Guenther, Shepherd and Watson homer for TCU

DALLAS – Dallas Baptist put up five runs over the sixth and seventh innings to take control of a see-saw affair en route to an 11-6 win over No. 19 TCU on Tuesday night at Horner Ballpark.

The Rundown
TCU opened the scoring in the top of the second. Alex Isola singled and moved to second on a walk to Conner Shepherd. Adam Oviedo single to center to drive in Isola for a 1-0 lead.

Dallas Baptist responded in the bottom of the inning, picking up a run on two hits. The Patriots first run scored on a wild pitch, followed by an infield single that made it a 2-1 lead.

Isola put the Frogs on top, 3-2, with a two-out base hit in the third only to see the Patriots tie the game again in the bottom of the fourth as a lead-off double eventually scored on a sacrifice fly.

Conner Shepherd's two-out home run in the fifth gave the Frogs a 4-3 lead, but again the Patriots had an answer. A bases-loaded wild pitch brought home two runs and a base hit followed to cap a three-run inning that gave DBU a 6-4 lead.

Back-to-back home runs from Josh Watson and Jake Guenther tied the game, but again, the Patriots responded. With two outs, a bases-loaded hit batter put the Patriots back on top. A dropped fly ball cleared the bases and Dallas Baptist was up 10-6.

A solo home run from the Patriots to lead off the seventh capped the scoring.
