, especially their help in proofreading his papers.

He wants to thank his coaching staff, in particular, head coach Len Barker for having faith in him and associate head coach Jason Erdelyi for the support. When talking about choosing Notre Dame, he said, "The recruiting process was different from other schools. The coaches showed that they wanted me."

His favorite moment was when he tied the program's single-season record in saves last year. Overall, 2019 was an unforgettable season for Todd. As the Falcons' closer, he set the NDC single-season record in lowest opponent batting average (.192) and most strikeouts per nine innings (13.61). He was rewarded by being named First Team All-Mountain East Conference and First Team All-Atlantic Region.

Why did you choose your major course of study?
