The Rundown
TCU took advantage of a trio of Texas A&M errors to open up a three run lead after four innings of play.
A two spot in the sixth for the Aggies started them on the comeback trail. They took their first lead of the game with five runs in the seventh, highlighted by a three run home run from Dylan Rock.
The Horned Frogs responded with a four spot to tie the game at seven. Tommy Sacco singled home Porter Brown followed by a three run blast off the bat of Brayden Taylor.
Texas A&M restored its lead in the eighth on a two out single after two batters had drawn walks. Again the Frogs had a response in the form of a two-out, two-run home run from Sacco for a 9-8 lead.
In the ninth, the Aggies sent 11 men to the plate and struck for seven runs to cap off the comeback win.
Austin Krob was outstanding in the no-decision. He allowed two runs on three hits, walked three and fanned eight. River Ridings (2-3) took the loss after allowing three runs on two hits in 1 2/3 innings.
