Final Stats | Photo Gallery
FORT WORTH – No. 3 TCU rallied to tie the game with a three-run eighth inning, but a solo home run in the ninth helped Kansas avoid the sweep with a 4-3 victory on Sunday.
The Rundown
Kansas built a 3-0 lead with a two-run sixth inning and a solo run in the seventh. Meanwhile on the mound, Jayhawk starter Jackson Goddard twirled seven no-hit innings.

A walk to Austen Wade loaded the bases. Cam Warner hit a high-chopper for an infield single to make it a 3-1 game. Evan Skoug followed with a two-run single to tie the game.
The come-from-behind win was not to be for the Frogs as Owen Taylor hit a solo home run with one out in the ninth to give the lead back to the Jayhawks.
