The Rundown

TCU opened the scoring with a run on two hits in the second. Tommy Sacco singled with one out and scored easily on a Kurtis Byrne double for a 1-0 lead.

 

With two outs in the third, a bloop single kept the inning alive for Ivan Melendez. His two-run home run gave the Longhorns their first lead of the game.

 

TCU answered right back, tying the game at two. David Bishop led off the fourth with a base hit. Three batters later, he was standing on third when Lucas Gordon unleashed a wild pitch allowing Bishop to score.

 

Texas broke through with a run on three hits in the sixth. Another two out rally for the Longhorns in the seventh led to two more runs and a 5-2 lead.

 

Brayden Taylor hit his seventh home run of the season in the eighth to pull the Frogs back within two. A costly error in the bottom of the inning helped the Longhorns pick up two unearned runs.

 

Brett Walker (3-2) took the loss after allowing three runs on eight hits. He didn't walk a batter and fanned three.
