TCU Takes Series Final in Comeback Fashion

FORT WORTH – No. 8 TCU scored twice in the seventh to turn a one-run deficit into a one-run lead and held on for a 3-2 win over Florida State Sunday afternoon at Lupton Stadium. Kole Klecker tossed four perfect innings of relief to earn the win.
The Rundown
A pair of bases loaded walks with two outs in the first was all the runs Florida State would score on the afternoon. Cam Brown settled in and held the Seminoles in check through five. He pitched around an error in the third and tallied back-to-back strikeouts in the fourth to get out of a first-and-third situation.
Brown finished the afternoon allowing two runs (both unearned) on one hit. He walked five and matched a career-high with nine strikeouts.
TCU cut the deficit in half in the fourth as it took advantage of a hit batter. Luke Boyers scored on a two-out base hit from David Bishop to make it a 2-1 ballgame.
After two rallies were cut short by a double plays, the Horned Frogs finally found the equalizer in the seventh. Silva opened the inning with a base hit and stole second. Kurtis Bryne's base knock to left tied the game. With runners on the corners and one out, an errant throw on a potential double play ball allowed the eventual game-winning run to score.
Kole Klecker (2-0) took over with one on and nobody out in the sixth. With the runner in scoring position, Klecker fanned two straight to get out of the inning. He finished the day with four perfect innings of relief that included five strikeouts.
Stat of the Game:
1 – TCU held Florida State to one hit. It's the ninth nine inning one-hitter in program history. TCU's last one-hitter came against Lamar on May 6, 2018.
