FORT WORTH – No. 10 TCU mounted a furious rally after falling behind early, but came up a run short in an 8-7 loss to UT Arlington Tuesday night at Lupton Stadium. Luke Boyers tallied three hits in the game and David Bishop homered for the first time this season.

The Rundown
UT Arlington raced out to a 7-1 lead through four innings of play. Tre Richardson doubled home the Horned Frogs' first run of the game in the third. A defensive miscue with two outs in the fourth led to two unearned runs.

TCU crept closer with a three spot in the seventh. Austin Davis worked a bases-loaded walk. Brayden Taylor followed with an RBI-groundout. Karson Bowen's infield single pulled the Frogs within three, 8-5.
