Kansas Tops TCU in Big 12 Tourney Opener

May 24, 2017
OKLAHOMA CITY – Kansas struck for a quartet of runs in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 tie and held on for the 7-3 victory over No. 6 TCU on the opening day of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The Rundown
TCU opened the scoring with a pair of two-out runs in the second inning. Elliott Barzilli got the rally started with a two-out single and moved to third on a base hit from Ryan Merrill. Zach Humphreys tripled into the right field corner to give TCU a 2-0 lead.
As would be the case the entire game, Kansas responded to a TCU run with runs of its own. A one-out double sparked a 3-run third for the Jayhawks. Matt McLaughlin's triple tied the game at two and he scored on a base hit from Jaxx Groshans.
TCU fought hard to eventually tie the game at three in the seventh. Zach Humphreys was hit by a pitch. After stealing second, he scored on a two-out single from Austen Wade.
A lead-off walk in the eighth opened the doors for Kansas as the Jayhawks put up a four-spot in the inning to take a 7-3 lead. The big blow was a two-out single from Brett Vosik that plated the final two runs of the inning.
Nick Lodolo started for TCU and allowed just the three runs on six hits in seven innings of work. He retired the final 10 batters he faced.
Stat of the Game
3 – All three of TCU's runs scored with two outs in the inning.
Notes:
• TCU dropped to 34-14 in conference tournament games under the guidance of Jim Schlossnagle.
• TCU fell to 9-6 in Big 12 tournament games, including a 9-4 mark in games played in Oklahoma City.
• TCU has scored multiple runs in an inning 82 times this season.
• Austen Wade tallied his 17th multi-hit game of the season and the 36th of his career.
• Zach Humphreys tallied his fifth multi-RBI game of the season.
• Connor Wanhanen has reached base safely in 21 straight games.
• Wanhanen has hit safely in 10 straight games.
• Elliott Barzilli has reached base safely in 11 games.
• Barzilli notched his 10th multi-hit game of the season and the 52nd of his career.
• Evan Skoug has hit safely in all eight conference tournament games he's played over his career.
Next Up:
TCU falls to 39-15 overall with the loss. The Horned Frogs will try and stay alive in the tournament Thursday afternoon as it takes on the loser of the Oklahoma-Texas game at 12:30. The game will be televised on FSSW+.
