The RundownÂ
Facing a 2-0 deficit after the top of the first, TCU wasted little time responding. Elijah Nunez led off the frame with a base hit and scored easily on an Anthony Silva double. With the bases-loaded and two out, Austin Davis lined a single to center to give the Frogs a 3-2 lead.
Â
TCU gave itself some breathing room in the third on the strength of a two out, three run home run off the bat of Kurtis Byrne.
Â
The Frogs exploded for seven runs on seven hits in the fourth to open up a 13-2 lead. Davis got the scoring started with an RBI single. Byrne singled home two runs to make it a 9-2 ballgame.Â
Â
After a wild pitch brought home another run, Tre Richardson singled to right for an 11-2 lead. Brayden Taylor hit a sacrifice fly and Silva's second hit of the inning drove in Richardson.
Â
TCU responded to two Texas fifth inning runs with two of its own. Logan Maxwell's first career home run restored TCU's double-digit lead, 15-4. Texas scored twice in the sixth and once in the seventh to account for the final score.
Â
Sam Stoutenborough started for the Frogs and tossed 2 1/3 innings. He allowed two unearned runs on two hits. He walked one and struck out four. Cohen Feser (1-0) picked up the win in relief. Ben Abeldt closed out the contest with 2 1/3 scoreless.
