The Rundown
Austin Krob (4-0) took the mound with a six run lead. After battling out of a bases-loaded, nobody out situation in the first, he was nearly unhittable. The lefty retired 16 in a row to get the game into the seventh. He allowed a hit and a walk in the seventh, but a double play ended the inning. Krob's final line saw him allow a run on three hits, with one walk and a career-high 10 strikeouts.

TCU had a 4-0 lead before the first out was recorded in the game. Zach Humphreys singled home the first two runs of the afternoon. Gene Wood followed with a two-run double and scored on Gray Rodgers' one-out home run.

Brayden Taylor delivered a two-run blast of his own in the second to make it an 8-1 ballgame.

After being held off the board in the third, TCU struck for multiple runs in the next three inning to increase the lead. Wood picked up another two-run double in the third. In the fourth, RBIs from Elijah Nunez and Luke Boyers made it a 12-1 game. Three more runs scored in the fifth. With the bases loaded, Phillip Sikes singled and Tommy Sacco drew a walk. Nunez picked up his second RBI of the game with a groundout.

The Frogs final two runs of the game came home in the eighth on a two out, two run double from Boyer for a 17-1 lead.
