TCU Stymied In Saturday Loss
4/28/2018 12:00:00 AM | Baseball
April 28, 2018
The Rundown
TCU mustered just one hit, a base hit from Conner Shepherd in the fifth inning, and drew four walks. The Frogs best chance to score came in the fifth after Adam Oviedo moved to third on Shepherd's base hit with one out, but two strikeouts ended the inning.
Texas Tech opened the scoring with a four run third inning. A sacrifice fly from Brian Klein put the Red Raiders in front 1-0. Back-to-back hits from Grant Little and Zach Rheams extended the lead to four.
Charles King (1-2) worked out of a bases loaded one-out jam in the fourth, but ultimately departed after pitching 4 2/3 innings. He allowed the four runs on 10 hits, walked two and struck out one. Caleb Sloan came on with two runners in scoring position in the fifth and struck out the final batter of the inning.
Two hits top open the sixth ultimately came around to score as Texas Tech's lead grew to 6-0.
The Frogs found themselves with another chance to get on the board in the seventh after a walk to Johnny Rizer was followed by back-to-back wild pitches. Again, the Red Raiders wiggled out of the jam with a fly ball to end the inning.
Trey Morris closed out the game for TCU tossing two scoreless innings.
Stat of the Game
6,302 -- Tonight's attendance of 6,302 is the fifth largest crowd in program history. It marks the second largest regular season crowd in stadium history.

• TCU was shutout for the third time this season.
