TCU rallies from six runs twice to win
FORT WORTH – Twice TCU rallied from a six-run deficit to complete the sweep with a 13-12 11-inning victory over BYU Friday night at Lupton Stadium. Cole Cramer delivered the game-tying hit in the ninth and the walk-off base knock in the 11th for the Horned Frogs.

Karson Bowen doubled to put the tying run in scoring position. With two outs, Cole Cramer singled to right and Cole Eaton slid home with the tying run.
In the 11th, Sam Myers reached on an bunt single. The throw to first sailed out of play, putting Myers on first. Brody Green singled to move the winning run 90 feet away with one out. After intentionally walking Sawyer Strosnider, Cramer hammered the first pitch into right center for the walk-off single.
